Spice up the holidays with cranberry sauce and disowning fascists!

Hoy es Día Internacional de la Memoria Transgénero y recordamos a todas las mujeres que ya no están aquí por ser víctimas de transfemicidios en América Latina como Sara Millerey en Colombia en Abril. Sara, tu luz nunca dejará de brillar y te recordaremos con amor y honor. #TDoR 🏳️‍⚧️

we sent our QA team to an escape room one time... they grabbed something off a desk & picked the final lock with it. finished in record time

On this trans remembrance day, I want to talk you about Corey Alexander. If you don't know Corey or as they were known as Xan West. They were a trans Jewish disabled author who passed away several years ago.

Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane Support Blender today!!!

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --

If Paypal asks for your opinion, you do NOT say it was NSFW or a commission! Spread the word, because we need to innoculate ourselves to this paypro bullshit.

People are loving these EiAD Flash Fics — 5-minute smut breaks that hit hard — so I built a 4-story downloadable package. 🔥 No subscription required! • Desi & Iron Dragon in the Tunnel of Love • Holstaur Hotline hijinks • Goblin Girl mischief • Phenomenal Lass meets royalty go.evil-inc.net/LwCAyI

I’ve read @lpkindred.bsky.social’s excellent SFF over the past few years & am furious to learn that the AIC admin didn’t recognize his success (or hard work!). The US is terrible with funding non-traditional students. Please share & support if you can, LP is so close to finishing!

Since not enough people have heard of it, I’m going to plug INARA: Light of Utopia edited by @yaffasutopia.bsky.social (ask the rest of their work too!). Trans and queer Palestinian utopian visionary.

as a new manager in a retail store, I am printing educational protocol materials for my employees on how to keep customers and each other safe if ICE enters our property or is seen nearby. even though it’s scary and uncomfortable, I recommend all businesses do the same. resources below:

In a world where cruelty is standardized by a third of the country, please step up for retail workers and food service folks. If you aren't comfortable saying HEY THAT'S NOT COOL to someone who's rude, you can talk to that worker's boss to tell them how great the worker did in the face of rudeness.

One of my fave reads of 2025. Get this book!!!

My favorite thing about the Game Awards nominations is how the only woman included in the Best Content Creator is an anime girl.

🩸Today is Lunar Blights 2 year anniversary🌙 This piece features Guillermo, a rather interesting scientist who's currently obsessed with vampire hunting it seems!

Starting to think that creative publishers and distributors should be co-ops?

Every time a GM adjusts games rules just so a player can live out their wild character concept, the earth gets cooler and it adds one year to its lifespan.

This was the plan all along and why people like Thiel have inserted their cronies into key positions in the govt. They HATE the FDA and have for many years because they want to make drugs (mostly longevity ones) that don’t have to go through serious vetting. Here is the inevitable outcome:

OMG yes!

Things like this will become increasingly common as billionaires increasingly treat low earth orbit like their personal playground and garbage dump

Patreon is currenlty a large income source as I try to get this whole "writing regularly" thing off the ground (had mental health crisis in family, now slowly digging myself out. With my fingernails hahhaha sob)

The thing that I want the readers of my Black trans demon monster romance 'A Damning Desire' to take away from this story is that you shouldn't ever have to minimize who you are to be loved. So many trans people are told that no one is going to love us as our most authentic selves & that's bs!

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

Massive high five to everyone who came to the @handsoffnyc.bsky.social / @bkindivisible.bsky.social event at @anyonecomics.bsky.social today! Incredible turnout - filled the inside of the store and two tables outside! Folded about 800 zines and gave out loads of whistles and buttons and stickers!

I’m too much of an introvert to go on a #book tour so I’m sending this #Haiku Machine out into the world for me. If you’ve got a space that can host a residency in Metro #Detroit, drop me a line, I’ll split the quarters with you. http://katherinemont...#book

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

A torch has not fallen, but been passed to many hands that will hold such a legacy aloft, fueled and inspired by such a spark. Honored to have been even little witness to this lifetime, and wishing comfort and condolences to all in this moment of quiet.

Look who's finally here!!

I've been thinking on this for a while, and instead of a holiday season sale, Bonedust Press will instead dedicate 10% of all direct sales to the San Diego Food Bank. Times are tough and since I have to do the marketing song and dance anyway, I'd like to accomplish a little good with it. #booksky

Came across this article doing research and it reminded me how fun The Drops of God is as an example of what comics can do.
