Yeahhh this coming up from AI bro just as the Discourse is jumping on the “male loneliness epidemic” feels a bit on the nose

I honestly don't know why people are in so much denial about this. I keep seeing variants on "how could POC have possibly been present in Georgian Britain?" like, have these people not heard of ships?

The otters, critically endangered eels, protected Atlantic salmon, freshwater pearl mussels and Natterjack toads deserve better than what our Environment Agency and Sellafield want to deliver to them. www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-co...

Even getting it to court, with world class environment lawyers, Leigh Day, means it will get some attention. Attention Sellafield and the EA do not want. Please, donate what you can, and share if you are able. We're so grateful for all the help so far. 🙏

Those people have no skin in the game. They do not care about nature, about otters and eels, or the precious Natterjack toads that will further be imperilled by the water abstraction.

The eel population is already in trouble. We've lost 90% of them in recent decades, and otters are already leaving the river for local gardens with ponds. It's not a good sign.

Cumbrian otters need our help! Here's why: Nature's interconnectedness used to be thoroughly understood by humans. They understood that different animals and plants relied on each other, and that if one disappeared, others would too.

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI) Part 2 #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

there have been Black, Middle Eastern, and Desi people in great britain LONGER THAN THERE'VE BEEN ENGLISH PEOPLE!!!!

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

Putting my hair into a Janeway bun and doing my steeliest expression as I beam Tuvix into space. "Wait, weren't you supposed to..." the EMH begins, but I've already walked out, leaving them alone in the empty transporter room.

And perfect with lanterns!

If you love a cosy MG/lower YA story about princesses, dragons, recipes and palace intrigue - Dragon Sisters might be perfect for you and your tween/teen. :D scarletferret.com/books/comple... Perfect for a Mid-Autumn Festival read. With mooncakes and tea, of course.

Arablit is a great magazine in general; if you can afford it, both to do something good for the world and yourself, now is the time. I know I'll be getting extra print issues to give to friends!

families not alphas! the moon doesn't matter! sometimes your main character isn't your main badass!

Why do warframes look like toku suits

Sales, blogs, new releases, crowdfunders, actual plays, reviews, anything related to mecha ttrpgs: I'd love to add it to the community content section of October's newsletter

Recently published: The Sea-Stone Sword by Joel Cornah. There be pirates, obviously. But also dinosaurs, and a gay main character, and a race of intelligent penguins... wizardstowerpress.co...

Selling this was only ever about limiting the ability to see Palestinians being murdered in real time. This has been laid bare, but it no longer matters, and they China will now transfer ownership to a series of purveyors of the American surveillance state, and war crimes will no longer be visible.

Art is on the precipice of something extremely dangerous. We can take a stand today, and declare all art worth making, including works we find morally objectionable. Or today can be the last time in a long while we are free to make art without suffocating self-censorship

This one goes out to everyone who said Itchio should "just" switch to a special high-risk payment processor for adult content 🙃

Wait until she learns about being a writer in the modern world😭

When I want a battle scene from the Gunmetal Gods Saga brought to life, there is one man I turn to. Omer Burak Onal aced it, once again. I give you "Black Warrior" for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition! Follow the campaign at the link below. Two weeks till launch!

Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is often overshadowed by his legendary work for STAR WARS, but is absolutely deserving of a revisit! 1/2

This is a good line though: "One does not teach ‘Macbeth’ and then give “equal prominence” to a text arguing that regicide is a good idea to provide “balance.” The balance comes from the critical skills taught to analyse the text, not from teaching an “opposing” novel."

took the constructive feedback I received last month! so now we have a pretty little updated ZINE: WHY SAY NO TO DATA CENTERS. please, enjoy & share! 👇 heyzine.com/flip-book/bb...

🐴🌄 "Fell ponies, family life and murder. Great combination! This is a no-frills equine thriller set up north with perfect descriptions of stables and the Fell scenery. A family with it's usual ups and downs, but with plenty of emphasis on the horses. Loved it!" - Review by R. Ford

The Gentleman Wizard of the village carries out his dubious 'magic' on unsuspecting clients until he meets Giulia the maid, who asks for his help to break a spell that involves the king himself! 'Tell Me Who Your Wizard Is' is a new whimsical comedic farce from @gaiapapoila.bsky.social!

Awaking from the captivity of a 1000-year slumber to a changed world, the angel Sraosha embarks on an epic journey to be reunited with his lover -in a boat captained by a human who looks exactly like him… ‘Song of the Seabirds’ is a stunning new 135-page comic from @narsid.bsky.social!
