Me every time I think about Sebastian Black Butler:

Hello Sunshine is a horror mystery GN about a boy who comes back from bible camp to find out that his secret boyfriend, Alex, is missing after a very public mental breakdown. #comics Available now!! www.thenovl.com/titles/keezy...

This woman was beaten by a mob for *standing outside of a woman's bathroom* in Louisiana, not even going in, and they've literally just fabricated several charges against her and her partner anyway to justify abusing them further. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/a-mo... On the up side...

A mob viciously beat a trans couple. Now the couple is facing prison time. - LGBTQ Nation

Police criminally charged Shae Sanders and Aurora Rush, who were both injured in the cruel attack.

Having an interesting experience playing Alien: Isolation. I’ve played it before and it’s one of my fave horror games, but until recently I’ve been dealing with something extremely difficult IRL, and I’ve sometimes only been able to manage accomplishing 1 task ad save before turning the game off.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

Without naming names, this is absolutely happening with J>E locs, even and especially from devs/pubs that used to have a rock solid reputation. A lot of companies are bleeding talent, both in-house and freelance, as they either leave for what few green pastures remain or quit the field entirely.

Already noticed some AAA games from the last few years slipping in quality due to the attack on labourers by the wealthy class and uh... I think gamers need to know it's gonna keep deteriorating in small ways, not a big bang Games will still drop for a while, but they'll be quietly worse

And it's gonna be because the institutional memory got obliterated in layoffs, senior skills demolished, team synergy/morale wrecked while Money Guys were pivoting + derailing entire studios to squeeze more $$$ It's gonna be cause of the human cost. Don't blame the wounded when you start to feel it

Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.

Can’t have full-caf coffee, but it turns out playing a little Alien: Isolation in the morning is just as good.

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

really good thread. vet your mods please, not just as a contributor but also as a buyer. if you don't see any clear info on the mods or notice some red flags with regard their experience, save yourself the grief and spend your hard-earned money elsewhere

I'm actually going to use this as a jumping-off point for a more general thread on zines. I think a lot of us writers and artists see a zine application as one-way evaluation, where the mods judge our work & decide if we're a fit for the project. But the evaluation needs to go both ways. (1/?)

and then shoot that over to accessibility @ f l a m e c o n . o r g (remove spaces) before the end of month (AUG 1) don't gotta be in/from nyc! people travel from all over for this convention, and it's a beloved space for a lot of us veteran attendees feel free to discord me with qs if you need

if u have 5-10min today, here's the deal: fl4mec0n (nyc queer con) dropped masking req this year, despite past commitment to accessibility. this is the only con many medically vulnerable nyc folks attend, bc they've been effectively locked out of events that refuse to do anything about covid risk

probably one of the funniest tiktoks of all time

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth

Leeds is now the subject of a major inquiry into maternity. I previously reported on its decade long pursuit of 'normal birth' ideology that saw it have the lowest number of caesareans while stillbirths and baby deaths soared to the worst nationally www.thetimes.com/article/f3af...

thinking about ferdibert going to the opera.. sigh

Slams that ask meme button.

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

one of the most frustrating things about what Rowling has turned into is how hard it is to explain to offline people that she’s not just another author who has turned out to have shitty views - her entire life and fortune is dedicated to destroying trans people

Projection so powerful, you could screen the Odyssey in 70MM IMAX from it.

i felt like i'd kind of felt all the sadness i had it in me to feel at DA being dead but "it's SO dead it's never even going to get a soulless cashgrab rerelease because they've fired everyone who could have known how to make one" is worse than i'd resigned myself to

All right! Have now sent out the last of several important applications. Send good vibes

the ao3 tradition where they release the top 100 ships of the year with gender and race data and have extremely mean battles over whose fanfic is the most ethical is one of my favourite traditions on the internet

Why is it an insult to call some place a “one-horse town?” They’re doing okay. They’ve got a horse

please dimitri needs help so bad someone give him a kissy and a churu

Decided to make a new thread because the other one was getting too long and I think this is important: What this also means is that the localization of the TWST game, manga, novels, as anime is probably all handled by not only different teams but completely different companies.

Unrivalling @ Highway to Grell@unrivalling.bsky.social · last wk.

1) super excited about TWST anime S2, 2) I’m seeing a new round of localization discussion that, unfortunately, gets muddled by a lack of understanding how licensing deals tend to work and just how many corporate entities are involved.

Representation breakdown for REAL HERO SHIT: - 3 of 4 main characters are queer - 2 of 4 are trans - 3 of 4 are a little slutty - 1 of 4 has huge titties - 3 of 4 are anti-monarchy - 1 of 4 IS the monarchy but is accidentally dismantling it by being a huge dumbass
