Every now and then I remember the 1700s Japanese illustration of hammerhead sharks and it cures my depression.

Ahhhh @soph-sol.bsky.social thank you so much!!

IT'S SO GOOD Y'ALL

I have a couple short stories in these anthologies! They're still a few hundred dollars short of their goal and I'd love it if you could share and pledge! #queerfiction #anthologies www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

me: time to get stuff done 🧠: ok but what if we just got mad at ourselves instead

My hot take is that we should have accent neutral casting like we do race neutral casting. Stop making everybody talk British in fantasy and superhero films and shows. John Rhys Davies playing a Portuguese man didn't break my immersion in Shogun and Australian Thor wouldn't have done it either

Hear me out but Wen Qing amd Wei Wuxian hooking up a few times (like less than 4) bc WWX in his “str8” phase wanted to try pegging and WQ needed to break in her first strap. They aren’t necessarily attracted to each other, but they don’t need to be to have fun!

she's in a head to toe spangled bodysuit with mesh panels why are you in black pants and a t-shirt with three (3) rhinestones

This is tender and heartbreaking and hopeful and you should read it.

pulling out my dissertation on how betas in omegaverse rather than being the "everyman" often end up incidentally allegorical to asexuals navigating allonormative society

I'm sure no one remembers this shitpost but me, but I need y'all to know I actually did this, every time I didn't have a fic title picked out ahead of time. (There are, incidentally, more versions and editions of this label than you could ever imagine.)

"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed" This. This right here. I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

This is your (very occasional, since I keep forgetting to do it) reminder that I have a Patreon where you can get free ebook downloads, access to short stories I've written (with more to come in the future), life updates, and cat photos! Help pay my vet bills! www.patreon.com/c/scarlettga...

Help me, I want to read Stucky fanfiction but one of them was frozen for 50 years and the other one kept getting frozen and unfrozen and also mindwiped and I can't figure out whether the lived experience age gap is problematic or not

Read a not-great book, popped into the reviews to see if other people had the same issues I had, and discovered people saying they hated the "toxic age gap" between the love interests. Y'all. The MC was in a magical coma for decades, and thus technically was born decades before the Love Interest.

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

Every time I cook a big pot of beans I sing to myself, to the tune of Pink Pony Club, “Big pot of beans! I’m gonna keep on cooking up a big pot of beans!”

starting off my day of sketching for other people's fics with @westie.bsky.social 's little jingyi/jin ling fic :) love these kids #art #ficart #mdzs

Me: *typing carefully* I have decided that 'comps' is short for 'compsognathus,' and therefore you will note that my pitch document describes small dinosaurs rather than 'comparable titles,' so if you Me: Me: Me: *sighing, backspacing*

What the Lan Wangji quote 未知全貌 不予置评 really means ⚖️ Commonly translated as “do not comment before knowing the full story” ⚖️ Because I’ve just seen this quote egregiously misused ⚖️ Angrily emerging from my meta seclusion to write this

Less than $800 to our goal!

Hullo folks, I have started a GoFundMe for the couple and their cats who are currently staying with us due to housing insecurity -- we're trying to get enough together to get them some stable housing ASAP. Anything you can give helps! gofund.me/9068701f

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years. The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny. (Source: Deadline)

creatives are the kinds of creatures that will go "I have enough projects I'm working on right now," then one new vague thought later we're like:

From Dear Writer by Maggie Smith (poet, "Good Bones"), a book of writing/life advice.

Spotted on Google Maps, from a folkloric perspective this seems unwise…

#FilthyFriday "Qing'er." Nie Mingjue's tone was fond but scolding, and Wen Qing shivered as she blinked out of her hyperfocus. When had he gotten home? "Don't suppose you remembered to take a break for dinner this time?" Nie Mingjue asked, the answer obvious even before Wen Qing's stomach growled.

#FilthyFriday He didn't have to watch them this way, Alucard knew. Didn't have to skulk in the shadows while Trevor bowed his head between Sypha's legs and made her giggle, then stretch like a cat in a sunbeam with a satisfied moan.

#FilthyFriday // CNC Qin Su gasped as a small hand with an iron grip closed around her wrist and tugged her sideways into a narrow alley. She was maneuvered up against a wall, her arm wrenched up and back into a nearly painful position that kept her pinned tight to the weathered wood.

Meat tube bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Way too many people hear “language model” and think the algorithm understands language. It does not. It reduces letters to numbers and looks for patterns in the numbers. That’s all it does. That’s all it can do. It does not derive meaning; it does not extrapolate consequences.

HELLO! It has been a while and I am back, baybee! Finally finished this fic I've been working on since Arcane S1 was relatively new. I said it once and I'll say it again: I have a type and it's tired, hot, adoptive father figure at the end of his rope. <3 archiveofourown.org/works/63703018

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
