I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Context - I was definitely mildly stoned - This is not something we make in the UK. I had never even had a Graham cracker before - I still don't understand why you pronounce "Graham", "gram." It's a two-syllable word, people!

This is a great question. Yes, 100% of the time these days. It took me an age to learn to have patience with my writing and sit on it (especially when social media pushes you to get everything out FAST), but sleeping on a draft ALWAYS makes for a better piece.

Polaris Edit@polarisedit1.bsky.social

That’s such a writer experience. The excitement after finishing something is real, but stepping away later often helps you see it with fresh eyes. Do you usually let a draft rest before revisiting it?

First direct comment on my blog since I re-launched the site a few months ago. I cannot describe how much joy this brings. If you have read any of my work: thank you.

Hey writers! What's the dumbest creation you're super proud of? I'll go first: I added some magical realism to our slice-of-life relationship comic and turned Alex's ice-cream machine into a sentient house bot called CreamBoi. LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKER THAT CAME FROM MY BRAIN. Your turn!

I wish for AI to die in a bonfire.

Oh Altman literally said “we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish.” There’s nothing I can say in response which isn’t frankly concerning in one way or another

Until recently this arcade cabinet was living with @alexsteacy.bsky.social. I can't wait to see Alex and Ian tinker with it!

Ian Horner@tiltyhouse.com

You may have noticed that LoadingReadyRun has an arcade cabinet in their lobby. Tune in to Tinker Tailor Solder Fry on twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun at 5PM Pacific tonight to see fi we can get it up and running!

Roller derby is one of the biggest, most woman-centred sports on the planet. Its biggest professional body is WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association). WFTDA expressly encourages trans athletes to play roller derby alongside our cis-ters.

Strange thing I have had a hard time admitting publicly, because trans folks are already misunderstood. Women are the most ethereal, beautiful, stoic creatures. As a child I yearned to be a woman or Legolas...and I am AFAB. Trying to perform as a woman always felt like a very thin lie.

If you don't have an MD, you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a doctor. *Stares directly at naturopaths, chiropractors, and Bob Fucking Larson*

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Aww beans I died of black lung

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

This is stunning. I have multiple favourite quotes, including this (edited for brevity): "Freedom... is when...Somebodies refuse to crumple under a snooty nose or crooked law"

The Rumpus@therumpus.net

"Freedom knows a thin or thick wallet ain’t nothing to a forest of hearts." Professor, author, and National Book Award winner @imaniperry.bsky.social answers the question, What is Freedom. ➡️ buff.ly/D7cRBCt

I'm obviously neither Black nor American, but even so this cut me deep: "I come from old growth Blackness Born out of the thicket of American lies and contortions."

Playboy calling out incels is the funniest shit I have ever seen

Playboy@playboy.com

What are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

alix e. harrow@alixeharrow.bsky.social

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

I've gotta be honest: I'd rather have imperfect allies than enemies. Education should feel like letting people in, not calling them out. And also Ken Jennings is being a shitty little bitch.

This is where I am on all points, too.

this guy (doomloop dispatch) literally killed a biker with his car… and he’s posting on twitter how it just made him even more anti-bike lane. The NIMBYs are not OK.
