the actually salient lesbian cultural dichotomy (not trans vs cis or tenderqueer vs dirtbag or radical vs homonationalist) is “wears deodorant vs enjoys life”

i should get around to publishing my little guromech RPG. playtesters have started referring to it as “mechsploitation”, a genre that didn’t exist back when i designed it (seems really cool though!), & i feel like i’m missing the moment. i’m usually good at finishing projects, but games are hard

listen, I've read QUIET HOURS and it is SO GOOD, so I need you to go fund the stretch goal for this Have you ever had a bad roommate? what if the nasty tenderqueer and the abusive muscle mommy lesbian weren't the worst thing waiting for you in this incredibly incisive queer co-op housing horror?

Yesss @neonhemlock.bsky.social met its initial funding goal for the novella series! Another 2k and you’ll get my novella. You want to feel really uncomfortable about roommate dynamics, right? You want to process your pre 2024 election feelings, right? Well: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

as someone who never experienced the feeling called “relaxation” for 3+ decades and now sometimes does, i keep having these dumb moments where i’m like “huh, it’s weird that food can taste really good” or “wow, people are so nice to me…” every good thing in my life feels like this pic

screenshotted because i don't mean to argue with kind, beleaguered editors. but: i disagree with this perspective! is it hypocritical to use a knife for cutting vegetables if you also oppose stabbings? using a tool to scam people and using a similar tool to prevent scams are totally different things

every time i see an old guy in a polo with rly hard nipples i ask if he’s like that youtuber who calluses his hands with “dog medicine” but it always turns out his nipples are hard for typical normal guy reasons

i really need you all to know that the director of the new Ben Shapiro Daily Wire movie about woke Islamists once wrote, directed, and starred in a forcefem humiliation movie in which he plays a callow, desperate young filmmaker forced to wear effeminate earrings by giantess Ray Wise

Letterboxd screenshot of the page for a movie called Pennyweight. the synopsis reads: “Blaine Kinney, an aspiring young filmmaker, approaches an eccentric and extremely wealthy businessman, Fentworth Pennyweight III, for help in financing his first film. To his surprise, Mr. Pennyweight agrees to fund the entire movie with one small stipulation: Blaine must wear a ridiculously large and effeminate pair of earrings for exactly one year. Desperate for money, he agrees to the deal.”poster for the movie “Pennyweight”, in which a shocked man wearing big colorful floral earrings clutches a briefcase while being sensually squeezed by the gigantic hand of actor Ray Wise

So this is Jonathan Majors' comeback role -- a Daily Wire film about radical Islamic terrorists hijacking "a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels," and the "red-blooded students" who fight back. pagesix.com/2026/06/25/h...

The actual title is “Run Hide Fight: Infidels,” marking a second outing in the fledgling franchise. And if you think said “infidels” are the cheating types, think again. We can reveal the real logline, and it’s certain to spark conversation… and backlash: “When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels in a makeshift caliphate, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears, and a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers and keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.” (Majors plays the Delta Force vet.)
The film’s trailer (you can watch it here) — obtained exclusively by Page Six Hollywood — will most definitely provoke strong reactions amid the current culture wars and heated divisions within the left and right over Israel-Gaza and the Iran conflict.

if i had a nickel for every time a beautiful woman showed up to a party at my house and then i found out that she’s a top 100 internationally ranked smash player i’d have like 5 nickels, which.. kinda breaks the format of the joke. that’s like almost enough to buy something

caught a mosquito drinking gallons of blood from the tiny post-surgery numb spot on the top of my head. you know what, feel free. if it can't itch it might as well be a public fountain

the other day i danced so fast that it really stressed out 2 of my friends. like they got genuinely overstimulated by my cool rapid moves and asked me to stop immediately. i can slow down a lil.. but i gotta dance!!!

in the same vein i beg you not to waver when transphobes pretend to forget what (sex) "change" means. if i say "oh, you changed your hair!" nobody on earth acts like i'm claiming you've replaced every atom of keratin with a novel substance. people know how words work when they're not being cruel

P A L I M R Y A 𓃏@wyrm.ing · 2y ago

idk why we forfeited "born in the wrong body" just bc transphobes willfully misconstrued it as a metaphysical claim. if u don't play dumb it's clearly a stance-contingent normative or emotive claim, like "going to college was the wrong decision" or "this stanza's wrong, needs revising"

the neurologist says i have to wear this cute beacon while i sleep. it smells like niacinimide & cigarettes, i guess to encourage me to dream of beautiful women. or maybe because they forgot to wash it

the four sex scenes i’ve ever written: • iambic verse about recreational progesterone use • really just murder • tongue acid burn child orgy 🥴 • bf’s dick snaps in half because the protagonist has an intrusive sense memory of being a pig on a factory farm (excerpt from this one, a WIP horror piece)

[…] second, and the lubey slurp of foreskin on waxed thigh has you brace for footing as some pig's clumsy broken leg in your mind shittens your tail. You buck as your boyfriend slides himself back in, and his dick pops when it breaks like every hard thing does. He squeals and squeals.

