Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

the final assignment for my degree has been writing up advice for a particular sporting code regarding the inclusion of trans women, considering all the potential DEI issues and evaluating claims based on evidence and wow has it been exhausting actually? some of the trash is really trash

I need everyone to read this quartet. It's one of my favorite series OF ALL TIME and it is unrated and slept on and it's a personal mission to change that.

One of my favorite reads this year!

Imo one of the best epic fantasies of recent years. Big fun fantasy stuff yes, but also some serious reflection on colonialism, extractive capitalism, patriarchy, and control of information. (Also *extremely* recognisably Australian (w/o being fantasy!Aus) if you're from this corner of the world)

It saddens me greatly that I have seen people say "im asexual so it doesn't matter to me" about the rise in censorship- not exclusive to bsky btw; it does matter to you. Your sexual orientation does not give you moral high ground. I dont know how to explain you should care about other people.

Hi. Im a sex repulsed asexual. Just because sex repulses me personally doesn't mean it should be censored the way it is being more and more. Just because you personally dont see the value of sex scenes doesn't mean they're irrelevant. It is not a moral failing to like porn and it shouldn't be erased

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

We are delighted to reveal the cover for First Mage on The Moon by @cameronjohnston.bsky.social! Ella is on a mission to reach the moon–even if that incurs a little blasphemy (and Unity interference). Look for it April 14, 2026 from @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social! reactormag.com/cover-reveal...

Other cultures and societies in the past and to this day have completely different conceptualizations of the cluster of symptoms that we call “autism”, it was the capitalist ruling class who decided it was a disease.

“Facts don’t care about your feelings.” Unless you’re a politician who gets anxious about people using their bodies in ways you disapprove of (like having an abortion or transitioning gender). Then apparently your feelings are a legitimate basis to ignore facts and basic human rights. It’s trash.

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

wishing all my fellow bisexuals a very visible #bivisibilityday the most visible thing i do is write SFF about horny queers making terrible life choices, so why not check out this trilogy-starter full of shifty politics and grumpy dragons it would be easier to count the characters who AREN’T bi🔥

Hello, I'm the writer of queer gothic fantasy that follows a blood mage spymaster as she recruits a noble bastard with a terrible gift to hunt down a magical serial killer for the vampiric Eternal King—all while planning to overthrow him. Isaac, featured on the cover of LORD, is a trans man.

no one who is part of this death cult should be allowed in any position of power. decisions about the future should belong only to people who believe it ACTUALLY EXISTS

almost as bad as boilerplate publishing contracts

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

so is the rapture like new years where the Kiwis get it first and then it comes to Australia while America is still in last year? cos it’s late tuesday afternoon here and nothing has happened. v boring. 0 stars

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Ted Chiang: "The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write [...]. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning."

the most annoying thing about the #bskycensorship is that the tools are already built to ensure youth are protected via confirming their accounts are 18+ to view adult material, and the equivalent of spoiler labels allow adults to toggle or click to consent to see artwork with sensitive topics

Also, rules like this make it INFINITELY harder to avoid. When you disincentive proper tagging because people aren't sure how your vague rules might punish them, you make it so we end up seeing content we could have avoided if the rules had been "mark this so people can avoid it"

I illustrated a tribute to my beloved cat, who is the most evil princess a cat can be. I love her.

I’m neurodivergent and I don’t need to be cured. A vaccine didn’t make me this way. Tylenol didn’t make me this way I just am, that shouldn’t be hard to grasp Here is my latest book (same goes for my transness! that we’re all different is GOOD actually? different experiences and skills is good)

💖 Hi~ I've recently been hired as Illustration & Creative Lead at The Story Division, helping publishers with graphic novel projects. I'm currently updating our artist database & looking for a wider range of art styles. Cartoonists: post sequentials, website, availability below. No DMs/emails plz!

I will never forget how the fully fictional “concerns” of TERFs and billionaires about trans people have contributed to the rapid rise of fascism. There they are, egging it on, not listening to science, history, medicine, and individual experience, fiddling their own prejudices while society burns.

I have an undergraduate degree in social anthropology (from a very long time ago). Everything that the "gender critical" movement (and their centrist apologists) insist as inviolable truth – all of it – was debunked in the very first term of the first year. GCs are fanatical fantasists.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

A lot of fandom antis think its good & polite to keep yucky trauma to yourself, and that its actually proper to experience malignant shame about being violated. Their issue with fictional incest or ungerage character art is the failure on the part of the survivor to live like it never happened

Censorship of taboo work is essentially an arm of rape culture, in that it fosters an environment of silence around abuse, maintaining Wholesomeness, a creepy Pure World where we survivors and our upsetting trauma didn't happen & we don't exist, like some a toxic superficially happy family

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people
