I always write a happy ending for my queer characters. They are happy, they are together, they are in love. I'm fucking tired of all sad dead broken queer people at the end of the story. So fucking tired.

posting extremely banned highly illegal depictions of non-consent on bluesky dot app

"the machine we're forcing into everything that is killing the planet will always be fundamentally untrustworthy" what a time to be alive

bsky is silencing free expression and doesn't understand its own audience. #bskycensorship Post the image, change your pfp, use the tag to flood the Discover feed!

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

These are two covers that I made for my husband's MM novel in 2 parts, which was banned back home, the moment its official edition became a bestseller. I'm really very proud of those covers. It differs from my work you usually see, but I hope you like it. #mmart #BLart #mmromance #coverart

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...

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: 🧵

I'm happy to announce that those two works of mine (these are just teasers!) will appear on @hardcoverart.com #hardcover2025 This is an amazing project that will have erotic art from numerous talented artists! Take a look and keep your eye on it! The subject is RETRO! #art #mmart #nsfwart

post a female character you love

This is kind of heartbreaking

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

I think that if you are trying to understand the Anthropic book settlement, and you are not doing it in light of the (extremely) failed Google book settlement from 2011, you will never be able to understand what is happening.

A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.

I saw this quote this week, and want to share it for anyone else who might need it 💙: "you'll never feel ready because ready isn't a feeling—it's a decision."

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

It's over - The Polari Prize has been halted for 2025. Sunk by the decision to longlist a proudly anti-trans author. Credit to the other longlisted authors who were willing to sacrifice award nomination to instead stand in solidarity with their community. This really meant something.

Dear fellow EU residents, PLEASE go to the website and use it to write to your country's representatives to find the AI surveillance act! Repost and share with your friends and relatives! Act up!

If you're a Patreon creator who hasn't received the AI survey, request it through their support ticket: support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/req... If you did receive it already, please do it. Make it clear you don't want AI on the platform in any way.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Adrian Bliss hitting the nail on the head - that stare into the camera at the end, chef kiss 👌 “Making Art In 2026”

This is a survey gathering feelings from authors and readers on AI in the romance space. I left a lot of feedback. The questions themselves (especially the demographic section) have a lot of holes but you should still leave your feedback 🙂‍↕️

i will always side with sex workers and smut creators and you should too. kill the puritanical pearl-clutching brainworm raising a stink about respectability and optics. it is a backdoor fascists will use to sneak their way into your sympathies. porn is good, sex is normal, kink is human. grow up.

"no sex scenes unless it serves the plot" the plot is I want to see them fuck nasty and that's actually legal

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.

I just called visa and registered a complaint where I explained the problem and why it's important and it wasn't scary so yall can do it too I promise

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms: This thread contains everything you need to fight back! - A script - Form links - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Petitions - and more! Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

Banks like Visa and Mastercard are now backdoor moral authorities. They already pressured Patreon, OnlyFans, and others to remove NSFW content. Now Steam is next. And guess who they’ll target first? Queer, transgressive, or “unusual” games.

If I see someone making ANY content that involves characters from HP I block. I don't care if it's fan art or fan fiction. I don't care if you're queer. You're bringing ANY reminding of that evil woman and her fucking Franchise to my feed? Meet the banhammer.

Wow, they are so real! 😍

Hey #cis folks... I need you to understand that "I had no idea you were trans" isn't a compliment. At all. It's an insult to every trans person, because the underlying statement is "I can usually tell," and that's not true either. Get that phrase out of your mouth and your vocabulary. 🧵 👇

How I take criticism:

1. A Mexican revolution trans man... a trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the 1800s... a trans woman fencer and spy turned double agent... a trans civil war soldier who stole his captor's weapon... These are the trans people you never learn in school. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

happy pride month!

Some of the worst opinions on art come from people who think the only purpose of art is to be pleasing

First they came for the gay and trans But I don't like them So they're omitted From my poem. As generations quote me That blank will stay Where the gay and trans once stood And died. Yes first they came for them But I don't like them So first they came for the socialists And I will not speak out.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Stop doing *anything* HP-related. It’s just funding bigotry.

I'm going to integration school, but I'd rather stay home with the fantastic guy I fell in love with at first sight @thistlearts.bsky.social

Let's get a few things straight: 1. Magneto was right (accepted all mutants to his cause instead of just the pretty ones, taught them to love and respect themselves, actively fought against anti-mutant rhetoric to prevent a holocaust). 2. Magneto was kinda stupid (played chess with a telepath).

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.
