SEX TYPING is my new touch-typing game about typing out the longest and worst sex scenes in literature (licensing them all will be difficult but worth it) and every time you make a mistake a little naked person splatters into a tiny bloodsplat on your screen making it all just a bit more challenging

I’m interested in creating a writing crit group for trans femmes that will meet regularly online. Comics and prose, generally. Genre fiction, mostly. It will be a small group, 4-6 people or so. This is a group for serious trans lady-types who have professional writing goals. DM me if interested!

Shocked and delighted to find "The Homeowner's Bride" included in Reactor's list of must read short speculative fiction!

This Bengali horror-romance about a queer haunted house that's down to fuck is free to read at @othersidespec.bsky.social:

rn we have horror and romance shelved in F so u can see my dilemma

deciding whether genre blurring books go in F or SFF is an interesting part of my job. F gets more circulation at our library but i cant neglect our genre shelf either!!

bloody muscle bodybuilder in hell i have watched 4 or 5 times with everyone i know its like the sisterhood of the traveling bloody muscle bodybuilder

12 horror movies to get to know me. i kept swapping out eXistenZ and videodrome bc i felt like eXistenZ is more sf but its my favorite......

We don’t typically get organic support anymore, just automated donations. This is exactly my design! But that means that as these recurring donations get canceled every other day, I don’t know how to meet these emergencies.

Goku: This Sparrowhawk guy seems strong!

Ursula K. Le Guin: Yes, he was quite strong, but strength meant nothing compared to his foolishness.

Goku: Wow.

“It was hard to choose which story to feature, since I liked all of them” ‼️ We are HONORED (which is code for screaming in excitement) by this shout-out and thrilled to see “The Homeowner’s Bride” by @ayidashonibar.bsky.social featured in this incredible lineup! You can read this story right here:

Hani was my friend.

He was martyred with a targeted drone strike while driving a truck of refugees.

He was so kind. Please. Please protect his children for him.

That is the least we can do.

Most of the campaigns Molly Shah verified here are also available at gazasupporthub.com.

We started this project when Molly was attacked the first time. To ensure her hard work was protected.

I've had limited time to work on this lately after Dad died, but will pick it back up in Molly's stead. ✊
