Very good thread! It reminds me once more of the time the main venue where I post my fiction had a collective panic that it was misogynistic and homophobic because there were too many lesbian protagonists being written and not enough gay men relative to ao3.
Cirice Gray @House of the Underworld out now!@ciricegray.itch.io · last wk.I want to preface this thread with a little bit about me. I read a ton of M/M when I was young. I grew up reading M/M books from authors like Anne Rice and Mercedes Lackey. So I am not a stranger to enjoying M/M, even though I now almost exclusively focus on books that center W/W romance.

Yume Mita has more or less improved on itself with every episode. Really enjoying it now that it's found its dramatic footing and also holy shit Viola. The downside of that being that the first episodes were pretty much nothing tbh.
People will talk about loving yuri stories that feel “nice and warm and beautiful” and then their pf pics are the bpd band girls and Otherside Picnic.
Fae 🏳️⚧️@raidengay.bsky.social · 2w agoHe is a real one frfr, people were looking up his wechat and other profiles and they go hard.
Today I made the ill-advised decision to search my books in a few author discords I lurk in and holy shit people are talking about my work this week. It’s legitimately hard to put into words how much that means.
@science.org warns against AI slop in research: “authentic research and validated findings will slow down to an expensive trickle into established knowledge, and the opportunities for flawed or fabricated information to be seen as reality will grow” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I have until the end of the summer to get on my feet and take control of my life, so I'm asking for help to try and ensure I have a safety net and can avoid being homeless. www.gofundme.com/f/help-morga...
There’s a certain kind of person that wants to be your friend but only insofar as you overwhelmingly share their tastes, opinions, etc. This is pretty normal mean girl shit ofc. Being marginalized can intensify this dynamic in really unhealthy ways that make it get very infantilizing very quickly.
Hi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/

Not sure if i will actually love the series sharing this season; but seasonal anime atm is shockingly pretty across the board.
BOOK REVIEW! “Bloodstained Porcelain” by @kurantatallulah.bsky.social, cover by @windygria.art I bought a ton of books for Pride this year. I'll read and review them ALL. Would you like to read a beautiful exploration of trans joy and trans rage that is also a sweet, slow burn sapphic romance?

Two years ago, @devi.bsky.social and I published The Hades Calculus. To mark its second anniversary, we're discounting the book by 70%--just $2.09! Enter the world of cannibalistic lesbians, giant mecha, Greek gods and the giant monsters that besiege them. No monstrosity or cruelty is too far to win

Having just devoured (heh) this book and its sequel, I just wanna toss out that full price is MORE than fair for the good times had. $2.09 is a ghat-dang steal.

I believe that we should all have the right to change sex, freedom from discrimination for changing sex, and access to the means of changing sex socially, bodily, and legally, without being subject to pathologizing regulatory regimes enforcing patriarchal law and mandatory heterosexuality.
Very good thread in response to a cis dude being profoundly silly.
it's Lazzie B! once again!! 😱@lazzieb.bsky.social · last mo.I'm not 100%, but I think there's two problems with this: -GCism isn't grassroots. It's pretty clearly been dark money boosted. -I sincerely don't believe their infrastructure would function for anything pro-social. The vector of their 'peaking' worked because of the content, which was hate.
The time a reviewer thought that my trans lesbian magical novel was catholic propaganda.
S R Jones @aegisimmemorial.bsky.social · last mo.If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
I really should have moved on when it became clear they were just an antifeminist, not a confused queer tumblr type; but it really is remarkable how much the “all biology agrees with me,” crowd is dying to prove they never went past high school biology.
Sex is both mutable and socially constructed. Trans people change sex. This change comes in a wide variety of forms, social, medical, legal, etc. Trans liberation hinges on the rights to enact and shape these changes, and protections against discrimination for doing so.
I must confess, even with the whole genocide investigation plot in the Exceeds manga, this first episode of Nanoha had a lot more cannibalism than I would anticipate for this franchise.
dear yoko taro please make shinji a trans girl kthxbye
