Doing this this weekend, actually

no one will tell you this, but you can stop yourself going mental by hanging out with nice people that you like and having a little drink with them

Hope for everyone else, reserve despair for yourself. This is how to be depressed without becoming a bad person.

Made myself uncomfortable (lots of strangers) and it was a good thing

And in this issue's eco-fiction review, @benlockwood.bsky.social reviews Reef Mind, from @hazelzorn.bsky.social and @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

One of the things I've thought about is how I could've had a lot more success (as in not making as many mistakes) by being more social with other writers. There is no 'correct' way to write, but there _are_ norms and practises you can do to make it easier for yourself over a long period of time

From a distance it’s kind of heartbreaking to see people bind up so much of their hope for experience of the future, so much of their imagination, into a product which they do not actually own and must promote on the market. It’s like what sports fandom would be if teams fully dissolved after losing

Let's try it out

SLOP FOR THE SLOP GODS

Chapter 1: the erotic adventures of a swell guy who loves butts! Chapter 29: in which the protagonist is undone by the revelation that all that encompasses life is but a mote of dust temporarily suspended in a beam of light above the maw of the abyss.

There is enough time, money, resources, space, happiness, and nature in the world for all of us. We don't have to compete, we just have to cooperate.

I am currently finishing off my first round, but I am opening an emergency round due to a giant ugly bill that's hit me. 5 slots available ;; Thank you.

Friends discussing our kinks: wonderful, great, heartening Podcasters discussing their kinks: I really don't want to know this about you

I try not to kill bugs if I can avoid it.

Debanking is one of the more perfidious means of punishing individuals. You cannot operate in modern society without a bank, but each bank has a risk threshold they can't tell you about due to overlapping laws around AML/KYC. There is no higher authority to arbitrate their decisions either.

You ever feel like people's alienation from themselves following the Death of God is taking forms that Nietzsche couldn't even conceive of or nah?

If you grew up male, but always had a different fashion sense and got along better with female family members, and had a non specific yearning in the back of your head, you really need to hear this: one week left to enroll in extended updates for Windows 10

2004: wow social media keep in touch with your friends online 2026: you are about to be held accountable by a 14 year old for a passive aggressive email you sent in 1991. overhead, vultures drift in lazy circles

Using Jaz's bluesky index: can anyone rationally explain why Bluesky sees a 10% increase in actively-posting account activity _only_ on monday-friday?

relevant to current discussions I GUESS

FYI for those that don’t know: You can just delete the Discovery feed 💫

you've gotta make sure the robot's cum cartridges are ready to empty

Me: horrible shit is fucking happening Bluesky users: but are you being nice

I suppose they want a zine version of this then, huh

#borisalienart This just happened in real life I'm a literal AUNTIE I NEEEEED to find my obscure OSTs which only other aunties like me would have preserved

I was wrong

Are we really surprised politically apathetic people, when asked, have wacky and inconsistent politics? A lot of these people have an opinion formed either from what they last saw on the news or what kicked them in the crotch last paycheck

Save the date!

“CIA footage of god” is truly one of the great little phrases of all time. Distills centuries of paranoid lunacy into just a few words. Amazing. I’ll never forget it.

Anyway; Dungeon Crawler Carl is a book series I would have given up on quite early but glad I didn't. While it needed a long runway to escape the trapping of its own genre it moved into a genuine tragedy/revenge story that got me like

Chess pieces are fucking disgusting and won't exist under Marxism

God save me from the assimilationist trans women who'd rather die trying to climb a greased rope than build community together on the ground.

if you must dunk, screenshot only.

art of my robots balls deep into each other, slamming cyber cervix, shooting rope past the orgasm module, blowing load so hard that cum seeps out of every panel crease. but then looking to you, making sure to reassure you - the audience - that they are both fornicating with permission.

This song was playing in my head while I was doing this animation test and it fit haha

Shocking if true

You cannot kill me in a way that matters.

this is basically what passes for reporting in the nypost

Ah the good old "don't like it? There's the door, now fuck off" defense

Queer ppl who are anti-porn are so weird to me man.....like bruh your entire existence is porn to the ppl calling for censorship. Queer handholding is porn. Queer joy is porn. Nothing is "safe" enough

3) Related to #2. If you look at the number of debuts being signed by big SFF pubs written by queer men about queer men it's shockingly, shockingly small. "What about the men?!" is a hard sell but queer men are still queer regardless of relative privilege in some contexts & look at the numbers.

2) In the current time, I'm v happy for all quality queer rep across the genre, but queer men are under-represented, and where we are present it's almost all siloed into m/m romantasy. Which I often like, but it's a problem that that is the majority of our presence & it's typically not *for us*.

you will feel better not staying up late and charging your phone away from your bed

idk who needs to hear this right now but posting about being happy that someone died is actually legal and you can do it at any time about literally everyone unless youre british and referencing the king in which case they'll make something up but like everyone else
