'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Since preorders are ready for OUR CRIMSON CAGE, did you know you get discounts if you order all the yuri books in my catalogue? We've got toxic lesbian vampires, lesbian hitmen, and a witch and a bard falling in love, plus stickers and memo pads Check it out: ladz-merch.square.site

How about we get a Yuri promo day going today? If you’ve got Yuri tell people about it and where to buy it! #WritingPrompt

If you believe this, and I hope you do, there is nothing stopping you from continuing to protect your vulnerable neighbors by wearing masks in crowded and indoor spaces, especially necessary spaces like healthcare facilities, grocery stores, and public transportation. Absolutely nothing.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

happy yaoi day, the day MELT: REFRAIN opens on, and hector's birthday. to celebrate, i've made the first 5.5k words of the first chapter FREE to read on itch, payhip, or my website! in the spirit of yaoi: have a graphic my husband made of what to expect inside, and a chapter snippet, as a treat.

An assortment of memes and text posts describing MELT: REFRAIN. In clockwise order:
1. Tweet from TrollGod9000: "New hire asking the manager how lenient is the sexual harassment policy"
2. Horses riding in the sunset overlaid with the text "This is your final warning, white boy"
3. Headline from The Onion: "Zing! I Just Got You With Another One Of My Trademark "Complete Lies""
4. Unhinged AO3 tags post: "double uno reverse dubcon"
5. Tumblr post from gayleafpool: "sometimes I think love triangles should be resolved by polyamory but badly like everyone's still mad"
6. Tumblr postt from vamplire: "the vampire does not concern himself with his DSM-5 diagnosis"
7. Image of Liza Minnelli overlaid with the text "kill every motherfucker in the room and fuck the wounded"Excerpt from chapter 1 of MELT: REFRAIN.

If Simon hadn’t been so desperate already, Hector really would bite him open, drink him half-dry and make him woozy and pliant. But Simon’s saucer-wide pupils and laser focus on the red pooling on Hector’s chin and seeping into his beard belie the truth behind his composure. It’s not like Hector’s ever been turned—no doubt something out there could mold a vampire into something else, though he’d rather not dwell on the possibility—but he’s got the gist over the years, how it eats and eats and eats at someone if they don’t get what they need. Born vampires have it bad enough already; what exquisite agony something even worse must be, the basest parts of oneself parched and undeniable.

Out August 2026, preview available now.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

COVID is still killing & disabling folks, esp marginalized groups. This being ignored by governments, institutions, employers, & individuals of EVERY political ilk is an issue of: - racial justice - queer & esp trans liberation - workers rights - child welfare - disability justice - & more!

just looked into this, got automatically opted into a plan that was going to start charging 7 cents per transaction starting jan. 2027 you can opt out by searching 'radar' at the top, clicking 'view plans' on the top right, then selecting 'lite' on the bottom left

btw if you use stripe, they've automatically put you on their "ai-powered anti-fraud" called radar standard and you will need to manually switch to "radar lite" or they will eventually start CHARGING YOU FOR THIS "service."
