it's vaguely embarrassing how much biking at least nine miles a day is kicking my ass. but at the same time? I'm pretty fucking proud of myself for sticking with it (so far, anyway).

I called both of my senators with this script (just now btw), so I hope you all will do the same and stand up for trans healthcare. Cis friends, if you have been enjoying hearing me talk about all the joy my partner has been experiencing while transitioning, CALL and support people like her.

replacing a ceiling fan wasn't on the agenda today but here we are. had a power surge/outage that made our bedroom fan sound like it was trying to broadcast alien radio messages. on the plus-side, the new fan looks pretty badass (despite being in pieces at the moment).

instead of getting mad at individual creatives who are trying to survive perhaps you could consider getting mad at bluesky for making it unsafe for them to appropriately tag things and the payment processors they're surely pre-kowtowing to instead. you know, the actual problems here yellat.money

When the necromancer meets a vampire in a cemetery, they flirt via insults and snark, and she spends 300 pages convincing herself she’s not actually falling for him… 📖: www.amazon.com/Nickel-City-...

the way I made demented hyena noises when I saw this go live last night and clicked so. damned. fast. I might have sprained something. let's just say I'm a little excited about this book.

I am once again trying to remember a book I'd like to reread but realize it's actually probably my brain combining a minimum of three completely different books which means I have no hope of ever figuring this out. woof.

fuck censorship. I don't draw, but I do write smut (romance/fantasy with graphic sex scenes). get access to free epubs of all my books by signing up on my website (or buy them from a variety of retailers). wildfaeriecaps.com a tease from That Bitter Sting:

Pro-tip: When setting up a preorder on Kobo, it helps to actually check the "make available as a preorder" box. 🤦‍♂️ Anyway, Unbroken (Rath & Rune 4) is now up on Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Fuck a bluesky blackout, we need a whiteout. Cum everywhere, a week of moderators being unable to escape The Cum.

Romancelandia: even if you don't read dark romance, the new Bsky guidelines should concern you. Disallowed: "Illustrated or animated" depictions of nonconsensual adult content. Why ban fictional depictions of anything? And how will consent be determined from an illustration?

I would really like to just read a godsdamned book but I'm not in the mood for anything I've picked up and keep dnfing even my favorite comfort reads. ARGH.

the myth of a free platform for artists

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

They aren't backing down, they're getting MORE aggressive So we need to get more aggressive too. Keep calling the payment pros. Start sending them letters. Contact your reps too & let them know you think censoring the internet and especially giving payment processors this kind of power is BAD

finally put some patches on my shoes now that the new iron has arrived. writing burnout has pushed me into picking up a zillion other mildly creative time fillers and I'm not even mad about it.

"Fuck you," he spat. With effort, Dacre pried his eyelids open. Had he imagined the tearing sound as they parted? Needles of light assaulted him, causing moisture to gather and spread as he blinked furiously. Grit like the dregs of campfire coffee scraped with each pass. #WIPSnips
