I think its genuinely very funny a lot of bad-faith media takes online will take a gag completely out of context and rage bait people by pretending it's supposed to be dead serious. It's watching people being mad Bugs Bunny didn't die from a piano falling on him, and that's funnier than the piano.

A square separated into 4 uneven triangles - purple, yellow, red and blue, like the map of Oz. In these triangles are two silhouetted witches (Glinda and Locasta) as well as two images of the Wicked Witches of the South and East dying.

With all this talk of Wicked Witches and their deaths, no one asks "What happens *after* that?"

For a glimpse into the political landscape of Oz Pre and Post-Dorothy, go read my in-universe article on the Cardinal Witches from earlier this year!

Queen Ozma in a dress decorated with the colours or the trans flag (because this series is incredibly subtle) floats ominously in a pink, aetheric bubble.

If you want a version of Oz continuity where Ozma is textually unambiguously trans then... Read Yellow Brick Ramble instead, that series handles the topic way better than I ever could.

But if you want *another* one, then the #925Universe has you covered!

Hey, #AMA about comics, art, #DoctorWho, etc.

I'm in incredible amounts of pain and incredible amounts of painkillers, so it's balancing out right now.

JAMES WYLDER'S RPG COMMISSIONS FOR MEDICAL COSTS โ€‹I'm James Wylder, a writer from Indiana, and I'm a huge fan of tabletop roleplaying games. During the last year my partner and I have suffered a number of serious crises involving our health....

I've been swamped with taking on the Cwej30th Anniversary celebrations, which has been an amazing job, but we're nearing the end of the year, and we could use a little push to get us through the bills we have from medical costs creeping up on us.

A cropped version of the illustration for Kate Orman's new Faction Paradox prose vignette Great Pearl Girl. It is a black-and-white image depicting a four-headed ram-god similar to Banebdjedet, standing against a stark black sky lit by a single sun or moon. Each ram-head has only a single eye, and those of the two central heads merge together into one, making three eyes in all.

Tonight, the #FactionParadox website is proud to present an exclusive interview with @kateorman.bsky.social, editor of "Liberating Earth" for @obversebooks.co.uk โ€” and a new vignette tying in with that book's framing story!

It's #AceWeek again and, while the #925Universe hasn't done much this year, June did see the release of "Jenny Over-There's Mild Epiphany" wherein teen Jenny... Well, you can read the title. 1/4

Post image After her murder by the sun god, Phineas Kidd was resurrected as a commanderโ€” one who trades their soul for the ability to rewrite reality through sheer grit. Phineas uses it to punch things. Now grown and armed to the teeth with weaponized optimism, she sets out to catch the sun: an urban legend that will either help her liberate the world from the deities tearing it apart or destroy her in the process.

But first she'll need a ship, and a crew too.

When Phineas rolls into the desert outpost of Last Chance the only ship in sight belongs to Cold Hazard, the wizard terrorizing the town and its mining operation. Fortunately she also meets Ulrich, a perpetually irritable stage magician who only wants to kill her some of the time. With his pistols and her fists, it should be no problem to climb the town's radio tower and deal with one crusty old dude.

...though, the things lurking in the depths below Last Chance might be more trouble than they or anyone else can handle.

Grist is the first novel in a humanist series about monsters who love each other, thriving in a world that wants them dead.
