There's nothing stopping secondary world fantasy writers from putting 'a team of retired 60-something assassins are marked for death on the eve of their retirement' or 'two married serial killers must kill one last time' in fantasy settings, but for some reason most of them are only interested in--

I hate the way game reviewers constantly upsell games. They'll be "this game is destroying Western Civilization," or "Feminist thinking infests every aspect of this game like a cancer that will control your mind if you let it." And then there is exactly zero mind control. False advertising much?

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Chapter three done - cw for blood and stigmata fetish, clone incest, NSFW This concludes the prelude arc, and Merope will start heading towards the actual Murder Track portion

While I have food now, I’m broke with no income and I am going to be hard pressed to come up with any money to put towards rent or anything else. I’ve just been treading water for a year. Please, if anyone can help my payment links are in my bio. Uber credit also helps💕💸💸💕 #mutualaid #crowdfunding

What lesbian books are you looking forward to for the rest of this year/early next year? Mine:

In conclusion while the material is interesting, it's very hampered by its format, direction choices, and pacing. In the meantime you may enjoy Pluto, Automata, Vivy, and possibly Casshern Sins.

I know nothing about this anime besides that it starts in a few weeks, but the earring thing *has* to be intentional, right!?

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to say that Porcelain Friday has returned. And what a chapter to return with! In chapter fifteen there will be heart to hearts by the fireplace, and you can read it right here www.scribblehub.com/series/16240...

My only complaint for g-witch is that 1) it didn't traumatize its men sufficiently (it does microwave one alive, which is ideal) and 2) that Prospera could have been more evil and should have gotten to do genocide. For improvement to both points though, you can read Gunmetal Olympus.

Good 🧵 You will probably be safe even if your name is on the dumb list. But please realize that you might not, and even if you are, the list won’t vanish into the aether. You’re contributing to a larger public record of your political actions. Just start good protest habits now.

Bombshell ‘Wall Street Journal’ Investigation Finds Tyler Robinson Once Had Trans Uber Driver

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Please let us not have another dumbass environmentally ruinous tech bubble before AI even pops. But if we must have one, okay yeah let it be the dumbass AR glasses.

Carve It on my Bones 9 is out on Scribblehub! www.scribblehub.com/read/1772883... Somehow, nothing that awful happens in this one!?

Precure reaching insane levels of sneaking lesbianism past the suits this week. The fairies turn human and go to school to reenact the class S novel Meroron was reading…

I have not seen a more serious threat to free speech in America in my lifetime than the crackdown on people making fun of Charlie Kirk. It's blatant, openly endorsed and driven by the state, and nearly universal. Truly chilling stuff.

It's an interesting piece!

the thing about being a knight is that you have to accept you fall in love just a little too easily and that's just how it is. but no matter what, you'll protect the princess, ok? and whatever ideals you hold true.

Finally read what's already out and it's extremely captivating. All the struggles the ways things are misunderstood, the way you have no idea if something is at it seems or if someone is doing French billard trick shots with your mind Also babygirl needs a hug

All magic is fuelled by the binding of souls. The binding of human souls is forbidden. Nadezhda, however, comes to suspect the quiet and well armoured dame knight she has fallen for may be a walking example of such forbidden magic. beedok.itch.io/her-lady-of-... www.amazon.com/Lady-Steel-F...

Excellent urban fantasy here at a shockingly good deal. These books are really tremendous, if you somehow haven’t tried them yet, this is the time It’s like if the Nasuverse wasn’t kinda skeevy and also everyone was a mean lesbian!

Chapter 8 of Carve It on My Bones, my forcefem mecha melodrama trans fic is up on Scribblehub! In which, Melusina, having won a small victory, hesitates to claim her prize www.scribblehub.com/series/17728...

A number of strong yuri anime adaptations lately (to say nothing of whatever the fuck Ave Mujica was), but I would still give my left arm for a Qualia the Purple or Shimeji Simulation adaptation.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Periodically I am reminded of this fact and I always hate it….

I look at my children and try to stay strong, even as my heart quietly breaks. There’s no normal here just fear, survival, and holding onto hope. We don’t need pity. We need the world to see us, hear us, and stand with us.🙏🏻 chuffed.org/project/keep...

There's a cycle in media tech that starts out with "We are so hype cool, persuasive and powerful," and ends with "Oh no, we are so persuasive and dangerous and accidentally evil!" It's a way of assuming blame that's extremely ego-preserving and doesn't really challenge their underlying worldviews.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who donated! So many cool people showed up and chat was bumping, I had such a great time. Here's the raffle winners!(1/2)

I just finished reading A Little Vice by @shadell.itch.io and I can't recommend it more! It speaks to a lot of the internal feelings related to belonging and self acceptance of my trans journey. Go freaking buy it!

In the immortal words of Cúchulainn (the OG puppy girl): “Arf arf arf 🐶 🥺🦴”

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

A solid well-reported study, though I do wish we’d seen some more interesting models. Otoh, imo these debates would be better if we led with e.g., “those with gambling problems spend 8$/month more on average on loot boxes,” than reporting correlations that lay readers may not understand.
