Time to watch some smutty gay TV while rolling some joints, two things I might not be able to do this time next year. Enjoying it while I still can. It's really hard to fully enjoy anything these days, knowing there's a chance it could all be gone in an instant. But I try.

It's been a couple years since I last cheesemongered during the holiday season, and oh boy oh boy. I'm so beat.

Support your local bookstore. They're still selling queer books while big stores are quietly removing us from the shelves.

There are two Barnes & Nobles in my city, and both have been scrubbed of any nonfiction books on queer and trans people. Not sure how the fiction section is doing yet. These are dire times. It's not unrealistic to worry about a return to the Hays Code.

As a country, we need to stop thinking we are going to win this fight with laws. The man has broken a thousand laws without consequence.

Getting more used to telling people my art is not made with ai but it does sting every time ahahaha I gotta think of it more like I am a fine craftsman. An exquisite jeweler. They are asking if something so glorious could possibly be made by human hands!

The 2026 Rosalarian calendar is here! And this time, I'm doing it in a way that won't take so long to get to you. No preordering necessary this time. The theme this year is queer love and beauty. It's the energy I wanna bring to the new year. www.rosalarian.com/product-page...

Mimo is helping me draw comics today

I used to catch myself saying "content creator" here and there even as an artist myself and while it had a bit of an icky feeling, I didn't think too much of it. With the advent of AI, though, I've been a lot more mindful of trying to avoid it for pretty much this reason

I didn't think most queerphobes are actually queer themselves, a common fallacy. But JK really really seems like a trans person with deep jealousy issues and an attitude of "If I had to force myself to be my birth gender, everyone else should too."

My buffer for Magical Women ran out and I didn't notice! The holiday season has me so busy at the cheese shop. I posted a bunch of pages on my patreon/website today, and regular free updates will resume next week. Sorry about this!

Magical Women is a comic about what happens when the bad guys won the war and now all the magical girls are middle aged. Can fascism be undone by a divorced retail worker? Read every W&F on MagicalWomenComic.com

I am very close to tears because of how much I want to see this and I know that I will not be able to.

This always drives me a little nuts about people posting that quote. He is talking to children, and it's good advice for children. But you are an adult. You are not supposed to look for the helpers. You are supposed to BE a helper

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

I should make some more Helljuicers™ sometime. I love painting flesh.

- speeds up climate change x100 but hey, you can get to see yourself as a ghibli character!

I got myself tested and my MMR had COMPLETELY worn off, as is common if you're my age. I've got an appointment in a few days to get a new one. I do not wanna fuck around and lose my entire immune system, which is what measles does.

The hottest guy in town is at an event I'm at. Literally every person in town has a crush on him. Good god. I wish I was capable of human language while within a 20 foot radius of this man but alas.

As a queer person, the common idea that "sex" and "penis-in-vagina intercourse" are 1:1 synonymous will never stop being weird to me. "Go down on her before you have sex." Sir, going down on her IS sex.

I love the gay hockey show. Ro is now short for Rozanov. I'm changing my name in honor of Heated Rivalry becoming the first show I've felt even a tiny bit amount of fanboying about in over a decade. No shipping wars because the characters are already all fucking. Pure gold.

Nice term you've got there. Sure would be a shame if everyone started using it wrong until it's useless for communicating the idea it was originally invented for.

It really is exactly like that

Part of why I love my dead grandmas is that they never had a chance to disapprove of my life choices as an adult and ruin their relationship with me like most of my living relatives. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"...and 3 mcdoubles" 💀"WITH NO PICKLES"💀 "...with no pickles please" 💀"GRINCH SALT"💀 "yes of course your holiness"

Reading the article- wait, it took them 7 weeks to put that together? Entire movies are shot in less time than that. I am absolutely certain it would have been faster, and probably cheaper, to do it with real people on real locations, and either puppets or a bit of cgi.

You can tell a lot about someone from how they fuck, and fading to black instead of showing the sex robs us of that character development.

“I couldn’t be less interested in computers and fake things. I like people, I like the way they smell” hell yes man

engaging with TikTok content as if most of it is posted in good faith is a fundamental failure of media literacy in 2025. people openly brag about how much money they make ragebaiting the algorithm. if TikTok content outrages you, assume it was made for that purpose and that’s how they make money

One of my new arguments against AI is that even if it was a good tool, human beings are not in a place to be able to use it without harm. We don't live in ideal world where this benefits mankind. We live in this world where it benefits the rich and fucks the rest of us.

It’s the favorite toy of fascists, why would you want it?

The best way to figure out if a movie/show/book has queer content in it is to look at the 1-star reviews and see how many people complain about the offense to their delicate homophobic sensibilities. Works every time.

Make your own card and show it to meeee

Okay, Heated Rivalry is 🥵

I've been doing this, too! I've been drawing so much more on paper because the computer is so full of constant stress.

99% of my physical mail is junk. 99% of my email is junk. 99% of my voicemail is junk. I'm losing touch with people because they're lost in a sea of spam. I'm losing my mind. I was not made for this world. I don't think anybody was made for this, even the people who made it this way.

Last year I decided on a color palette for all my clothes, and it has made it so much easier to put together nice outfits. Everything goes with everything else. If it's not in my color scheme, I don't buy it. Because I know I won't wear it. (And yes, my color scheme resembles my art.)

Trump does not want us to regulate AI because AI is a tool of fascism. AI is perfect for making people turn off their brains and trust the machine that lies.

I ditched Spotify early this year, but I don't need an algorithm to tell me that this was by far my album of the year.

Realizing 3 YEARS after I've finished the project that I should've called my tarot deck the TAROsalarian.

This post inspired a lot of really good conversation and not one person was shitty or SWERFy. That's a rare thing on social media in 2025. Good job everybody!

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter wasn't actually that intense. A lot of the "queer community" pilloried a trans woman and ran her out of society entirely and buried her literary future because they felt like it and they could taste blood in the water, and that's how all this works.

It's here. Applications are now open for exhibitors, workshops and volunteers for the 3rd annual Black Zine Fair taking place on 5/9/26. Applications are accepted until Feb 9. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

When I decided to try my hand at a horror short, I thought to myself: what am I most afraid of? The answer: losing my husband. This one is pretty personal deep down, even titled after my husband’s real-life nickname for me. Less than 12 hours left to watch it!!

There's no freedom in a world that doesn't include solidarity with pornographers and sex workers.

To have a Yes, And The idea that pornography in an of itself cannot be artistic expression is, put shortly, some bullshit. I *genuinely* do not care if it's "what're you doing stepbro" porn or whatever. Someone had to do makeup, lights, and shoot the fucking (ha) thing. That alone is art.

this. the people working on banning & censoring content dont make the distinction; you making it buys you the "useful for now" label. thats it. its the same as trying to appear as the 'acceptable kind of queer' to anti-queer people, youre selling out your allies to temporarily appease your enemies.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR NUDITY IS TASTEFUL OR WHATEVER AND IT NEVER DID Remember your art history classes, Volterra was covering dicks with underpaints and loincloths all over the Sistine Chapel These people don't even know what "good taste" is and they don't care either

This goes doubly for queer creators. I guarantee you that even if you have nothing racier going on than longing looks and perhaps holding hands, if you write anything other than straight, gender conforming, and preferably white characters, they WILL come for you too.
