Trans, mother and housespouse, early 40s. If you followed me because of a meme or I had something nice to say about Peter S. Beagle, I apologize with tongue in cheek; you'll find me dubious company. Mostly here for the musicians, artists and sex workers.

you can’t theorize your way out of being victimized by coercion. neither structural nor interpersonal coercion. sometimes it is less scary to think that you can, because it gives you the illusion of control where none exists. but it’s not your fault when an authoritarian chooses to target you.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Another Horror story that I love that plays on the distortion of women's bodies and how the exploitative will of men is made manifest in them is Junji Ito's Tomie. Hell, the comic I'm writing now is pretty much about that, the difference being is that it's from the woman's subjectivity.

Scroll to my next post for content warnings, but tonally I would compare this to J. G. Ballard, Junji Ito, Cronenburg's Videodrome, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, etc. That statment should be read as an endorsement, but also a warning.

I Don't Sleep Well (Title)

(Spoilers ahead) Content warnings.... uhhhhhhh.... medical horror? Infection? Neurodivergence. Workplace fears. Giant bug abusive boyfriend. Addiction. Blood, bloodletting, medical horror. Unorthodox sex with new orifices. Trans fetishization and trans responses *to* one's own fetishization.

"Epistemological Kessler syndrome" is definitely a phrase I'm gonna find useful.

Vapor Weyve@nymphomachy.meangirls.online

“People should not say things that are true if it loses other people elections” is the exactly the kind of mindrot that, when iterated over and over again for thirty years, has led to epistemological Kessler syndrome. You do not resolve the problem of too many lies by rationing the fucking truth

This is probably the hardest I've seen Petra Parker go so far

i think the funniest thing about the whole Petra Parker trend is that it is indeed visible in the spike of sales I've gotten for Penumbra. Hey, in case you missed it, Trans Spider-Man does indeed exist but for legal reasons her name is Max and her symbiote is named Penumbra. Go read it.

"Bear Talks Games: Downwell." It's funny. An inverted vertical scrolling shooter shouldn't sound like a bold twist on genre. Heading down rather than flying up shouldn't immediately lend Downwell a unique identity amongst its scrolling shooter peers. ... and yet...

saw someone say "I don't get the media's fascination with this guy" wrt this story - rahm emanuel's brother is the CEO of WME Group, a huge media agency. he can get instant fawning press wherever & whenever he likes, which makes it all the more incredible that he is still so unpopular

Rahm Emanuel: ‘You Don’t Like My Ideas? Show Me Yours’ The always pugnacious Democrat is ready to fight Republicans, the DSA, and Bibi Netanyahu. And maybe run for president.

To jump off this, if I’m at a con, please don’t feel obligated to come up with something clever before talking to me. Unless you catch me in the first hour of the first day, odds are good I’m not clever at that exact moment either. You can grunt “Book good!” and I’ll grunt “Yay!” and we’re fine.

Anise K. Strong@anisekstrong.bsky.social

I would presume that the best thing* to say to an author at a con is "Wow; I loved "cool detail in your obscure work that no fan usually mentions"; have a great day!" followed by a generic "I love your work; it's great to see you here." *Unless it is "I am a Media CEO; here is $$$$ for options."

Since I'm printing a whole bunch of comics in prep for Comic World, I should set up a Kofi store or something for anyone who'd like to order The Wrong Kind of People or Jellied Feels. Also if anyone would like to do a zine trade you can message me. #comics
