Hello! I'm looking for a queer horror artist for an anthology short (6-8 pgs)! This is paid work and the rate will go up based on crowdfunding. New creators welcome! Please DM ME with your PORTFOLIO. Final pages will be due in two months. I'll contact my choice in the next two weeks. Thanks!

My new in-development game now has a Steam page! Wishlisting if you're interested is much appreciated <3 store.steampowered.com/app/4577990/...

There’s also a very prolific community of interactive fiction authors publishing fun and inventive work on platforms like Hosted Games. I promise you these are infinitely more enjoyable than anything AI could spit out at you.

⭐The Beekeeper's Picnic has been nominated for Best LGBTQ+ Indie Game at the Gayming awards! ⭐ (And @tobias-weatherburn.co.uk aka Toby III is up for Voice Actor of the Year!) Much like Eurovision, 50% of the score is down tothe public, so head to gaymingawards.com/nominees/ and get voting!

And here's the other one! It's inspired by Abigail Thorn's coming out. If you do not recognize the quote, please rewatch that video on desktop with captions on! It just felt perfect for the whole multiverse thing. (Honestly feel like I should have fitted more alts in there.)

FINALLY finished these pieces for @protonjon.bsky.social's HRT-versary. Have a good one! Context: first quote + second panel reference the Bagel stream from 2016. Rest of the text is a quote from The Secret of Sherlock Holmes which came to mind when Claire explained how she felt about her gender.

Trans speedrunners be like "okay we got bad rng on the character creation but if we spam E repeatedly a chest will appear"

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Happy Star Wars And Throwing Moriarty off A Waterfall Day to those who celebrate.

THREAD: I'm a high school GSA advisor. I want to recommend accessible trans YA media, by trans creators, that you can get with a library card! You don't need Disney to approve of it! I'm going to be sharing some favorites I've read over the next couple of days, a little at a time.

I'm excited to announce I'll be doing a 12-hour charity livestream of Slay The Spire this Monday on my YouTube channel to support trans rights! All proceeds will be going to the Transgender Law Center, the largest trans-led organization in the U.S. More details coming soon!

Let’s boost trans artists and creators! Trans artists, respond with your shop links and portfolio links in this thread, art directors HIRE THEM!! 🏳️‍⚧️

Please, if you can find a way to help support Gaza

when that movement takes shape we will feel the inertia of the curve and it may make us sick from the rollercoaster turn, and that pressure will be uncomfortable and scary, but THEN buckaroo, we will soar, and ill be so dang glad to be holding on tight with you when we do

If you like cosy crime, or if you like Yetis, pixies, the Owlman, etc., or if you like the hugely cute and relatable comics of @rachaelsmith.bsky.social then you may well enjoy Who Killed Nessie, crowdfunding now through @wearezoop.bsky.social ! zoop.gg/c/whokilledn...

It's at 1:47:50 here www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Complimentary! The Bishop of Manchester was talking about using sci-fi & fantasy to explore humanity. GO got a mention alongside Dr Who, Narnia, and the fantasy fiction (his words!) Revelation of John.

And with that, I have to shift over to television... it's time to rob the dragon it's time for elven sights it's time for giant spiders on the hobbit show tonight it's time for bilbo's birthday it's time for barrow wights it's time to fight the nazgûl on the hobbit show tonight

rejected titles for the Lord of the Rings musical: ERIADOR! THE RINGWRAITH OF THE OPERA THE GONDOR KING SHIRE BOYS THE BOOK OF WESTMARCH BRANDYWINE MEMOIRS HELLO, GOLLUM! THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN ROHAN ORCS HOW TO WALK INTO MORDOR WITHOUT REALLY TRYING SPAMON AMARTH THE WIZ

Sometimes people refuse to believe me when I tell them that I saw the Lord of the Rings musical in London. Not the part about my having seen it. The part about its having existed.

"... librarians in the US did not wake up, head to work, and wonder, What are the chances I’m going to be charged with a crime for letting someone take out a book today? But thanks to GOP state legislators, that’s now become a legitimate fear." www.vanityfair.com/news/17-stat...

