As promised, have a short little Christmas special for A Little Vice! Please ignore that the timeline does not at all—in any shape, way or form—make sense here. www.scribblehub.com/read/1133654...

Santasephone is here with your present: the first 11,000 words of The Persephone Effect, introducing you to lots of gore, picking up right where Hades Calculus ends. Merry Christmas! #gunmetalolympus gunmetalolympus.wordpress.com/the-persepho...

En la misma línea de hacerme feliz el corazón, lo que he leído de Erin Elkin. A Little Vice va de magical girls con un prota huevito trans y me ha dado ganas de volver a ver Madoka. These Rainy Autumn Nights es una novelette complicadísima y maravillosa que era exactamente lo que necesitaba

Why did you transition, wrong answers only? I read too many fukufics as a teenager.

Fam heads up on a call for submissions: please share with a Black Horror writer who you know would eat this up. Look at that dream editing duo: @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and @chesyaburke.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥 Deadline January 14th, 2026...! blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

If anyone happens to know the TA from the essay thing at at OU who got let go, I'd love to talk with her in any capacity.

New Carve it on my Bones fanart from Renu. Holy shit, Antigone looks good here. tmblr.co/Zaiqueid8T9U...

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers Hard Mode: No Gundam series, Battletech or Macross allowed.

It might seem a bit late now, but if you have read any new transfem literature within the last year, please vote. You can leave as many categories blank as you need. Or, if you're looking for a Xmas challenge, read through the books on one of the shortlists, and vote on that!

All the demographics!

Consider even this article's own evidence. Did anyone ever consider simply ... providing students with things to do otherwise? In experimental designs, we'd call this a confound: you manipulated several things at once, but chose to focus on one of them as "the solution."

You can also hire her to do cover designs, ebook formatting, and paperback typesetting. She can even do those tricky paperback wraparound covers and dust jackets, and charge very reasonable prices! See her portfolio and contact form here. mzakharuk.com

the CEO of larian just pulled the "i'm 12 years old on myspace and my internet girlfriend dumped me" move i'm not kidding

Holy shit; it’s so much worse than the summary suggests.

Chat GPT is an incredibly bad writer, but usually because it picks the blandest, most straightforward way to approach a topic, at least in my limited experience. You can rewrite the sentences completely, but if you’re having ChatGPT lay out scaffolds, I’d guess that actually weakens writing a lot.

I do still really wish the world would be more careful to delineate between AI (basically could be anything) and LLMs (a specific technology) but alas that ship has sailed.

The blade that you hold / was always my bone your body, its sheath / my ruin, your home Blade of Shattered Bone is now finally available wide (some retailers pending)! Go grab this tale of a viciously beautiful sentient blade, an insatiable dragon, and the deliciously broken people they love! 🫀🔥

Even if these things were good, useful tools (they aren’t), it is… perhaps premature to integrate them fully into everything.

Re: Larian, I fully believe them if they say that AI is not going to be in the final product and only is used for brainstorming or whatever. But the opposition is in my mind as much ethical as it is artistic. People don’t want you integrating the global warming machine into your workflow!

For a long time, that was THEE affect that signaled you were a Real Journalist: being savvy and smart enough to know that people with principles were quaint, pitiable little curiosities. And if those people happen to be women, well then they're also just downright childish.

Hey everyone! We have an all-new volume of our annual holiday anthology out! Come get a collection of brand new queer-lit tales from a bevy of trans authors, all for just 50¢ a story! itch.io/b/3432/stwl-...

oh cool so the game awards is also transphobic

Still think of this from time to time

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett casually confirming that 2D of Gorillaz is non-binary now is not what I expected from this album promotion cycle but y’know, yeah, cool, good for them!

Anyone else remember Minami-ke? You know, that incredibly forgettable slice of life about three sisters making it on their own, but also one of the supporting cast members is slowly force femmed over all three seasons?

animal farm is kind of too nothing to deserve this reaction imo. now if we were to get the victor serge memoir or some platonov book done in the dreamworks house style not only would that be hilarious but things might actually be cooked. did you know arknights uses an akhmatova poem for a theme song

Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction. And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake. Read: taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/understand...

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

I feel like every time I see people glazing Expedition 33 people are like “this is the most amazing song/art/character/background/whatever of all time,” and then they show you a solid 7/10 product. Like, it looks like the kind of thing that people who think Bioshock is high art fall over?

Sadly, this continues to be deeply relevant

10 more preorders! If we reach it, we'll release the first 10,000 words of the book.

It's been 2 months since the latest donation to @anariablooms.bsky.social's gfm for gender-affirming surgery. Help her out and/or boost if you can, trans WOC have such a hard time getting traction on here. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ar...

It's time for Padorusephone.

Oh, A Rotten Girl is on the long list! Along with lots of brilliant books! Thank you for everyone who has already voted; there is still plenty of time if you haven't. (In fact, it's a short book, you probably still have time to read it!) moniker-ersatz.itch.io/a-rotten-girl

It's my pleasure to announce the Longlist for Best Transfeminine Fiction in the 2025 TFR Reader's Choice Awards! This year, TFR recognizes 14 titles from every genre and section of the industry 🩷 Thank you to everyone who voted early to craft this list! Voting ends December 26th at 11:59 PM EST.

Writing is a long process where you agonize over every little choice, dithering over whether starting a description with "my world" is too twee compared to "the world" or if it gives the right vibes. And then realizing that you somehow forgot to write most of a sentence at the end of the paragraph.

Are Cyber Newtypes mechsploitation? The greatest forum debate of all time locked by the moderators after 7,420 pages.

Next up: Carve It on My Bones: DRN 4. In which Melusina engages in intense reflection.

CR: Blazed through the first book in a couple days so it’s on to book 2! F/NBi romantic suspense with killer prose

Recced an interesting looking book looking at Ming/Qing China transes via unpacking legal archives from the era; and the historical material looks super rad; but “their subjective identity as a woman,” is, perhaps, not it at all.

My nominations for this year: beekian.wordpress.com/2025/12/02/m... Very much rooting for @jemma.bsky.social @callistokhan.bsky.social @ciricegray.itch.io and @tinylesbianrobot.itch.io

Currently going through forgotten books on my TBR: almost halfway through Naomi Kanakia's JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE Very good YA so far. It's really effective at lensing nuances of transmisogyny and racism through the eyes of a teen trans girl who just wants to live

Is there a point when you can see quotes of your own work and not immediately want to die because you phrased it wrong and the cadence or voice would be so much better if only… and, wait, that’s the wrong “you’re;” indelible, out of your control and suddenly your in hell? Asking for a friend.
