Someone asked why I don't post public pictures of my daughter. I assumed we all knew pedophiles exist and use social media.

Straight women on TikTok are on a "Bi Men are.bad actually" tear, calling us all sorts of shit but not wanting to be called out for bigotry. As one person put it, it's like their version of men being called out for toxic masculinity. They are being asked to reflect on their biphobia & hate it.
"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
We've made it to $3,600 so far! We still have a ways to go, please keep sharing, it only takes a moment. If you are comfortably able to help out financially, every bit helps. Thank you so much! ^_^
Paul Taylor@pablowapsi.com · 4w agoI put together a Gofundme for our son's medical bills. Please help out if you can financially or by spreading the word. Every bit is greatly appreciated! ^_^ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
lol YUP. One of the funniest 48 hours on Bluesky. They would try to bait all the big accounts, get the nuclear block, get added to a bunch of moderation lists, and then just be standing there like

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
We are at Disneyland. Actually got Velma to ride Haunted Mansion. She is now fixated on Madam Leota.
The only online game I play is GTA Online and getting strangers to not vanish in the middle of a goddamn mission is impossible.
Season 2 of "Batman: Caped Crusader" is really good. Holy hell.
Holy shit the train gives you a full box of snacks. Planes just give you contempt and leg pain.
Update: They have just reminded me to unsubscribe by sending out a surprise 30% off the whole site, no exclusions sale announcement. I think they've noticed how upset their (now former) community is. Keep letting them know.
Seanan McGuire@seananmcguire.bsky.social · last wk.Unique Vintage, a company that does an annual Pride collection and has always encouraged customers to see them as a queer-friendly vendor, has just announced their Harry Potter collection.
Back on Twitter I literally blocked someone I never met or interacted with but a few friends kept retweeting and I found their content annoying.
Dana W@danaw.djparticle.com · last wk.At my age I block anybody who annoys me online. I've had thirty years of internet arguments with tools who just want to fight. I.m done with it.
"I should be allowed to bypass a block and tell that person to unblock me cuz I am the main character." No one owes you an explanation for why they blocked you, or to hear you out. What an asshole.
Everybody should just go block him for fun now.

Dear @comicskingdom.bsky.social . Please let me write Mandrake comics. I don't wanna draw 'em. Just write.
⭐✨495% FUNDED!!!✨✨ We are less than $800 away from a HUGE milestone! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...
Unsounded, Books 3 and 4
Ashley Cope's legendary dark fantasy webcomic continues its jump to print, with volumes 3 and 4!

Adding Mandrake was a last minute choice. Originally I never intended him to appear. The comic was gonna end with Papa Katzenjammer as the one teleported to Apartment 3G
Boo-Rian Making Comics@necroknights.bsky.social · last wk.I appreciate the deep-cut that is including Mandrake the Magician in any way shape or form.
@comicskingdom.bsky.social I am once again asking for a collection of Randy's run on Popeye, I would adore having their work in a collected format, especially as while I love it, it is split among like 3 comics right now. Please keep up the fantastic work Mr Milholland!
@oh8.bsky.social Thank you for the books. Sorry for talking your ear off.

Guess I should actually go to comic-con to get my badge
There's an official Candy Land Cafe in San Diego. Like, linked to the board game for toddlers. It sells cocktails. Who wants to go get fucked up at Candy Land with me? @samandfuzzy.com? @alinapete.bsky.social? Anyone?
#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward
