Walking up on the way to this fest with a bag full of 7/11 roller grill breakfast
Soooo sleepy
Sooo hungry
Pulling the sleeve of taquitos from the shopping bag
Absolutely splattered by a very sick pigeon
Right in my hair
Down my white shirt
Into my breakfast
Fucking kill me

It's so fucking cool to get your work into a library or archive
We are archived a few places, including the Tretter Collection at the University of Minnesota.
Start making stuff, y'all. You never know where it'll end up being preserved for future perverts.
Congrats to the Seven-Foot Slut!
♥️
I sent off the Legal Deposit copy of @bug-in-a-cage.bsky.social's essays to the British Library today! That's another big milestone down, and it means that our little book about size kink is now a part of the world's largest library collection and a legit contribution to English literary history!
shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched
absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night
Some weirdo just tried to scam me (reed) in my DMs
Their profile name was Brett Fitzgerald and they acted as if they were "reaching out for a collaboration" and assured me it was paid lol
Up and coming artist friends: stay sharp. I know how bad you wanna get paid and recognized but it's a scam.
Comic peeps, Cartoonists United has their annual Comic Worker Survey available. Fill it out if you work on or in comics. Artists, writers, self published, work for hire, or whatever. Skip questions that don't apply to you. The more submissions the better.

all the cheap breakfast staples in minneapolis are shutting down because the new big thing is opening a bunch of "third spaces" where you can pay $500/mo to be on a laptop with your friends and not look at homeless people
if you are, like me, a deviant into romantic monsterfucking stories, the shadowmen series by s. rodman is pretty excellent (human dudes x nightmare shadow monsters) and the mismatched mates series by eliot grayson (werewolves, vampires, shifters, fae) is a total delight
me to bf: yeah i was reading this series where demons mate with human men
bf: why did you specify human
me: well i could have meant shifter. or vampire. or kraken. or merman. or warlock
bf: ...
me: im always expanding my horizons. adult learning is real
Pssst

Read the Discipline issue if you've ever wondered how The Times These Days are putting pressure and possibilities in our bedrooms
Michel Foucault was BOTD in 1926 & died in 1984 at 57. Today marks his 100th birthday! An enthusiastic participant in San Francisco's gay leather & BDSM scene, Foucault was fascinated by the possibilities of sex as a form of experimentation, pleasure & resistance to social norms
Tonight, read 'Pukeboy' from Exene F.
"Positioned above the plastic, there is a camera feeding into a computer whose algorithms will interpret the shapes of things to come inside the puddle of my puke, scrying my regurgitation like tea leaves."

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/
It's that time again
That time where I ask if you have an ad you want placed in the magazine
We have prices ranging from $10-70
Degenerates Magazine is sold in stores across the country and on our very own webs site
We run ads for podcasts, events, a comic writing consultant, an audio engineer
I tore open my face by accident so I made a horny little zine about it. Fall Risk is an ero-guro zine based on a true story. TS Taylor Shawn busted her face open and while recovering she fantasized about all the ways her Daddy would use her bleeding mouth.
Genuinely touching that this Indigenous organization with a massive and irreplaceable Dakota and Ojibwe language archive suffered a horrible fire and somehow the language archives came through safely.
Cultural archives are so so important.
The fire was started intentionally at the shop nextdoor*
*according to someone present at the store next door, who said someone broke the glass window and threw something flaming into the room.
Really fucked up scary shit.
Copy and archive your shit as many places as possible, lovers.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t.
If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious.
When did you first realize you were weird?
We will be at today's screenings, tabling our transexual erotic print work.
Come out to this! There are still tickets.
First showing, LA ZOMBIE, starts at 2!
Starting today! Oct 9th 2026

This zine features a story in 3 parts and real pre-operative photos of her torn lip and a 5x3 photo print. You have been warned: these photos are gnarly and not VFX. REAL FREAKS ONLY.
