textless comic of Dr Ratio from Honkai Star Rail reading while Aventurine chatters on ceaselessly nearby. that is, until Dr Ratio pulls him by the shirt to rest Aventurine's head in his lap, happily quieting him
illustration of a hooded assassin carrying a wounded fox hybrid doctor with pink ears and tail, Moze and Jiaoqiu from Honkai Star Rail
fantasy illustration of 3 characters from one of Cassandra Farrin's novels gathered around a mapping device with strange botanical plants in the background
comic of Genshin Impact's Nod Krai cast as if they were employees of the game dev company, watching a presentation by the CEO about their sales strategy. Flins, a flirtatious fae, volunteers to be the fandom bicycle, much to everyone's bemusement, except Columbina

WorldCon it is 💪
So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.
And this is what they called it.

If you missed it before, I've already articulated a lot of my thoughts about interracial romance by white writers and how Heated Rivalry is missing the mark both on the page and onscreen.

I just read it and HALLELUJAH yes i had every single one of those thoughts while reading it. where do I find the original post of that newsletter here so I can rt the heck out of it!
ooh i didn't know you HAD a newsletter (subscribed!) but funny how i can guess exactly what the Flat POC one from December is about XD
IM CRYING WHAT 🤣 he was just a direly underwritten mc, not autistic
we have words for things like this, did people forget. mary sue, self insert, heck just play an otoge game if you want an invisible MC and a hot jerk w/ heart of gold LI.
it was so obviously written for a str8 female audience
and of course he's hairless, smaller, prettier 🙄
only someone brand new to queer media or someone sopping up any mlm by ww would miss or overlook how many long criticized stereotypes and faux pas the work had in it.
like congrats on going big! but this really ain't "it"
yep i realized I'm best off letting the whole fad blow over. there's nothing to be gained by speaking up. the writing is...okay, if you've never read better. and yes if it's baby's first mlm fiction by ww, yes, you'll miss the overused pretty exotic half asian btm stereotype staring you in the face💀
Nebulas Conference? SIWC?
since I failed to get a reasonably located room for GenCon Writers Symposium and can't waste the spoons coming in from 20+ miles away, I'm aiming my meager writerly vacation funds elsewhere —
what writer cons are you all thinking of going to this year? what's GOOD?
I'm eyeing Readercon...
doubly funny is that it feels like people have made it so sacred that you cannot possibly speak up safely with a critical review... and boy are there things to be critical of
funny because i read the book and it didn't feel like any queer person i know or have ever met, as a queer person aware of it since the 90's & mostly only friends with queers. i saw no reason to watch it after reading the audiobook 😩 ao3 gives me plenty more relatable queer fiction on the daily
Trunk project rules:
1) If it's in the trunk, it's there for a reason. Do not publish until the reason has been addressed.
2) If it's not in the trash it's because there's value in it. Do not throw it away.
3) If you're worried about posthumous stuff, leave notes about Rule 1.

Thinking about this again
Believe it or not, the first Mo*Con was in 2006 making this year its 20th Anniversary! We can’t let that achievement go uncelebrated, so we’re bringing back some old friends and welcoming some new ones! Mo*Con 2026 runs April 30th (coincidentally my birthday) through May 2nd.
Tumblr post: [guy whose bedtime is approaching fast] I need to write one billion words right now. and draw everything that has ever existed.
This. Fuck, this so often
I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit. Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks! Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you. No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset. It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast. Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.
Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.
If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.
hope it helps! :D
yes! can't believe it's been 3 years 😭
not only am i not surprised you pulled this off, but also facts 😆 you ARE a delight!
audio. if a screenreader app reading it aloud to me can't turn the words from blob to meaningful phrases and paragraphs again, then it's just a mental thing I'll have to work through. but if it DOES unblob the words, then i can get inside the words again soon
contract is signed! my sci-fi story, milt, from the bsfa's Fission #5 anthology, will be "reprinted" by @escapepod.org in audio 🎧 in January 2026.
it is, incidentally, the horniest story I've ever published. gender essentialism comes here to die. ✌️
congrats!!! sounds intriguing 👀
