I don't know what tenth circle of hell my YouTube algorithm fell into, but I really wish it would stop showing me videos of 5 a.m. morning writing routines.

The Pale Queen is a queer dark fantasy graphic novel. It will be on shelves this June, you can support the book by reserving your copy now wherever you get books!

“Frances and I were considering attending a Lesbian/Feminist conference this summer, when we were notified that no boys over ten were allowed. This presented logistic as well as philosophical problems for us, and we sent the following letter: Sisters: Ten years as an interracial lesbian couple has taught us both the dangers of an oversimplified approach to the nature and solutions of any oppression, as well as the danger inherent in an incomplete vision. Our thirteen-year-old son represents as much hope for our future world as does our fifteen-year-old daughter, and we are not willing to abandon him to the killing streets of New York City while we journey west to help form a Lesbian-Feminist vision of the future world in which we can all survive and flourish.”

— Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: “Man Child: A Black Lesbian Feminist’s Response." (This essay in particular was apparently first published in 19-fucking-79, which is how long this conversation's been going on.)

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

I love pop rocks, can I have some more [x]

All throughout childhood, while my peers were socializing and making friends, I studied the blade read so many books that I am now almost legally blind, which left me with vast and deeply instinctual understanding of English grammar - and next to no ability to explain how it actually works. Friends will often ask me to proofread their writing and then get very mad when I say things like, "You need to completely reverse this sentence and cut this clause entirely; no, I'm sorry, i don't know why, I just know that the way it is now ITCHES 😭"

Now, what I want to see is a fantasy story where this plays out with MAGICAL grammar. Someone from a backwater town deeply steeped in folk magic arrives at Wizard Uni where all their fellow students are like "What do you mean, we should add another '𝞯∘⋇𝞿' to the incancation because it 'sounds better'? What do you mean, 'it could just be a regional thing'?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'THIS SPELL JUST FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A LIVE RAT'????"

So long, space cowboy

Adding my little sibling on discord was the best decision of my life

legitimately so scary that i just made a doctors appointment for 2025. you mean the far distant sci fi future 2025? you mean the pacific rim 2025? you mean i have to go to the doctor while giant robots are fighting the fucking kaiju? fuck all the way offfffffff

dungeon meshi & steven universe are in no way a 1:1 and greg and shuro aren’t alike at all but can you imagine for a second if marcille was in pearl’s shoes. if falin sacrificed herself to have a baby with SHURO out of nowhere. the things she would do….. she’d be in western elf jail for the rest of her sad gay life

Sad that the latest episode didn't include this absolutely fucking haunting panel background:

First time I saw this i physically sat back in my chair and folded my hands like "HMM. Ok. Ok okokokok. What did you mean by that. Ryoko Kui come here for a fucking second, what do you mean by that"

Christ, maybe im just a little drunk, but sometimes I love art so fucking much I could scream. And not just the end product, the shiny stuff, but all the tiny little pieces that come together to make the final thing. I love soundtrack composers and musicians and mixers and colorists and editors and screenwriters and cinematographers and actors and directors and costumers and set designers and sewists and weavers and knitters and spinners and potters and painters and poets and writers and typesetters and book-binders and book-jacket designers and graphic novelists and webcomic artists and fanartists and fanfiction writers and playwrights and performers and live-action role-players and and and. every day i mourn all the art i'll never have time to see or hear or read, and all the art I'll never have time to make, and every day im haunted by the thought that i may never make anything as good or worthy or meaningful as the things I love, or as good as the last thing I made, or as good as the initial dream of the thing was in my brain, but goddamnit, I will go insane if I do not try
