Ok I’m about to saying something controversial. If your trans art is just “trans” because it involves the colours from the trans flag, that’s nothing. That’s corny. I’m openly yawning

Have been exclusively referring to Wilmot's Warehouse as "the autism game" since I first heard abt it.

Finally bought it yesterday, and it sure is that. I think watching me play it is stressful for my partner

📖 You Weren't Meant to Be Human ny @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social 📖

Crane is a nonverbal trans man who becomes pregnant and is forced against his will to carry the pregnancy and give birth.

Very dark, genuinely nauseating in places, and holy shit I looooved Crane's characterization!!

My educational comics are always available for free download. ariganahl.itch.io 💥

With internet censorship so rampant lately, I've been focusing on selling my trans smut comics in person as much as I can. Really, really honored and excited to share that these comics are now in stock at @goblinmkt.bsky.social and at Early to Bed!!

I have been keeping myself together through the most unbelievable month of my life and I just found out Alice Wong is dead. Is this going to be what pushes me over the edge into having a public breakdown

the fact that doing this gets rid of the default separate inboxes is fucking infuriating

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Why the Fuck are we saying literally ANYTHING positive about Sarah McBride on fucking Trans Day of Remembrance? She's literally been trying to sell us all out from day one from the fucking bathroom bullshit to blaming trans activists for transphobia

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I literally don't know his name" Selphie: "haha wow cool" Zell: "good to have you on the team" Squall: "(someone say his name)" 2 Irvine: "Auuhh god what was I thinking, I can't do it" Squall: "Hey...c'mon, now." Squall: "I bet you can kill a sorceress with a gun if you really try." Irvine: "you're just saying that" Squall: "(Well what the fuck else do you want me to do)"

It’s Sickos season! 🩷🖤 This bundle from 25 creators includes my Kinktober 2025 sketchbook but that’s just the tip [of the iceberg]; for $25 you get over 1200 pages of art, comics & prose & support all of us directly.

(It’s also creeping toward its first stretch goal! 👀)
