There's no right or wrong, but I am VERY available as an author and media journalist who knows this material and time period(s) inside and out to help bridge that gap. @mothershewrote.bsky.social is a period piece that's also in conversation with this moment in history. Shared context is important.

If your story is set in the Middle Ages, no one alive can serve as a firsthand source. But older MOTHER fans *do* remember the 80s and 90s; I feel that younger fans adapting 1 and 2 neglect this resource. As a result, their adapations feel less connected to the time period, though I still like them.

Well, there's another Texas book ban and this time The Dog Knight is on the list. If you ever had a doubt what these bans are about, this should tell you. There is nothing sexual in this book, not even anything political. This is about a non-binary kid finding their place with help from talking dogs

The biggest target I've ever seen on my books. Texas placed Banned Book Club and Occulted on a state-wide list of illegal "dirty books." Having them in any school could lead to state takeover where the government could shut down the library entirely and convert it into a student detention center.

Folks, hear me now: YOU WANT TO READ THIS! (I'm the book's editor.) It's a trans romcom about being lovingly forcefemmed at a gaming convention. It's also a novelization of the leads' shared interest: an action-packed trans-coded magical girl anime! Sign up to be notified! ⚔️💖

you sacrifice the oracle to destroy futures where you're not in power. or you subjugate her, claiming to be the sole interpreter of her visions, so that they become weapons to maintaining power an oracle who speaks her own visions must be destroyed thank god, we've made that not just easy, but fun

Jana H-S (she, like a knife)@jana-aych-ess.bsky.social · 2w ago

the idea of a pristine frontier is femcoded claiming ownership over the femcoded, destroying it to serve your purposes, has been positioned as peak masculinity (derogatory) it's always about fucking the virgin. it's always about sacrificing the oracle. that is how they define themselves

Check this out! Via @feudy.bsky.social: EarthBound's Shigesato Itoi supervised one of the Monopoly games for Super Famicom (1993) and "among its 35 computer-challengers is a trans woman! Probably puts her among the first 10 trans representations in gaming history, explicit or implicit." 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧵1/3

I just found out that Reggie Bannister died. He's just one of those guys I love to see on screen - a truly charming weirdo. The Phantasm series is a foundational work for me. This is the only time I've illustrated him, for @consequence.bsky.social's list of the best horror sequels.

Something exciting dropped on the Patreon-locked @midnightburger.bsky.social Discord last night. Something made by @dougbanks.bsky.social and I. It's work in progress, but it's pretty hefty... The secret will be out with the finale. 😈

Discography's journey through The Meat Puppets continues! This episode gets into their material that *really* made me perk up my ears. I'm all about Mirage. @marcwithac.bsky.social is your host, I'm your humble producer, and THIS is a music podcast odyssey. Join us: shows.acast.com/discography/...

Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.

The the tune of "Can't Hurry Love": "Oh, I'm pregnant with bugs 🪲 Those were not grapes! 🍇 Wriggling larvae 🐛 Can't wait 'til they germinate" 🤰

Question for the editors out there (text/prose): Are there circumstances where an editor gets a percentage or some kind of cut when an IP they're associated with is optioned? I'd assume "no" is the universal answer, but I'm wondering if things work differently with tight author/editor duos.

I do think it is important to note that there is 4) Women are better then men at sports and anything that starts to break down a strickly held gender regime might make people realize that sex segregated sports is segregation and not inclusion of women. (Kinda mentioned in 3 but worth noting)

👁️🍄🪸@bloomfilters.plus · 4w ago

they don't want trans women to play women's sports bc 1) prohibiting trans women from women's sports (de jure) and men's sports (de facto) is a great way to otherize them as something not part of humanity 2) policing trans women and trans girl athletes is a socially-beloved Sexual Assault Machine

I promise, I don't have "go to the moon" in my contracts. Or.... Do I? 🤣🤣

Monkeyman Productions@monkeyman.bsky.social · 4w ago

It’s time to announce our first WFO miniseries! Starting Sept. 6th we go “To The Moon” – but maybe not the Moon you’re used to! Featuring Tina Case, Robin Regalado and Cass McPhee, with guests Maddy Searle, Sarah Rhea Werner, Shannon Perry, Jenna Rose and Josh Rubino! Watch for more info soon!

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

Real talk: anyone know where I can get a dress like this? Any recommendations for boutique dressmakers who will clothe me in this manner (in which I should already be accustomed)?

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see.

@softnotweak.bsky.social Heeeey friends. So, the big screen-wide, multi-character swap during the concert is amazing and blew my mind. But it also is blowing my Switch 2's mind. It crashes every time and I lose all the progress. Any plans for a patch? 🙏💖
