The Discord "teen by default" shit is insane. It feels so much like corporations want everyone to be in a state of arrested development. That we should all be children they can control. That we have to be sanitized and childlike. Hating this shit so bad. Please call your reps.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

The vibe I bring to the function

Starting a reread of the entire #OctoberDaye series at work this evening, in preparation for Silver & Lead coming out. I can’t wait to delve into @seananmcguire.bsky.social’s world again!

🎯🎯🎯

yeah basically. like, if you want trans people in things it starts with trans people behind things. the reduction of 'representation' entirely to the stated identities of onscreen characters misses the entire point!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

ultimately the way this world treats trans women as utterly disposable even despite so often sounding the alarm early for abuse done, and people not listening or mocking it, is why my politics are so concerned with their wellbeing and political subjectivity

Same stupid censorship has been happening for YEARS online. "Oh we cant tell what age this anime styled person is in this drawing, better ban you just in case" We are in Hell

For anyone who thinks that is a lot of money consider that their last round of funding was for 13B, and that normally big copyright infringement costs like 150k per, not the 3k per they are gonna pay. A fine is a price. For 1/10th of their funding they will keep and use this data. Fuckers.

Dear big tech overlords, may I please buy this copy of 'sentient banana's stole my virginity' or is that too kinky? How bout this vibrator? This lingerie? This print of Lady Godiva? This funny mug with boobs on it? Please master, I need your guidance on what I'm allowed to purchase with my money

"These seeds … were living libraries of Palestinian agricultural knowledge, carrying genetic traits for drought resistance, soil adaptation, and nutritional density. .. The destruction of seed banks eliminates not just current agricultural capacity, but future possibilities for food sovereignty ..."

With emphasis, there is no difference in the conservative mind between porn and "icky porn". Queer existence itself is porn to them. Band together and say no to censorship, wholesale. You will not get a pass for being one of the "good" queers. IN THE CONSERVATIVE MIND, THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

Can we please understand what is happening? He is disarming us as a prelude to our extermination. And making us mentally unfit to own firearms as a matter of law will exclude us from all manner of legal rights. www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

Aaaaand the main business case for consumer LLMs is revealed. It's for gathering data on users, creating profiles, and targeting us with ads and propaganda. Hooray -- it's Web 2.0 with chatbots!

"Sexually Gratifying Works" is the "female presenting nipple" of 2025, and all that implies

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Nothing like waking up at 4am when you have to work in 7 hours and not being able to fall back asleep.

oh to be a new vampire freaking out whilst an old vampire wipes blood off my face and smoothes my hair and tells me it’ll all be okay and nothing will ever happen to me

Limitation of who can make or sell art is fascist. This isn't about morality, which has nothing to do with artistic production or consumption. This is about the dominant cultural group pushing puritanical values on everyone else. This is about controlling speech, thought, and expression. (1/2)

I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.

I told you we’d be back

I refuse to separate the art from the artist. If you're watching trans and gender non-conforming people losing their rights, and still try to pretend your Hogwarts overlord's rhetoric and endless piles of money aren't parallel things, fuck off.

I guess I’m only shopping at Costco now, which is fine. I needed a 300-pack of Twizzlers anyway.

*whispers into the void* "your art will be declared degenerate, so you might as well lean into it."

the most beautiful curve on a man's body is his back arching while he's being pegged

Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."

we must remember anita bryant as she lived

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

good evening "freydís moon" is using the blurb i wrote for their anthology and officially retracted after learning they are, in fact, a serial catfisher, race-fisher, and bully. the blurb was not written for this book (which i have never read) and they do not have my permission to use it.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

2025 is the year of shunning friends and coworkers for using chatgpt

It's the first year in so long that I'm not doing NaNo, and I'm feeling the lack of community a lot. Anyone know of an active alternative this month?

Everyone needs to stop what they're doing and watch this video with sound on

anyway idk if you heard but September is International Long Project Writing Month brought to you by the Mountain Goats! The rules are you write a long form piece. You yourself write it. Poem, screed, novel, prayer, essay, whatever. We don’t have a 501c3 but we do respect authors and their labor

Make everyone feel old in 2 sentences challenge completed

share the first paragraph from your book/wip to gain interest. 💫 Prince of Stars

I found the first pages of an old WIP in my files this morning, and I think I'm going to continue it! I just need a title. And, quite possibly, a plot.

The "No Math, Just Vibes" version of the passage of time for me is: 1984 = 26 yrs ago 1992 = 15 yrs ago 2000 = 10 yrs ago 2008 = 5 yrs ago 2016 = Also 5 yrs ago 2020 = Last Year 2021 = Also Last Year 2022 = The Present 2023 = 1 or 2 years from now 2024 = Next Year 2025 = The distant future
