I have a couple short stories in these anthologies! They're still a few hundred dollars short of their goal and I'd love it if you could share and pledge! #queerfiction #anthologies www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...
me: time to get stuff done
🧠: ok but what if we just got mad at ourselves instead
My hot take is that we should have accent neutral casting like we do race neutral casting. Stop making everybody talk British in fantasy and superhero films and shows. John Rhys Davies playing a Portuguese man didn't break my immersion in Shogun and Australian Thor wouldn't have done it either
Here for this
Hear me out but Wen Qing amd Wei Wuxian hooking up a few times (like less than 4) bc WWX in his “str8” phase wanted to try pegging and WQ needed to break in her first strap. They aren’t necessarily attracted to each other, but they don’t need to be to have fun!
Bernie Sanders meme edited to read "I am once again asking for the men to match their partners' swag in figure skating costumes"
she's in a head to toe spangled bodysuit with mesh panels why are you in black pants and a t-shirt with three (3) rhinestones
This is tender and heartbreaking and hopeful and you should read it.
pulling out my dissertation on how betas in omegaverse rather than being the "everyman" often end up incidentally allegorical to asexuals navigating allonormative society
that is brilliant!
I'm sure no one remembers this shitpost but me, but I need y'all to know I actually did this, every time I didn't have a fic title picked out ahead of time. (There are, incidentally, more versions and editions of this label than you could ever imagine.)
"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed"
This.
This right here.
I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.
This is your (very occasional, since I keep forgetting to do it) reminder that I have a Patreon where you can get free ebook downloads, access to short stories I've written (with more to come in the future), life updates, and cat photos! Help pay my vet bills!

Help me, I want to read Stucky fanfiction but one of them was frozen for 50 years and the other one kept getting frozen and unfrozen and also mindwiped and I can't figure out whether the lived experience age gap is problematic or not
Read a not-great book, popped into the reviews to see if other people had the same issues I had, and discovered people saying they hated the "toxic age gap" between the love interests.
Y'all. The MC was in a magical coma for decades, and thus technically was born decades before the Love Interest.
Every time I cook a big pot of beans I sing to myself, to the tune of Pink Pony Club, “Big pot of beans! I’m gonna keep on cooking up a big pot of beans!”
Always 😩
starting off my day of sketching for other people's fics with @westie.bsky.social 's little jingyi/jin ling fic :) love these kids #art #ficart #mdzs
Me: *typing carefully* I have decided that 'comps' is short for 'compsognathus,' and therefore you will note that my pitch document describes small dinosaurs rather than 'comparable titles,' so if you

Boba Fett 1980: I do human trafficking for space Hitler.
Boba Fett 2021: I would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in dune sea, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Tusken People
What the Lan Wangji quote 未知全貌 不予置评 really means
⚖️ Commonly translated as “do not comment before knowing the full story”
⚖️ Because I’ve just seen this quote egregiously misused
⚖️ Angrily emerging from my meta seclusion to write this
Less than $800 to our goal!
Hullo folks, I have started a GoFundMe for the couple and their cats who are currently staying with us due to housing insecurity -- we're trying to get enough together to get them some stable housing ASAP. Anything you can give helps! gofund.me/9068701f
Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.
The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years.
The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny.

Happy birthday (checks notes) Xiao Jingrui! #NirvanaInFire
Liu Yunhan as Xie Yuchen, looking intensely at Liu Yuning as Hei Xiazi, overlaid with a Tumblr text post that says, "I could be so normal about that old man btw i could be so so so normal about him, if you let me"
Ji Xiaobing as Xie Yuchen looking with longing and concern at Ji Chen as Hei Xiazi, overlaid with a Tumblr text post that says, "i am full of love and also fatigue"
Liu Yuning as Hei Xiazi and Liu Yunhan as Xie Yuchen, looking at each other, overlaid with a pair of Tumblr text posts that say, "*sighs dreamily* what a fucking weirdo" and "*twirling hair* what a fucking freak"
Chen Chuhe as Hei Xiazi and Qiao Zhenyu as Xie Yuchen looking at each other, overlaid with a Tumblr text post that says, "Sure sure romantic pairings are fine and all. But more people should perhaps consider two characters loving each other to the point of incomprehensibility. To the point that there is no simpler way in english to define or describe it than just to say those characters' names together, joined eternally by the vague conjunction 'and'. There's so many types of love and dependencies and emotions in general thrown in there that you can't tell what colors they are anymore, they've jut joined into a giant blobby mess that's almost black, but when you look closer glistens with more colors than there are names for. Just a thought"
