Hey that's a WILD parenthetical (Asked on Fox whether Trump prompted his outbursts, Adams invoked his deceased mother: "So it's not that I heard from Trump. I heard from Dorothy Adams, my mother.")

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

What comes off as so deeply cynical about it is the "why now" of it. Reylo is 10 years old. Dramione is 25. It feels like a regression. And also like, "oh well we did diversity for 5 years, now we're done with it! Have some empty and dubiously legal nostalgia!" Cynical.

NYC!! I AM HERE!! 09/23, come celebrate BOOK RELEASE DAY with me at Club Cumming!! 8pm, no cover, a series of incredible performers -- we are going to have the BEST time. See you sooooooon

🩸 OUT TODAY 🥀 Disappear into a dark forest and get seduced, devoured, and perhaps escape your job for good, in NIGHT AT THE VAMPIRE CASTLE: A choose-your-own-romance for adult readers ✶ No experience needed ✶ Replayable ✶ Illustrated & out now www.hari-illustration.com/natvc

I started reading this yesterday and it's delightful. Reminds me of the fictitious Rosie M Banks novels. Victorian factory seduction!

For the record, the most popular book at Book Show & Tell was A Gentleman's Gentleman by @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social So many audience members chiming in they'd read and loved it! The presenter talking about loving books that remind us trans folks were around long before the word trans...

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/🧵

No one ever teaches you how to buy a ceiling fan.

Porn is art, porn is free speech, porn is important to a healthy society, a society without porn is a society that wants me dead.

I like to pretend I'm above superstitions but I also believe the health of the houseplant in my office is inextricably linked to my career's successes or failures

what fucks me up about the Bluesky TOS update is fucking every adult creator i know wants MORE labels and filter options. we WANT more granular control over the labels and spoilers we can put on our work so people who want to curate their timeline to avoid us CAN DO SO

the most annoying thing about the #bskycensorship is that the tools are already built to ensure youth are protected via confirming their accounts are 18+ to view adult material, and the equivalent of spoiler labels allow adults to toggle or click to consent to see artwork with sensitive topics

Couch to 10k but it's for getting strong enough to pick up the cases of cat food you get delivered Is that a thing

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?

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

I already said it, but I will say it again - we need better MODERATION tools, not censorship guidelines. Automod is still incorrectly flagging art as explicit content when too much skin is showing or it represents LGBTQ+ community. We should be given more labels to what we post, not this.

My wife and I are celebrating our 12th anniversary this week, which we both forgot was coming up until our moms inquired about it 👍

Every time I draw cartoon characters punching each other’s lights out, I’m actually encouraging and also literally doing violence. If I draw the Baba Yaga eating a baby, I’m literally advocating cannibalism and also doing meal-planning. Were Bluesky’s guidelines written by twelve-year-olds?

Man if Butch and Sundance hit NOW, there wouldnt be room for anything else on AO3

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Ends tomorrow 😁

A heads up: in this book, Verbena falls for a character named both Flora and William. Flora-William consistently refers to herself as both "he" and "she." Some readers might think this character should be referred to with they/them pronouns. This is incorrect. Here's why 🧵

Seeing people who didn't realize free speech has always been under attack when it comes to certain people react to white men being muzzled, but acknowledging that we all have a part to play I GUESS

everything went downhill when they took porn off tumblr

This online event is starting shortly and should be a lot of fun if you're free and want to join us! www.thepopficcollective.org/webinars-and...

Doing this tonight! Panel is free to watch online www.thepopficcollective.org/webinars-and...

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

It's a big damn giveaway!! You could nab NINE new or upcoming historicals, which is pretty neat Enter: forms.gle/2dJteRjXmLxm...

It's usually just a matter of filling out an online form or sending an email. And it helps for real. Library sales are very, very good for an author.

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

these guys want to be outside the bounds of our shared humanity so fucking bad. the one thing that we all have in common, mortality, and they can't fucking STAND that there isn't some ultra platinum member tier they can join to sidestep it.

Call your reps AND senators! Trans people need to have their healthcare protected. Tell them you support trans people. Cis people, pick up your phones and do some heavy lifting.

to all the age of sail-loving queers who follow me for some reason (positive, affectionate): could be fun

I've been dedicating all of my online book shopping to Loyalty Books vis bookshop.org. It's very easy to do, and ensures that a portion of your purchase will go to the bookstore.

No but actually, art enables us to share experience across difference. Indeed, there are some things that are best communicated through art and any situation that damages our ability to appreciate art damages our ability to communicate across difference.

sorry mom says I can't come out and play. I need to wait for the aperitif to decant

Nothing funnier than when someone backs up their partner by saying "the lady said...!"/"the man said....!" Spousal megaphone. You didn't listen to my beloved so now I'm going to just amplify them until they're heard. Love those freaks.
