Teriyaki sushi rolls in red sushi boats, with soy sauce in the end compartments.

This is still the best-looking sushi I've ever made

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

I put my roommate in charge of crushing garlic for the curry. This was the convo:

Her: How many cloves should I add?

Me: The initial recipe calls for 2, so I usually do 4.

Her: ... Do you though.

Me: Well, yeah, though if the cloves seem too small, I do 6.

Her: Should I do 8?

Me: Yeah, do 8.

I Hate You, GenAI; October 1 2025 — The Irritable Queer I missed a post last week! Apologies – I seem to have all my health-related check-ins grouped around this time of year, and in addition to school and finishing another manuscript, I’ve been swamped. ...

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them: The horror of being forced to carry a child you don’t want. The catharsis of taking revenge on a man who stole your right to choose. The terror of being threatened by the world for having a baby you do want because you’re “the wrong gender”. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

IT'S OUT TODAY!

The anthology I contributed to, 'CHOICES', focuses on the horrors surrounding reproductive rights and freedoms.

Shot a promotional video or two today, with my 7 year old's help - and she had creepier ideas than I had!

But it's so good...

A bowl of sushi rice and a stein of Coca Cola.

Coke but CAPITALIZED

Sometimes a meal can be sushi rice and two cans of coke in an enormous stein.

29. One of the first tip-offs that something is Different about Otherside Book Exchange is that it doesn't smell like books! I figure if you're anything like me, the lack of book-smell would unnerve any avid reader!

My ideal career, if I were smarter, would be World's Greatest Detective.

But alas, I am only good at solving fictional crimes.

28. I thought about giving Edward a pet (a dog or a cat, probably the former) but I didn't want anything bad to happen to it, plus I didn't think it'd make sense for Edward to adopt so soon after getting housing.
