Just picture it, me carrying a dog under each arm, to the tune of "Poor Unfortunate Souls":
This one longs to eat bunny poop.
That one wants to chase a squirrel.
Do I stop them?
Yes, I do.

Can we please adress the fact that snow leopards have questionable relationship with gravity? They can jump on the length of 50 feet (we are so bloody lucky that they are not agressive towards humans).
Where are you, dude, on a dance floor?
And they can stand?? Like people???
Why so cute and absurde?

can't stop thinking about how the "convinced to return for one last job" trope is a kind of resurrection. digging up a restless corpse that maybe should have stayed buried.

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.
- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.
- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.
- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.
That's love. 🐈⬛🐈❤️

Kara, what are your Reanimator Mysteries books about?
How being undead is a metaphor for chronic illness and how so often we fight against those changes, how society treats us as less than human, and the way we have to rely heavily on the people we love to survive and thrive.

I think art should be used as an outlet for our expression of the soul, whether it be sexuality, identity, trauma, or just self indulgence. I find art that embraces any emotion of the self to be beautiful. this includes art of your fursona or ocs, or characters you love or vent art, all important.

On sock puppets, pen names and Freydis Moon
First, lets talk about the difference between a pen name and a sock puppet becauese lots of authors use pen names. This includes me.
I use two names- Uncle Vlad is for my games and erotic short stories on itch. I do not intend to take this name off of itch or Tumblr. I will publish Sword of the Voivode under T.G. Joye. This is mostly because my legal name is used by several entities to publish other work already, and I don't want to be mixed up with unrelated works that are not my own.
Sock puppets are almost exclusively online handles used to harass and manipulate people. Freydis used both- sock puppet accounts often tended to also be pen names for other styles of writing.
While neither of these things is a crime per se, some of those alternate personas engaged in digital brown face. While also not a crime per se, it is in very poor taste.
Here's where things get absolutely FUCKED-
Freydis is an award winning latinex author who is; by all accounts, not a latinex person. Freydis also engaged heavily in multiple forms of bullying, which I have been on the recieving end myself. This bullying largely targeted minorities who are underrepresented in fiction- allowing Freydis to boost themselves as a supposedly marginalized author as they harrassed many trans, non binary, and people of color out of publishing own ownvoices work.
I've seen the effects of Freydis's predatory behavior first hand on transmasculine writers- many were afraid to leave their sphere of influence after becoming attached to Freydis, in spite of the bad behavior. Many more were harrassed off of various platforms- like Discord and Twitter- cutting them off from a small but tight knit community.
I am one of those people who was harassed off of Twitter, and have not made any inroads into the digital writing community b/c I feared backlash from Freydis. I've spent the last two years trying to figure out what I was going to do once I released Sword of the Voivode. While not erotica, I still felt fear to publish on Amazon due to Freydis's past harassment. It is a miracle the book has come this far in the process and I will be publishing it later this year.
Many, many more people were manipulated into believing Freydis with an unwavering, cult-like fervor, making it impossible to even have a conversation about years of abuse and manipulation going on behind the scenes.
The Takeaway-
We need to be better to one another, both by being more supportive of those within our own communities and by questioning our loyalty to any one person. We talk about believing victims, but never in the context of bullying and I think that has to change here and now.
We also need to boost each other like there's no tomorrow. Many ownvoices works have been left languishing in obscurity because Freydis took up so much space in multiple minority communties. Boost those books you felt unsafe to do so before. Boost your own. We need to lift each other up and engage with one another more readily to really undo the hurt done to us.
Be safe, and be kind to one another,
-Your Uncle Vlad.

Here is the thread of all the evidence. Fredys Moon acted under ten eleven different personas to harass other writers (chasing DN Bryn off their socials and hurting their career), to land four agents under four different names, while pretending to be Latinx and accusing anyone speaking against her to be racist.
Unbelievable.

People who make fun of others for being "cringe" are hilarious to me.
I'm over here jazzed about dinosaurs, moth plushies, and tie dye pants while you're getting your self-esteem from making fun of people who embrace small joys.
That is the loseriest of loser behavior.
#cringe#mean people#yo soy cringe#cringe but free#also autistic#ableism is often mixed up in there too but#that's for another post

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week!
Note, these feature sapphic romance. I have not read all of them, so I cannot confirm if all main characters are lesbian versus bi or pan etc.
