This is my story for this round. I know it looks like it’d be triggering to someone with religious trauma, but it is in fact meant to be the opposite.

There’s no mopey mood so profound that the I Saw the TV Glow soundtrack can’t make it profounder.

This is my story from this SSBB round, in which I am once again using my knowledge of gay ‘80s Texan history for evil. …And if you read it and you like it, it’d be real great if you could tell me that.

Friends! It's time for another SSBB issue! This one's largely cowboy-themed - though some stories (mine included!) play fast and loose with it. Please do us a favor and share the main post! Help us get the word out!

They just opened a cowardly short 14-day public comment period. Make your voices heard. PLEASE. Link Below 🔗👇🏽 eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

I literally woke up having the thought ‘maybe if you wrote things people wanted to read more people would read them’ so I’m excited to see how my self-esteem negotiates the rest of today.

This is my story for the June SSBB issue. Please enjoy a tale of the worst people ever who are also exes.

My story! In which I unleash an enormous amount of my frustration about censorship, purity culture, and think-of-the-children-style sanitizing of media. And also I think it wound up being pretty funny.

re: The Red Blossom Blades [final edits], by shukyou Dear Edward, I received your latest round of edits with great interest. Astonishing interest. https://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/re-the-red-blossom-blades-final-edits/

New issue! I’d been planning a Big Meaningful Story, but it wasn’t working, so I scrapped it and banged out in under a week the nonsense you find first in the lineup here.