Heads, up. USB ports are disappearing. Got caught out recently on that one. I also tell people to email it to themselves.

I say over and over to students: "put your presentation slides on a data stick. Not in the cloud." I've seen so many things go wrong with cloud downloads at conferences.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, hello from Krakow Pride today :)

Ah hello, good to see you, I was wondering, would you care to buy a children's book for the front line libraries in Ukraine? Only €6.40. I know there's a fierce number of demands on your finances these days but it really would make a difference. 1/n 🧵 www.idonate.ie/crowdfunder/...

Anyway! Time for my favorite rant! You! Need! To! Learn! The! Difference! Between! Discomfort! And! Harm! No one owes you comfort at their own expense, sorry.

A LITTLE BIT OF BARBIE IS IN EVERY HUMAN TESTICLE CRUMBLED BOTTLES OF EVIAN IN MINERALS AND VEGETABLES SOLO CUPS FOR DRINKING BEER AT COLLEGE PARTIES HISTORICAL OCCUPY THE ARTERIES IN TINY MICROPARTICLES

We took the lead from gasoline, that vaporized into the air, And outlawed all the CFCs that brutalized the ozone layer, But still because of use in every potable injestible There's microplastics found inside of ev'ry human testicle!

MICROPLASTICS HAVE BEEN FOUND INSIDE OF EV'RY HUMAN TESTICLE THEY'VE FOUND THEM IN ALL THINGS MINERAL ANIMAL AND VEG'TABLE THE SHIT IT'S DOING TO US IS UNKNOWABLE, UNMENTIONABLE FROM MARATHON TO WATERLOO IT'S TOTALLY UNTENABLE

While this is legitimately awful, I keep seeing this story, and my brain keeps singing "every human testicle" in the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's major-general's song, and I am not going to suffer alone.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com As someone who loves libraries, please pass the word that some need community advocates to ensure patrons of all ages have a place to be and access to stories

Absolutely agree with this. Also, have a huge epic idea? Turn it into a small idea. Squash it down into a tiny version of what you were thinking because there's a 99% chance that it will be better.

Classic case of how extenuating circumstances should include "sure but it was fucking hilarious, your honor"

"Pretend like you’re describing the piece to a friend (or a gallery!) over the phone. What information do they need to hear to understand the image and the context (why you’re posting it)? Alt text builds a bridge over that “perceptual black hole.” Descriptive text fills it." Super useful guide!

People of England, your attention please. If you count yourself as an ally of trans people, here's an opportunity for real assistance. Good guide in quoted post, but do please use your own words where you can. Consultation open until 11.59pm on 25 June 2024 (BST). www.gov.uk/government/c...

Please if you can buy a raffle ticket for @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com special RED THREAD edition of CORALINE and help me support people like @invisiblesthe.bsky.social and others if you don’t want a ticket please follow them and help spread the word about them raffall.com/348260/enter...

🚨 Indie Bookstore in SF needs our help! 🚨 Noe Valley Bookstore (owned by the erstwhile Folio Books staff) is raising $ to open its doors. It's a queer, woman owned indie, who's hard work and expertise I have personally benefitted from many times. Pls consider giving! gofund.me/a93c2394

hey! there's an itchio bundle to help the flood victims, and it would be great to get more people to see it! itch.io/b/2460/chari...

This isn’t getting as much traction as it should but the flooding in south Brazil is horrific. Over 600,000 people homeless, entire cities have disappeared under water because we’ve been harming the environment so much and this will get worse as more rain hits the region

I just found out that Glad Day Books, Toronto's oldest queer book shop and a fixture of our queer landscape & community, is facing eviction. They're fundraising to stay in business. If you're able, please donate! Here's their donation site with more info. www.gladday.ca/savegladday

I'm really surprised this hasn't funded yet - these are two great creators, and this sounds great.

Already almost 150 downloads wow! Let me know if you do something cute with it 😊
