You ever wanna fist fight with your autonomic nervous system? Cuz I do lol

Whoever invented hemp balm, kissing you on the mouth 😩

Slept for like… 4 hours after getting home from work and trying to tough it out and now I’m awake and my mind is clearer but my body STILL HURTS AAHHHHH

Local medic in love with a secretly immortal warmonger, start here to find out how THAT all shakes out.

I promise our book rules so hard. We wrote it in a CAVE with a BOX OF SCRAPS, please imagine what we could do with adequate support (and then support us!) ko-fi.com/ccanterville...

Wish getting published would mean I could quit my day job. I’m so frustrated with this shit 🙄🙄🙄

Body was not happy today and besides the storm shit I cannot tell why. Just… hurt? Okay, thanks bod, love that

An Atsa for you on this fine Monday, enjoy 😌🦋💖

God a year goes by so fast.. today is Little Girl’s first birthday 😭😭😭💖💖💖

professional associates, back in business 💜🧡 #hades2

Nothin’ like a romantasy sleepover with my besties to remove the overstimulated debuff. I feel like a normal guy once more 😌👌🏼

Idk what the deal is but I am OVERSTIMULATED and wish to go home 😖😖😖

Love a date night where my husband and I take our deeply fucked up barbies and make them romantically gag about how much they love each other and how vulnerable that is and oh god love is good for me oh no oh god HGFGH 🤮lmao

If you are choosing tools with no regard for how they are made, and choosing them over your fellow creatives, I think maybe you should go fuck yourself.

Anyway, I'm a writer who will never use AI, married to another writer who is also a visual artist who will never use AI, and if that sounds cool to you, you can check out our work right here. ko-fi.com/ccanterville...

Finished chapter 15 tonight :3 Got a little fruitiness in before the boys are BIG FIGHTING in chapter 16

Man… it’s sweater weather in the mornings but not sweater weather in the afternoons… how I long for all day sweater weather 😭😭😭

"Horror is not political." Me:

Helena's daughter Éabha? it's complicated

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

Warning to anyone who has their art on Spreadshirt.com: They now have a feature where anyone can remix your art and it's impossible to opt out unless you just leave the site altogether. Spreadshirt to artists: We’re taking your designs for AI pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/19/s...

An Atsa for you on this fine Monday, enjoy 😌🦋💖

Finished What Moves the Dead and almost done with Enchantra, I’m saving the last chapters for read along sleep over with the besties. Just TEARIN through books these days lol, onward to Paladin’s Grace

New Faith is now 81,543 words… my gay ass slow burn horror novel door stopper lol

"I'm going to write something cozy," I say confidently, right before filling it with grief.

The friendly neighbor sewer skeletons are back!

On Chapter 10 and Enchantra is both hilarious and an enormous improvement on Phantasma. I’m having such a fun time. He calls her trouble, she bit him on the butt, they have to pretend to be married, it’s all winning lmao

Enchantra’s romantic interest is a black parade shadow daddy lmaoooo he also has a fox familiar. This is gonna be so silly 😂😂😂

Another lovely lunch and book date with my besties 💖 we’re gonna read Enchantra aloud to one another and I cannot WAIT to laugh 😂😂😂

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Had too much fun doing art stuff with my art friend… wake up this morning with sore throat and sinus owwie 😭

Friendly reminder that our whole first draft of TBOB is available for a dollar per volume on Ko-Fi :3 if you're looking for some queer fantasy to read, check us out! ko-fi.com/ccanterville...

Something quick I made because I wanted to and because I'm still stuck drawing lmao We need to keep up the good work and support our nsfw counterparts, sfw people ! #bskycensorship #meme

The number of times I’ve had to reassure my coworkers that I’m not injured or frightened but am in fact gasping in surprise at a book I’m reading is a surprisingly high number lol

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Love waking up like a half hour before my alarm… feels like I’m time thieving from myself lol, I don’t need to get up and get ready and look busy, I’m not punched in to Tuesday yet 🤣

Freydis has also been notoriously antagonistic towards the ace community, so might I specifically recommend Kiss Me, Maybe (starring an ace protagonist) by Gabriella Gamez. Plus, this cover is stunning.

reminder that this directive functionally massively discriminates against Black men and should be understood as part of an ongoing campaign to resegregate the military www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Finished You Weren’t Meant to Be Human and UGH LORD. Haven’t been kicked so hard in the gut and been thankful for the experience since I read The Troop lol it was so, so good. Onward to What Moves the Dead