When he gets back from the ER you're in the bathroom with water on for noise, but your skin's too wrecked from showering to shower. In the morning he watches your kid's procedurally personalized pony cartoon over your shoulder while you eat what you eat. Um. How exactly are we going to get out of this stupid place, the sassy one says.
Your kid's synthesized pony voice says something smart about love or working together while your real kid laughs.

You start sleeping on the couch.

the single happiest memory i have of being a boy is of watching Jackass with my guy friends in middle school. it cast some kind of spell on us. filled us with a benevolent brotherly disinhibition i’ve otherwise only heard about in like,, the lord of the rings lmao

Rusty Shackleman@rustyshackleman.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Thinking about an interview John Waters gave where he saw Jackass 2 and went "oh my God, they're doing the type of stuff I've always wanted to do onscreen but they've tricked straight people into watching it" and Knoxville later responded "that was 100% intentional"

this book has made me cry more times per word than like anything else i’ve read since i was a kid. calvino’s ability to pace image and meaning into perfect lamination is fucking crazy. it’s so simple!!! it does so much!!!

photo of a spread from the Italo Calvino book Invisible Cities that reads:

Hidden Cities 2

In Raissa, life is not happy. People wring their hands as they walk in the streets, curse the crying children, lean on the railings over the river and press their fists to their temples. In the morning you wake from one bad dream and another begins. At the workbenches where, every moment, you hit your finger with a hammer or prick it with a needle, or over the columns of figures all awry in the ledgers of merchants and bankers, or at the rows of empty glasses on the zinc counters of the wineshops, the bent heads at least conceal the general grim gaze. Inside the houses it is worse, and you do not have to enter to lear this: in the summer the windows resound with quarrels and broken dishes.

And yet, in Raissa, at every moment there is a child in a window who laughs seeing a dog that has jumped on a shed to bite into a piece of polenta dropped by a stonemason who has shouted from the top of the scaffolding,
"Darling, let me dip into it," to a young serving-maid who holds up a dish of ragout under the pergola, happy to serve it to the umbrella-maker who is celebrating a successful trans-action, a white lace parasol bought to display at the races by a great lady in love with an officer who has smiled at her taking the last jump, happy man, and still happier his horse, flying over the obscacles, seeing a francolin flying in the sky, happy bird freed from its cage by a painter happy at having painted it feather by feather, speckled with red and yellow in the illumination of that page in the volume where the philosopher says: "Also in Raissa, city of sadness, there runs an invisible thread that binds one living being to another for a moment, then unravels, then is stretched again between moving points as it draws new and rapid patterns so that at every second the unhappy city contains a happy city unaware of its own existence."

suddenly remembering that i gave myself an industrial effluent fetish while writing this. reading now about metalliferous fluid sampling, wishing some of these beautiful ecological-perversion-adapted single-celled freaks would pound my osmotically vulnerable prostate

screenshot from Wikipedia which reads: “A protozoan species, Euglena mutabilis, was found to reside in the pit by Andrea A. Stierle and Donald B. Stierle, and the protozoans have been found to have adapted to the harsh conditions of the water. Intense competition for the limited resources caused these species to evolve the production of highly toxic compounds to improve survivability. Natural products such as berkeleydione, berkeleytrione, [18] and berkelic acid [19] have been isolated from these organisms which show selective activity against cancer cell lines. Some of these species ingest metals and are being investigated as an alternative means of cleaning the water.[20]”

just made the mistake of smiling pleasantly at a neighbor (it’s a beautiful day!), who then called me sexy, clocked me, trans panicked, and threatened to put a bullet in my head if he ever sees me again. bizarrely also accused me of being in the KKK, a uniquely massachusettsan woke bigotry inflexion

i thought i was the only one!! i would never want to discourage anyone who loves writing about cannibalism, but in practice it often feels to me like the burlesque of ero guro — an aesthetic gesture toward ugly passion without any (sorry) teeth

i'm at odds with many lovely peers for saying this but cannibalism is almost never as sexy, moving, and/or transgressive as promised. it so rarely does it for me

some people worry about labor shortages. but every april fool’s day me and the other pro tumblers, jesters, and mummers, well, heh, let’s just say we sit back and share a few beers. a wise glance or two. maybe a handjob. we know that, come tomorrow, this grim old world will have need of us once more
