whispering love poetry to her from my great grandmother's copy of the necronomicon, my gaze pulls up at the sound of her hitched breath. gazing into her bleeding eyes i adlib my own verse, try to scribe it on her soul with my tongue at a distance both a few feet and infinite.
My guilty confession is that in spite of thinking AI is morally reprehensible for its theft and the ecological effects, I take a lot of pain meds so sometimes I ask Alexa how long to air fry things. 😔 I'm sorry, it will happen again.
As a note, one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever put to video games (possibly all mediums) is also an expac, and it's Homeworld: Cataclysm, a game so good I can and would teach a course using it as one of the central examples of "how to write sci-fi sequels"
Every book now is called either some shit like The Things We Used To Know or some shit like ah I’m not really sure. This was gonna be an A+ post but I got too high and forgot the other ones I was gonna do mid-post. But you know me. You can laugh like you would have. It would have been good
Going down a very strange rabbit hole of "reality shifting" on reddit and it mostly seems like stories of people dissociating and self-harming so they can plane shift to live at h*gwarts and i am not at all exaggerating
Doesn't bode well that right before the US has midterms there's a house committee report claiming Donald Trump directly participated in Jeffrey Epstein's child abuse network and it barely makes a dent in the news. It's like people just accept it as normal at this point
This is double annoying when it comes from people who to my knowledge have not experienced the horrific unpersoning abuse that I've gone through, leveling blanket condemnation that we're just doing self harm through kink and a clear sneering dismissal of works they haven't read
im personally not a mechsplo gal [*] but i think people are dismissive of it as a subculture & microgenre in ways that feel a bit unfair to it and the women who work within the scene imo. i think art subcultures to explore sexuality are neat + evolve esp. in dialogue w/ how ppl engage w robot genres
Hey everyone! I’m working on a huge election day guide and I want to ask all of you: what are your favorite races this year that are COMPETITIVE that a Democrat has not embraced anti-trans talking points? What are the races that you think are the most important in America or your state?
Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard
I do not want your AI slop
I kindly wish that you would stop
Pushing it in my face
And in every hobby space
I wish I wish
For this bubble to pop
I do not want your AI slop
This is eminently reasonable, extremely well-argued, and essential reading. Erin is correct about all of this, and it is doubly urgent given what we've seen in the UK. 2026 is the time to correct the Dems about this. 2028 may be too late.
The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people.
I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate.
I make my case here.
Fruit farms starting an active hate camp against bunlith should be a pretty good indication that if you're basically parroting stuff they're saying against any trans woman, you're clearly on the wrong side of things.
One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.
I was so very privileged to be assigned faggot at birth and then get punished for it over and over again as I desperately tried to perform masculinity properly to mitigate the abuse. How fortunate I was to try and contort myself into a shape so alien it made me want to die and failing anyway.
The reason “male socialization” and the idea that trans women are new to oppression is so insidious, is that it implies that we chose to give away the convenience of male privilege and that we some how wasted it / maintain some advantage from it, which is not only baseless but deeply transphobic
To hone in on why: the idea that male socialization or previously held male privilege persists after transition implies that we don’t ever transition to being women, which is textually transphobic. Which is not even to get into the evil idiocy of turning oppression into some demographic point system
geez the news is going crazy tonight
an ISP in Japan is telling users to shut off their computers rn after ransomware attackers plan to hack its customers' PCs, Kushner ordered the hit on Khashoggi, elon almost smashed a starlink satellite into a NATO one to disable finland from helping ukraine🤯
it's the bullshit 'when they go low, we go high' shit that is typical of liberals.
nah. them going low should make it easier for us to take their heads clean off.

“Making us look bad” quietly turns other people’s bigotry into a PR problem trans people are expected to solve by censoring themselves. That’s not protection; it’s respectability politics.
It's even more angering to me when other trans people will see "cringe" trans art and say that it's "setting the community back" or "making us look bad". Actually transphobes are going to hate us no matter what, you're just miserable and want everyone else to hate themselves like you do
When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.”
When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.”
They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.
Evil writing advice for new writers: fit as many characters as you can into your story, each with their own POV. You don't need new chapters or scenes for a POV break, you can easily head hop between them! Make sure they have similar names like Brad, Chad, Burt, Kurt so that readers don't get lost.
the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
