it’s so funny that shelved by genre is reading a comic called promethea, which is the superhero name i gave my masks pc’s mom in 2019. but due to alan moore’s whole block theory of time i think he actually stole it from me

finding out recently that almost all the words in the dictionary are not IP and are in fact open source/public domain was an absolute game changer for me as a writer

Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS!
ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near!

How did you celebrate anti-communism week?
Lining up at a food bank? Finding out you’d lose access to healthcare? Being unable to afford housing?

If the Dems will cave on this there is no right of yours that they will not throw away if it means they can go on vacation.

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Two things need to happen simultaneously:
1) A rapid mobilization and expansion of mutual aid networks to protect, feed, and care for each other
2) A tireless effort to elect progressive politicians looking to oust these fascists and their spineless enablers

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
