Going independent has meant having the freedom to say that ICE is kidnapping people, to describe our government as authoritarian, and to say more directly when fascism is happening. I hope we'll start to see this more in large newsrooms before it's too late.

A little something regarding Saros ❤️

Getting into comic books is honestly so intimidating

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

“Trans people being denied the very same medication that cis people are given without question. Many of the refusals are for people that are already on HRT" ✅ Restricting legal recognition ✅ Restricting freedoms ✅ Restricting health care www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Truly wish bookish creators (and publishers) would get over their hard-on for Taylor Swift. Sincerely, everyone who listens to literally anything else. #booksky

Me using a VPN is a literal (actually useful) piece of safety advice given to me by the police for people dealing with stalkers. Using a VPN keeps victims safe, so I’m gonna keep using my VPN, thanks, and don’t you DARE try to stop me.

PayPal's acquiring bank has terminated Steam payment processing (except for 6 currencies), in a continued push from banking companies to censor video games. (Read more: Rock Paper Shotgun)

Thank you @pcspecialist.bsky.social for this beaut 💜💚 #pcgaming

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

Why is it that I always get the urge to draw/read when I'm in the office but have no drive to do either when I'm home? 🤔

Just when I think I'm back onto reading through my tbr and cancelling my illumicrate subscription they draw me in with a book that sounds amazing.

Just got word that Waterstones is running a pre-order sale, and LORD OF RUIN is included! If you’d like to snag this book at release with a 25% discount code, pre-order between now and July 31st!

Audiobooks are great for driving and train journeys but I cannot focus on them at any other time. Therefore it's taking me an age to get through the book im listening to and its so good.

Okay, well. Queer & especially trans authors of erotica and other content deemed 'nsfw' by major platforms, please drop links to where people can find your stories in the replies. Everyone else: Repost people's links. Stop worrying about the sanctity of your feed & help the most impacted authors.

Tomorrow has come.  Pre-orders are open for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack sets: lnk.to/expedition-33-vinyl-CD 🥀 6LP box set 👩‍🎨 2LP double vinyl 💿 8CD box set Exclusive vinyl variants via Laced & IGN. @expedition33.bsky.social #clairobscur #expedition33 There's more... 👇🧵

A very small lobbying group has shut down the two biggest games stores in the world, under the false pretence of protecting kids. It was inevitable this would hit itch.io, and I do believe we’ll find a way around, but it’s incredibly saddening to see them have to do this.

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.

We are on week 3 of my flare up and I'm running out of my pain meds. I'm so done with relying on meds just to exist.

Sex work and NSFW content deserves to exist- it is real work. It's a gateway to censoring not only sex, but queer spaces, alt art and more. Mastercard and itch.i0 absolutely should reverse this decision.

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Congrats to @kyashi.bsky.social who is the winner of the Free PC! 🥳 Thanks again to everyone that entered and stay tuned for more giveaways in the future 🔜

🚨🚨 MISSING PERSON ALERT 🚨🚨 My brother has gone missing in Riobamba, Ecuador. Last seen at 1AM Sunday 20th July at Leprechaun Club in Banos de Agua Santa. Please share this and contact local authorities or me if you have any information on his whereabouts. #missingperson

I think the general public need to cop to the phenomenon of conservative Christians proclaiming themselves to be radical feminists, trans people were way ahead of this rhetorical trick but unfortunately we were ignored

Can you tell I'm bored today? I want to lie down. 😩

LORD OF RUIN has landed! Author copies have arrived at my house, and I’m so excited to finally be holding this book in my hands. This has truly been a labor of love, and I cannot wait to share Isaac’s twisted, sexy, and dark story with the world.

nope. no. never.

God YouTube ads are so disruptive. No wonder why I barely use YT anymore

It is people like Wallace who embed the stigmatisation of autistic individuals. Yes, I can miss social cues, but have amazingly never wandered round work with a sock on my cock. What he is accused of is not autistic behaviour, it's predatory behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I feel like I'd love Spiritbox if Spotify would give me, literally any other one of their songs other than Sunkiller

There seems to be wilful ignorance as to what the Stop Killing Games petition is aiming for, and it's not to force active support games for eternity. It's for future games to account for end-of-life transitions, peer-to-peer options, and to not lock SP content behind internet.

Yikes

Ngl the folding size of the xm6s is such a selling point. However, I have my xm5s that I'm going to wear until they die.

Ngl buying something you think was (and was advertised as) handmade by a small European business only to receive something still wrapped in the Chinese packaging and the 'wood' is actually plastic is beyond frustrating. I've no issue buying from China but this just kinda disappointed me.

We're celebrating #10YearsofTheWitcher3 with a lofi reimagining of one of the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s most iconic tracks, Geralt of Rivia, now streaming on Lofi Girl's Medieval Radio ⚔️ Spot the Wolf School medallion and see if you find the track amongst the radio's soothing medieval tunes! 🎶

I forget that mcm is this weekend all the time until I get inundated with posts about it.

Welcoming @maisey.bsky.social to the crew officially with her first article! 👏🏻 In it she reflects on how new players found remarkable ways to play through Baldur's Gate 3 due to the way it was designed around player expression. #BaldursGate3 @larianstudios.com seasonedgaming.com/2025/05/22/t...

Reaction to the final episode of Andor is up on Youtube! What a fun ride. Thanks for being patient with my uploads! <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmcv...

Went to a garden centre on a country estate at the weekend and walked some of the grounds. A brave little robin perched right next to me while I sat in the shade.

Reminder that defending porn is an absolute requirement for the right to free speech. you will lose all autonomy trying to scrub uncomfortable content.

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’ That is literally where that money for these games go. Buying her trash, funds anti LGBTQ+ laws.

Wish my record player had an actual off switch rather than having to unplug it to turn it off. So impractical
