I'm launching my newsletter late summer/early fall [ theozukowski.beehiiv.com ] It's still under construction, though. I'm also on ao3 [ archiveofourown.org/users/theoph... ] if you're interested in mostly Dragon age Fanfic, and also the upcoming kinktober & nonconvember. #QueerWritersChat

Hmm, I love some katabasis — in the classical 'journey to the underworld' sense. Especially when that underworld is a realm of the fae. Also a big fan of the deconstructed chosen one trope. #QueerWritersChat
#QueerWritersChat Question Four: What are some of your favorite themes in fantasy? Last question at :45! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #fantasy #fantasywriting
Very much. It's probably my favorite genre, especially when it's combined with others. I love reading fantasy almost as much as I love writing it. #QueerWritersChat
#QueerWritersChat Question Three: QueerWritersChat Do you write or otherwise enjoy the fantasy genre? Next question at :35! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #fantasy
Magic, in a word. The idea that what we imagine, our deepest, and sometimes darkest thoughts, can be real. #QueerWritersChat
#QueerWritersChat Question Two: What does the word fantasy bring to mind for you? Next question at :25! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #fantasy
Hello #QueerWritersChat! I'm Theo, transmasc author of speculative erotica & romance. I'm working on... something. Writing is happening. Kind of. I just seem to be bouncing between projects more than usual, lately.
Welcome to #QueerWritersChat! Let’s start by settling in! Introduce yourself and tell us what you're working on! No links, please! We’re saving those for the end. Next question at :15! @amaralynn.bsky.social #QueerWriters #writesky #writers #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters
The federal government is protecting the AI child porn apps and Google goes after someone wearing cat ears whispering into a mic while eating cereal
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
I think for some people it is more comforting to believe that there is a vast conspiracy to hide the truth than that sometimes the best scientists in the world sometimes don’t know what’s happening
This is it, the entire conspiracy: In early 2020, Fauci and a bunch of scientists thought the virus could be engineered. Then they did more research and found that it didn't show any evidence of that. Nothing we've learned since has overturned this finding.
El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"
you have to outlive rowling her grave isn't going to piss on itself
there literally are no good-faith concerns about trans girls participating in high school sports. it is children playing games with their friends, its about confidence and relationship-building. let kids play with their friends.
Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.
what the fuck do you mean "everyone is using AI and nobody admits it." what the fuck do you mean. who are you talking to. you have allowed a demon to devour your soul. begone
Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
this did numbers on tumblr and i feel it here a lot
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

This is circulating again a bit. hooks gets in trouble for her spicy takes, but there WAS no spicier take in 2004 than “Harry Potter sucks and is bad for children’s literacy,” and she was exactly right.
I feel like the epitome of Good Feminist Criticism was probably bell hooks nailing J.K. Rowling to the wall in 2004
This and then you spend the next two decades panicking about why you can’t hold down a 9-5 like everyone else
Get in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...
Secret paid influencer campaign backing Stevens floods Michigan Senate race
Rep. Haley Stevens and the Senate Democratic PAC said they were not involved in the effort to pay for user-generated content endorsing her.

The thing about AI is that it’s not taking our jobs, it’s taking our funding for the arts, our land, our resources & our infrastructure.
There is no point in having consciousness if we are to mechanically adhere to our expected roles. We owe it to ourselves to be weird to distinguish ourselves from the machines that the world and capitalism demands we be.
