#JuneWorldbuilders 26: The pre-Biran peoples of the "slow water", the river the Bira would later call the River Acca, and the Nivoreans the Aqualenta, worshiped both a freshwater god and a sea god. Both manifested as the same avatar: the delta crocodile. (1/2)

Why am I delusional enough to think I can make this happen? Back in the day, I helped a woman crowd fund to buy a whole house. She had about 25 people who were committed to reposting and making the case. I was one. I reposted her 3x a day but we got shit done. We can do everything I can dream.

A data-driven analysis of how the New York Times's treatment of transgender subjects shifted "from rights-based framing toward more skeptical, conflict-driven coverage" since 2014, centering trans-rights opponents over trans people themselves. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

#WeeknightWriters A4: Yes, it’s about stealing things and identity fraud and blowing shit up and mechanical computers, but it’s also about Nia figuring out who she can trust and be herself with, so basically that.

#WeeknightWriters A5: Yasha, one of the rich kids Nia encounters while pretending to be a wealthy heiress, is loosely inspired by Juri from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Beyond that, nope!

WHAT IF SHONEN WASN'T MADE BY COWARDS 😂😂 So real though #WeeknightWriters

#WeeknightWriters A3: I don't have the energy to write non-queernorm settings, I really don't. These people have enough going on without that on top of everything else. However, that doesn't mean one doesn't still need to figure oneself out.

#WeeknightWriters A2: Nia, 16-year-old pickpocket, roofrunner, and street mage, has had very little time to think beyond putting food on the table and getting her little brother through school. Once, she had people to talk to about being aspec, but is figuring herself out on her own. 1/2

#WeeknightWriters A1: Also, I had the two most popular posts for UnhingedPit on here today. I was extra unhinged by picking the ones that had been most popular last year and reusing them without any changes. So unhinged.

#WeeknightWriters A1: I will say, however, that while I don't want to support or host this, the Bluesky API theoretically makes it possible to mute a hundred or so keywords and/or accounts while I want to actually do stuff and then turn them back on again when I'm in a more doomscrolly headspace.

beautiful women called "These games are on sale on your steam wishlist" are calling me

#WeeknightWriters A1: I've written more in the past week than the rest of 2026 combined. I don't think it's related to me hitting my head, or heat exhaustion or anything else that's happened recently. But I'm making progress again—despite the Horrors, which, you know, are getting pretty fucking bad.

Hi #WeeknightWriters! I'm Catherine, finishing up my YA fantasy about pickpockets who do magic and parkour. They also steal a con man's house and impersonate an heiress, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead-style . Also, there's a clockwork automaton who is a complete jerk.

Hey you! Yeah, you! Don't you want a YA sci-fi where the main character is DUMB? Where heaven is PAY-TO-ENTER? And all the adults are DEPRESSED? Well, fear not, I bring you DANAKE, and you can take a personality quiz to discover which character you are! 🧵 #UnhingedPit

This is riveting. I'm honestly hooked. I hope agents see what an amazing story you have here.

He has done this for 12 years and that is why it has fallen into disrepair which is embarrassing. His residence which he occupied illegally last year, is up to code. 24 Sussex Drive must be fixed so we can look like a proper country.

If someone from the FBI visits you about your algae posts the correct thing to do is to say you won’t talk with them. Please do not talk to the FBI. Like, at all. They have no sense of humor and they will take your stupid joke and charge you with lying to an agent.

I've read this article so you don't have to This end comment particularly would be risible, if so many in my community weren't being threatened with cultural extermination How do you think representation and visibility are constructed in the public sphere, Bryan, you absolutely fucking bellend?

Yes, Slate. That is definitely what happened.

Remember when Slate employed gay people?

They did this in 1998 as well. The bishops and those who ordained them were excommunicated. It's not new and not really a crisis. We will just hear about it because the schismatic SPXX are extremely well funded, including by anti-Semitic and far right aligned European aristocrats.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

I've spent years working towards a ban on conversion practices, hoping to see a bill published. Today, I just feel so profoundly sad. As many others have noted, the draft has a carve out for "healthcare" so broad it makes a mockery of the idea this is a 'ban'. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Thinking of sending your kid to conversion "therapy"? Fun fact: it's not just child abuse, it's also fraud. Don't fall for their scams! You will get the same result* if you just slap your kids around yourself. * Being put in a crooked rest home and your adult children never speaking to you.
