A land where magic is forbidden. Power and secrets, buried long ago in the snow. A fractured hero, with wolf and wilderness within. Will his hunt lead him to darkness, or instead shed light on his life and the world around him? #Wildforged #Fantasy #LGBTQIA #ShortRead #Novelette #AvailableNow

So, what, exactly, is Wildforged about? Have a look! We loooooove us a hero who's a little broken. #Read #NewRelease #Fantasy #Magic #Banter #Novelette #LGBTQIA #BookNook #Adventure #ReadMore #Tropes #LoneWolf #Wilderness

As we enter the last days of pride month I’ll leave you with these. We were shown this year that pride is more important than ever. Not the perceived sinful pride of the Bible or pride goeth before the fall but the pride of survival. Of knowing one’s self.

pornography is art the 1A has no exceptions for obscenity and applies to all ages never upload your ID to a website just to look at tits

We're now under £150 away from reaching our next stretch goal!! Who wants some swank printed endpapers on their Wrath Month hardbacks??

Look, I can't fix war, but I can keep writing and encouraging others to write queer little books and make queer little art and then scream about it as a little offerings of joy to anyone who spends a little to get them, and I've decided - that has to be enough.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

nap date! #jayvik #jaycetalis #viktorarcane

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

How I spent my time in therapy today 10 minutes: "hey (therapist), can I get top surgery?" [Yes ✌️ or, their referral at least] 50 minutes: detailing how much exactly I hate the new robot at work, my mortal enemy and absolute piece of junk that doesn't even deserve a burial Time well spent tbh

Our Kickstarter campaign to make stickers, magnets, key chains, earrings, washi tape, and lanyards out of ten adorable Pride-flag-themed dragons by Florilège has launched! Signal boosts and backing both very appreciated: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc... #pride #pride2025 🌈 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

Happy #pridemonth friends. I'm doing a little 🧵 of books you can read that work well w/ the yarn folks will be opening in their pride packs. These are books by marginalized folks. Some are Black/Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, Muslim, Arab, Palestinian. Enjoy! 🧶 Here's your reading list:

I’m pretty exhausted really. All the work leading up the show, trying to stay a float while holding onto months of work. It’s all worth it but it’s so hard for me to slow down when I’m use to such a high speed. This week I’ll take it slow and take my time to get to the show opening on the 7th.

A little reminder before bed.

Your semi-regular reminder that reading should be fun and that there's actually no pressure or rules that say what you should read, how quickly you should read it, or that you should slog your way through a book you don't enjoy! - Michael

I'm not a killjoy: it is socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything

"i really don't care about top/bottom dynamics in a pairing" vs. "i do really care about D/s dynamics in a pairing"

Just preparing the first batch of pride packs, & thought you all could do with some color on your TLs. Thank you so much to everyone, we will make a lil difference for the Trevor Project. 🧶 #indieyarndyer #handdyedyarn #yarnsky #knitsky #pridemonth
