On self-reporting surveys, men caught up to women reading romance in 2023 - they’re more likely to rate themselves “very enthusiastic readers” vs women when results are anonymous. Which is probably part of the problem. It’s such a “lol the little wimminfolk” genre in many eyes, despite the numbers.

Took my immunosuppressant and then did a 30 min HIIT workout at the gym… I swear, I don’t hate myself 🫠😭😹

Ugh, I struggled to get my ass out of bed today, but I got up with enough time to eat and currently heading to the gym… Even tho it will wreck me for a few days I am very much looking forward to my next immunosuppressant dose.

Damn Dan. You are really lazy.

if you're a small press or indie author and ESPECIALLY if you don't publish your works on amazon and they're not automatically aggregated, it is a Good Idea to make your books available to add on GoodReads, and TheStoryGraph, and Romance dot io, and equivalent sites

People are legitimately shocked to discover there’s all of 5 places in USA that do facial masculinizing surgery. They’re extra confused why two are in Florida…they get the💡moment when I point out cis people get gender affirming care too, and there’s plenty of hyper masculine cultures in the state.

The US men's hockey team may have won gold, but at the end of the day they still have to go home to the US, so maybe they deserve the medal as a consolation prize for that.

This cat is assembled incorrectly.

Today is the 40th anniversary for The Legend of Zelda. Released for Famicom/NES, the first title in Nintendo's highly successful adventure series introduces protagonist Link, who is tasked with saving the Kingdom of Hyrule and Princess Zelda from Ganon. #RPGanniversary

How insurrectionists should be treated.

everytime an author uses AI to create a bookcover my reader heart dies a little more. #booksky #noai #shameonpeoplewhouseai #supportrealartists

Vivid memories of being the first kid on our block to finish Sonic 3. Playing Armor Battle with my brother with our granddad refereeing when we were really young. People still talk about our video game themed wedding 12 years later. We played Wii Sports and Tank! Tank! Tank! at the reception~

Brevin in all her glory! Even though lots of people insist it must be best boi Lei dressing up as his mom — which, I mean, Lei is TOTALLY best boy so valid!

I commissioned a complex, one-of-a-kind peacock gryphon for @kvalenagle.bsky.social’s Gryon Insurrection series, and it came out looking SO AMAZING. Highly recommend @wolfberrycrafts.bsky.social for unique figurines.

Oh hey, I've now been at @rpgamer.com for 15 years. That seems like quite a while.

“You haven’t stuck anything in your holes lately? - @nubuo.bsky.social Me immediately:

'Lead' and 'read' rhyme. Unless you're saying 'lead' and 'read.' But also 'lead' and 'read' rhyme.

Trans guys are extremely cool.

Loved Forsena and hated Runesia — this looks goooooooooooooood, I am excited to hear more.

I stay in touch with one childhood friend, who technically isn’t a buddy from high school (we had gifted class together when young, always went back to our separate elementary/middle/high school) Half of that was because she refused to let me drift away. Love her for that and so many other reasons.

If it’s a bunch of straight people that won’t know the difference: Gay. If it’s a mixed group that understand basic LGBTQ+ principles: Queer. If the group is farting rainbows 24/7: Gynesexual trans man. Why? Goal is to give people the information they can process without adding complexity.

Sports people: it’s ok to text your gay friend when it’s almost half time so they don’t miss Bad Bunny

Oh sure, when it's a steam game, it's "whimsical." But when *I* teach raccoons how to bake, @pawsrpg.bsky.social tells me I have to get a rabies shot. (Looking into this game now I am definitely the target audience.)

I suggest attending Summer Games Done Quick 2026 ❤️

I wanted to be on #petsky but somehow ended up among the furry community. Like…same but different? I don’t know. I’m not mad about being here but I still don’t know how I got here when I was looking for dogs, cats, birds and bunnies.

Stop scrolling for a minute. Read this delightful story about caring for other people.

Hey I know it's hard to stick it to the American government and billionaires in general.....but one simple way is to not produce and share AI images of Donald Trump drinking gallons of milk and Usha Vance dressed like a couch. GenAI defeats nothing other than the environment and makes the right 💲💲💲

Pete does great work on little touches like this. Hope to ship this in the next big update

Let's see if this go Live feature is any good. Oh, yes, I am live with some more Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. MOM! I am cyber sleuthing!

Elezen deserve plusher pecs.

A lot of chatter about independent media on the timeline. I addition to my own stuff, I visit @rpgamer.com and @rpgfan.bsky.social practically every day. I think they all do great work, each with their own style of voice. I have a type.

There’s knowing a thing and then there’s experiencing a thing - I was told my sense of smell would change as a trans man, and I have been definitely noticing it here and there. Suddenly tonight I understood why all my masc friends dislike the smell of raw chicken. It is vile wtf D:

The Roottrees are Dead is now a year old! In this post we take a look back at all the cool stuff that's happened since. store.steampowered.com/news/app/275...

Blue Prince is part of the current detective event sale thing on Steam, down to 20 bucks! It's incredibly good fun and has so many layers to it, would absolutely recommend to anyone who likes puzzles and riddles.

Eyyyyy the Unfettered series is great if you’re a fluffy reader like me but wanna dip your toe into a dark romance. It’s part of a bigger interconnected hidden in plain site paranormal world, so if you like the writing style, there’s a huge back catalogue to enjoy.
