Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Today I learned about Gerhard Munthe, who, in the early 20th century, designed some extremely Atari-looking tapestries with titles like "Blood Tower"

I have a very small achievable goal, all money goes towards renting locations, special effects make up and gore, gas and food for everyone on set on any given day

The teaser trailer for By Time You See Me There Will Be Nothing Left, my directorial debut about a messy t4t serial killer couple, being a mentally ill cripple, and living in California in 2025, it’s a very depressing fucked up little movie and I can’t wait to show to yall (kickstarter below)

The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.com · 1d

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

I'm making French toast, the windows are open letting in a lovely breeze, and the coffee tastes exceptionally good to me rn. Slept in a bit because I don't need to drop packages at the post office today

I'm someone who is frequently adding attribution to unsourced images, art, etc online, so I'm going to gently push back on this notion because I think it contributes to the sloppification of online. Saving everyone a click: letterboxd.com/film/go-naga...

This is in one week :) free and virtual!

Lilac Peril Press @lilacperil.bsky.social · 3d

The workshop is virtual and free and that means 🫵YOU🫵 can attend www.eventbrite.com/e/trans-writ...

workshop topic
HOW TO "KILL LIES:"
WRITING AGAINST
RECEIVED LANGUAGE
Nico Walker, the infamous bankrobber-turned-novelist,
once wrote in BookForum, "Any writer worth a fuck should be in the business of killing lies." This generative writing workshop will consider the clichés, disinformation, and reductive language that plague minority writers specifically and employ them as writing prompts. We will begin by looking at some remarkable lie-killers across identity groups and history (potential writers include Torrey Peters, Andrea Long Chu, Imogen Binnie, Kay Gabriel, Leslie Feinberg, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Ralph Ellison, Claudia Rankine, Danez Smith, Charles Yu, Mosab Abu Toha, and Nafissa Thompson-Spires) and finish with a writing exercise in which we, as trans artists, write directly against and past the language wrongly applied
to us.

In other news I opened a 22 page bit of fiction that I'd started a while ago, didn't hate what I'd written, so started picking at it a bit more. I still have some erotica stories that I wrote a while back and never did anything with. Maybe I should clean them up and put them somewhere.

It's grim as hell!

Dobes @dobescrusher.bsky.social · 3d

Being back on tumblr has mostly been fun, I'm using the space to share art, interesting things I find, some movie screencaps when I can be bothered. But the amount of AI stuff that passes under people's radars is frustrating and disturbing. I don't know how we're going to reckon with it!

We were looking at old photos of halloween costumes on ebay (seems there's a bit of a market for vintage photos, and photo albums inevitably end up dumped or donated) and saw lots of shops selling print on demand gen AI slop as if they were real photos.
