My book is finally out!

I love these angsty, pining sapphics so much I can't contain it. I can't believe so many others feel the same way 💕🌈

A book cover with a night time forest, the partial moon shining in the background. Two women are depicted in a close half-embrace. One is tall and muscular with medium brown skin and a strong nose, with a wolf-print tattoo on her upper arm. Her hair is dark and up in a practical bun, and she’s wearing a leather breastplate piece of armour. She is holding the other woman who is pale skinned and has soft strawberry hair, and wears a pale dress with a leather jacket over the top. This woman is leaning into the taller one’s neck, with fanged teeth bared, as if to drink from her. Both regard each other with an intimate intensity and seem deeply affected by their proximity. The taller woman’s left hand, where it rests on the shorter one’s waist, is furry and clawed.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

Prague, 23 November 1911
Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie,
Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say.
But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism!
I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

✨NOVELLA 6 RELEASE DAY ✨

This book is my love letter to every funky episode with dangerous dreams and false realities. Buffy's Asylum ep, the attic episode of Dollhouse, the fracturing reality in She-Ra... all that good stuff.

A fantasy series with time for character deep dives? I got you.

book cover trope graphic.

A woman with pink skin, teal hair worn in thick braids, and golden horns on her head sits with one hand pressed to her face while the other performs magic in front of her. The magic is pink and forms a spiral in front of her hand. She is dressed in a pale and long-sleeved shirt under breastplate armour that bears a crest with a rose on it. Behind the woman is a wall with simple paintings of dark red, two of which look like moons, one crescent and one full.

The text reads: The Ruin Reveals, Catastrophe Incoming: Volume VI, Aimee Donnellan, "What is illusion, but altered perception?"

tropes read:
adhd rejection sensitivity
"it's a trap"
daddy issues get their own chapter
what ship? ALL OF THEM
buff gay grandma
bi panic in a crisis
fight your inner demons but they look like your ex

my incredible artist @tacticiankate.bsky.social has done it again with another gorgeous novella cover!

The Ruin Reveals is out THIS WEEKEND and is a love letter to so many different types of SFF and the wild episode concepts they can run with.

You want a trippy "dream" episode? I got you.

Go to their books and rate them! Itch does, in fact, have an algorithm and I hear it has a pretty heavy weight on five stars. Giving your fav some love might get them a new reader <3

If you're not yet familiar with itch.io, it's a site that queer indie authors are increasingly embracing because it's not hostile to our content & it pays a higher revenue share by default than other platforms.

And YOU get DRM-free ebook files that are yours for keeps, unlike on Amazon! Win-win. 🏳️‍🌈
