and for the Dorley readers may i just mention the GALL of calling dorley "transfem cult hit The Sisters of Dorley" that's fucking beautiful talia

The Verge @theverge.com · 5h

From @taliabhatt.itch.io: "In the face of these institutional barriers, online communities of trans women have turned to a powerful workaround: self-publishing."

Trans women are building their own publishing world, and it’s under threat

Online communities are stepping in where traditional publishing stops.

"Debate is a way to find truth" is the worst, most wrongest lesson I learned in 2000s era internet forums and some motherfuckers never caught on and just kept going with it.

And I'm saying this as the person who would usually win. Being a better, funnier bully didn't make me right.

of all the dumb shit that sucks these days, the dumbest and pettiest shit that sucks is the way people fetishize debate. i would like to revert to the old roughly agreed-upon cultural understanding that debate club is for boring friendless nerds

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

I think Hades 1 worked well by being just. A story about this fucked up family thats built of elements you know super well. But that world does not really stand up to scrutiny, and REALLY does not translate to a grander scale of plot

God i just finished book 3 of dorley and its simply. Phenomenal. The way this book tied together rachel and diana's arcs to attack the ethics of dorley from the complete opposite direction of the hall's residents' arguments while showing those arguments in parallel with diana... Art

princess of the underworld

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

blame us for not voting for the Correct People, since if we simply had voted, none of this would have happened

most of the Correct People will be the people currently attempting to exterminate us, a fact that media will not care about or acknowledge

supergiant really nailed the relationship between melinoe and eris in hades 2 because every interaction i think to myself "i need her so bad it makes me look stupid", something she herself says to mel. perfect character no notes
