@oldgodspod.bsky.social Hi 👋 just wanted you to know that I'm finally bingeing the series just now (and I love it). The surprise Ace rep was wonderful and means a lot. Thank you 🙇‍♀️

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

I hate this shithole I live in. This is beyond fucking disgusting.

💫GIVEAWAY💫 We're at the halfway mark! To celebrate, one lucky winner will be randomly picked to receive a full order of our #RadioApple/#AppleRadio anthology! TO ENTER: Like, repost, and comment your favorite seasonal tradition on this post! See more details in thread!

Over the last 2 days we received more than $500 dollars in pledges for The Matron 2. Amazing rallying! We have a stretch goal - if we get $5,500 we will open up a stretch reward: www.kickstarter.com/.../the-matr.... 2 days to go: we can add the t-shirt for late pledges if we get the stretch goal!

JOB DONE! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ipi... The Matron v2 (The Bite of Her Ax) has been successfully crowdfunded and will close in a few days (although some of the core rewards can still be late pledged for, including getting vol 1 and 2 together). Thank you so much to our backers!!!!

I will never use LLM for anything to do with my writing. Even my research is driven by good research practice, not AI. Why would I? I like the work. If you don't like doing the work, ask yourself why you're not actually doing something you do like to do, instead.

I just backed THE MATRON Volumes 1 & 2—Slavic folk slasher set in Texas on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ipi...

I'm sure my followers know this, but I'll say it just in case it breaks containment. When the topic is disability; listen to disabled people. Trans rights? Listen to trans people. Racism/ xenophobia? Listen to BIPOC. Women's issue? Listen to women. Marginalised people KNOW what's best for US.

Muttering ‘technically this is a business expense’ every time I pony up forty quid minimum for an interesting book from an academic press.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Anytime the 'creatives are the petite bourgeoisie' thing pops up in arguments for AI or theft I want to scream and start biting. I will eat your fingers. Stop typing like someone who uses college degrees as rolling paper.

Hi, I lost a keychain and I'm wondering if anyone can help me replace it. It was an Alastor keyring where he's eating ribs. It's transparent acrylic and has his name in it in red letters. It came from Etsy, but I don't know who the vendor is. #Alastor #hazbinhotel #fanmerch #fanart

Watch out for Ea Nasir this Halloween!

Dear all of publishing: i need you to put the translator's name on the cover as well because I do not trust, at this point, that it wasn't google.

Happy #BiWeek ! 💗💜💙

Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.

Anti-LGBTQ+ bullying charity must urgently raise £100,000 or face cutbacks

A lot of people don’t like redemption arcs because they’ feel like they’re overdone (which eh, I don’t agree with but I get it). But just as many people don’t like redemption arcs because they hate the idea of someone who hurt them getting to become a better person.
