Honestly this post could mean either Bob Hoskins or Roger Rabbit and I'd agree with it.

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

The proof-listen for the Impossible Magic audiobook has certainly picked up a few more typos that snuck through my edits - I'll clean those up and update the ebook and print files while the audiobook goes through the final stages of production!

Went to see the new Spiderman movie yesterday and everyone applauded at the end of the movie. Why?

Did you know I have an audibook for Axinstone available? I don't talk about it enough, but it's got a great narrator in @khaki.dog who has done some amazing things with the character voices! www.audible.com.au/pd/Axinstone... Non amazon alternatives are available too!

Proof-listening Nataik's chapter in Impossible Magic for the audiobook - I would love the opportunity for an entire series about Nataik and Meadus, they were such a fun pair to write!

You think Gandalf ever came close to going apeshit on the hobbits? Like, imagine dealing with Astroblogrgoblarth the Vile, you go to buy some pipe weed to calm down, and the goddamn Sackville-Bagginses are falsely accusing you of stealing their turnips.

Hey y'know what I haven't promoted in a while? My Book! furplanet.com/shop/item.as... If you're looking for an introduction to the Korps, and a confined, tense story with superpowers, frighteningly hot cat women, and supervillainous self-discovery, Induction is for you

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

You have just over seven more days to pick up this bundle of 17 books for $17! Knowing yourself isn't easy. Sometimes figuring yourself out takes time. These are the own-voice stories about these moments of self-discovery! itch.io/b/3781/figur...

Last 3.5 days for this LGBTQIA/ neurodivergent/ disability book bundle on Figuring (those identities) Out. 🌈📚🧠📚🪐

Many of us had to figure out our own queer/ neurodivergent identities, and or how to manage our disability(s). I figured its time we had a book bundle in which characters do that, by authors on the same journey(s). So I organised this fantasy & multi-genre bundle. 🌈📚🧠📚🪐 itch.io/b/3781/figur...

"I am no man" (is a dog)

saw this earlier and it genuinely broke my heart i'm not AMAB for the record but every nonbinary person deserves to belong in queer spaces

Lots of talk about how people don’t pay attention to furry-made media. I’ve tried for 16 years or so to support and promote furry writing. There are things missing off these shelves but this is a huge chunk of what I have here. How many of these have you ever heard of, if you’re not a writer?

I never really feel like I'm passing too well, but more and more often people I've never interacted with before refer to me as a woman. So I guess I must be doing something right?

Heartwarming Monday morning moment: local gentleman proudly lets entire bus know he got a great deal on his new jumper! (The price label is still hanging off the back of his collar.)

Sexism is still very much around in the fandom and people need to be called out for it when it’s seen/heard. Woman and femme presenting people belong in the fandom and deserve to feel safe and accepted just like anyone else.

give me your hottest furry take

Jurassic Park really is such an incredible movie. The Brachiosaurus reveal is perfect in every way, especially the amazing acting from Sam Neill. The shock, the wonder, the vindication of all his theories.

The failing illusion moment in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves. I don't think anyone could contain their laughter.

Boner Vivant@dougtilley.bsky.social · last yr.

Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema? During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.

Trying to update both UK and Australian passports at the same time with name/gender changes and ow my head hurts.

The mages guild is in disarray. After the elusive relic thief steals a string of high-profile artifacts, guildmasters scramble to create the perfect thief ward before their reputation is left in tatters. Grab "Chasing Thieves" by @jfrcoates.bsky.social fenrispublishing.com/product.php?...

100%. Don’t let TERFs colonize the narrative here. Most studies show that lesbians are far more likely to be trans accepting than almost any other group. It’s just, as queer ppl, we’re more likely to be in proximity to a lesbian transphobe than a straight one.

A secret third thing@secretthirdthing.bsky.social · 3w ago

I rly need other trans women to stop accepting the lie that cis lesbians are in any sense uniquely transphobic. Literally cis lesbians support trans people more than other trans people do. Don't let your (very understandable) fears get in the way of having rly cool friends

Coming home status: it's not.

Aptophilia, noun: Attraction to the hypothetical utility or inconvenience (such as clumsiness) of unusual, nonhuman bodily traits. Often related to transformation. Sound like your thing? We have a whole anthology full of it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHPP2RZ5 www.tfpublishing.com.au/store/the-mo...

Proud to be part of another book bundle on itch! Many of us only figured out what our queer and or neurodivergent identities/labels/pronouns are later in life. Figuring It Out is an own voices bundle, featuring one or more identities that author and character share. itch.io/b/3781/figur...

While most people knew him for his movies lets not forget the incredible human Sam Neil was too

If you thought ragatha or gangle deserved more of the spotlight i think you should go and try and read the tons and tons and tons of books that already exist from this exact perspective like Girl on the Train, it Ends With Us, or hell even I'm Glad My Mom Died, which is probably the easiest analog

Absolute pain. Someone on the bus is playing one of those obnoxious gambling games at full volume. All the jingling and irritating music.
