Please, please, do not give into the "post [X] or horrible things will happen" posts and spread them about. Random people on Bluesky do not have the power to give you bad luck, it's a stupid gimmick for attention. Next time I see someone I follow spreading these, even a friend, I'll unfollow.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. More than just a midnight movie, RHPS became a crucial gathering place for queers, punks, theater kids, and so many others looking for their place...and each other. Irreverent? Yes. Wild? Always. Nonetheless: Don't dream it, be it.

Reading the zine about mad scientists and monsters that I bought a few weeks ago at Pride, and there's a poem called "I'm just a Modern Prometheus, of course I've had it in the ear before" and I had to put the zine down for a moment to just be in awe of the mind that came up with that combination.

We just hit the stretch goal with a mere 17 minutes to go!!!! A huge thank you to the folks on here, and everywhere else, who helped. :D Now is probably not the moment for me to announce another stretch goal, right? 🤣

There's a real chance of hitting the second stretch goal (triple pay for authors! bat stickers for backers!) but it's by no means guaranteed... I think we can do it. And this isn't just me wanting more money, there's A LOT of amazing authors in here who deserve it.

A banner with artwork of a red and gold dragon wearing glasses and talking with a lil white mouse, also wearing glasses. They aresurrounded by bookshelves. A lit candle beside them illuminates the scene. In the background, a black bat carrying a scroll flies by. Text reads, "Duck Prints Press Presents Scholarly Pursuits A Queer Anthology of Cozy Academia Stories." In the upper corner is a green badge with a heart that reads "Projects We Love - Kickstarter."

Zel ( @deathbycoldopen.bsky.social ) also did the gorgeous wrap-around artwork that will be featured in the journal we're offering as a campaign reward!

Artwork in deep shades of brown and brighter golds, showing a person coming down a stair case in a library, bearing a candelbra. A table to one side is stacked with books, a cat rubbing against it.
