Im rereading @kalansphantomff.bsky.social 's Fostering love and i forgot about this bit 🤣 a man after my own heart
Text from Fostering Love that reads "Fuckin' Star Wars, man? Really? Way more into Trek." "Then you have taste." Stede gives a little sniff.

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

The podfic of Nothing To Worry About by @oatmilktruther.bsky.social.

Stede still hasn't figured out that they're dating.

Sure, it's been almost two months, and Ed would like to be kissing him, but there's something else he wants first.

A big, dramatic, romcom confession. And he means to get it.
Podfic title card. A purple background with the outlines of various butterflies. In the middle is a yellow and pink cartoon rosy maple moth. Text reads Nothing To Worry About by oatmilktruther, podfic by happydaiz.

Happy Turkey Day. Gonna start this day on a bit of a high note. It's a good day for a reread of Winter Heat because there are two pieces of AMAZING artwork by @sweetpotato69.bsky.social now embedded in each chapter.

AU FREE TO GOOD HOME!
Was just reading about oviposition, as you do, and I found the most Ed-coded person who makes the Ovipositor.

Someone needs to make this into an AU.
The Ovipositor replicates the feeling of being impregnated with eggs. How did you get involved in all this stuff? I had tried everything else: I had owned a restaurant and managed many other businesses and had many successes. However, in all of my jobs I would work my way up to the top only to find a wall waiting for me there. I’m ambitious, and though I don’t consider myself greedy, I always wanted to push myself for more independence and freedom to do the things I wanted to do. And freedom is helping people insert eggs into themselves for sexual gratification? Let’s face it, there are three things that will always sell: Food, death, and sex. I tried food service and decided after managing three restaurants and owning one that it was the same thing, day in and day out, and it didn’t look like that was going to change much. Death didn’t really interest me. I wanted something more fun. Something that breaks the monotony of people’s days and makes them spit out their coffee when you tell them what you do.

The podfic of Free Dad Hugs by @duckistic.bsky.social.

Ed has seen hundreds of people fall to the warmth of his mother’s embrace by now.

Ed hasn’t seen much of his mom in the last fifteen minutes, though, because he’s been sort of kind of following a random guy through the Gayborhood Market

This is Scotchy. He is here to collect the belly rub toll. Would like to remind you that failing to pay results in a fine of even more belly rubs. 12/10 (TT: scotchythedoxie)

Speaking of childhood horror fests did anyone see The Christmas Toy? I used to watch this nightmare fuel several times a year and freaked me the fuck out every time
Think Toy Story with the main emphasis on the toys freezing (aka dying) if seen moving by a human
