Well my plans for the evening just got cancelled. How's about I shower, grab some caffeine, and we do a little streaming over on Twitch? Maybe a little FFXIV? I'm feelin' Viper lately, but after a warm up maybe I'll take requests! Let's say, 4:30 CT? See you soon~! www.twitch.tv/mabelgreysmoke

Here are the poems I read yesterday for the @forgeforwardtrans.bsky.social Trans Survivor Zine Showcase. Grateful for the opportunity to share and to experience such amazing art from the other presenters.

people who aren't cokeheads and haven't ever done a bump, I have one question: if cocaine disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without meth, ketamine, benzos, or any other techbro performance tool? imagine it was suddenly illegal. would you be willing to give it up?

Stop letting people convince you that offloading the deeply human experiences of learning, of creating, of trying things and failing at them, is a privilege rather than a danger.

We don't need more of the same. We don't need algorithmically averaged art* We need your weird, unhinged shit. We need your heart to bleed onto the canvas and the page, even if you don't have the expertise to shape it like you envision *We have that already, it's everything Disney/Marvel outputs.

Even if amateur, you will make something more heartfelt and raw than a machine intermediary could ever make for you

There are some really objective criticisms for both Diablo (3/4) and modern WoW, but most of the things people whine about both games is "It doesn't make me feel like a game from 15 years ago when I was a teenager" and yeah no shit, you are 30-40 now. You will never feel like a teenager again.

I always worry that I complain too much about video games, but then I see what the average man with a Youtube channel complains about and I feel like a very well adjusted adult

"To you I am obscene, but to myself I simply am." - The Creature, Frankenstein (2025) This will be available as prints for Furrydelphia! And boy howdy holy fuck did it take me a while to finish. Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement along the way :')

Cautiously hoping the Star Trek MTG set isn't absolute garbage, and some of the previews have been fun, but what the hell is this art supposedly of the Miranda-class Reliant (cf. a different, CGI Miranda-class from DS9)

this is a great mindset but also a hilarious drag on hong kong phooey, a multiaxial gimbal of racism

i think about this all the time

Of all the things to admit on the internet, “I don’t know how bananas work” is one of the funniest

"Prudery is the enemy of art" - Soviet poster, 1980s

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

I will cosign this with this: there are so many furry artists out there with so many different and varied price points. You can find an artist you can afford if you really think you need one. Meanwhile, the plagiarism machine is powered by blood and stolen work

I love it when my friends tell me about their OCs and lore. "Look, I made a guy. This is why he can't ever find peace. Here's his dick"

When I wrote Slider’s arc in Heartwood, last year, his disability was drawing on my own experiences; since rolling my right ankle on vacation in 2022, I’ve walked with a cane in my left hand (god I continue to love this piece by @distressedegg.bsky.social)

ICYMI, my review for Surface RUPTURE, not Surface Tension, is now live! I messed up the title. I don't know why, I literally have a copy of this thing on my desk.

This Thursday, 7:30pm Central Time: I'm told "Ghosts" will be the first piece of the night! Gender Fucked is offering livestreaming on their YouTube if you want to tune in! (I'd encourage you to still buy a ticket to support them even if the livestream is public on their YouTube)

Big Dyke Energy@azurebitch.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Last year a trans playwright reached out and asked about doing a short 10-minute stage adaptation of my story "Ghosts" for a trans playwright festival in Chicago Turns out it'll be happening this August! www.genderfucked.org/trans-scribe...
