It's about rich assholes and holier-than-thou racist zealots believing poor people don't deserve to live as anything other than powerless slave labor they can control and humiliate.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

One of my favorite anime of 2025. If you've been holding out because it didn't have a dub, the little I've heard sounds fantastic.

Please give it a shot. It's legit one of the few horror anime to actually spook me, and its themes and characters are captivating.

We only need to make it one more week before money stops being a constant headache. To safety and recovery.

Bad news is, we are in the hole and will be even more by then.

Looking to raise $150 today to avoid fees and make it through.

The dummy copy of the SHE DREAMS IN BLOOD Insanity Edition has arrived! And it is sexy!

If you missed the Kickstarter campaign, you can still get both books through the Late Backer Store.

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either:

a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less

b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out

hit me with your recommendations for excellent trans adult fiction by trans authors? Stag Dance and RCBG have been rattling around in my head since I read them and I and want to read more trans stories that aren't memoir or aimed at young readers!

Promo image showing the cover of The Dead Man, A Mennik Thorn Prequel Novella, by Patrick Samphire. Image includes the text:

It had turned out that, other than the odd curse that took me minutes to break, ordinary people didn't have that many magical problems. It was almost like the wealthy and the powerful of the city and their pet mages caused most of their own problems. Like if all the rich people and their mages suddenly disappeared, most the city's problems would disappear with them.

We're now only 18 days away from The Dead Man being published. A new Mennik Thorn story for existing fans or brand new readers (the miracle of a prequel!). You can be one of the first to read it by pre-ordering:

When I could no longer go on, I reached out for help. Working through the weeks until the antidepressants took hold was impossible, looking back. I don't know how I did it.

But I did.

Undocumented people aren't eligible for food stamps, yet I guarantee that if you arrived at their door hungry, they would share their food with you.

Occasional reminder that the main goal of AI use in its current form is epistemicide: the suppression of the means of acquiring and verifying knowledge so the AI’s owners can feed you whatever information will give them the most power.

One of the fun things about writing sci-fi is if you strike the right tone, you can invent cool-sounding shit and show what it does without really going into how it works. Kinda like writing fantasy.

I just got word the garnishment is officially repaid in full. Including fees and interest. This previous check should be the last one that's short.

Later today I will be making one last plea for work or charity to help us stay afloat this upcoming week.

For now. Gratitude.

Americans have long viewed their president as the leader of the free world, their country an example of freedom that other countries try to emulate.

It’s never been particularly true but the realization that it’s now definitively the opposite must be hard for those who were in denial before.

Need food assistance? Where to go when CalFresh and WIC benefits are delayed We’ve compiled a list of resources throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties to help fill the gap while the federal shutdown continues.

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike.

The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact.

It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create.

Stay focused.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firmβ€”authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties β€œin any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractorsβ€”turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

There once was a king, Ozymand
Who bragged about all he’d command.
Trying to fill his foes with fright he
Said β€œLook on my works, ye mighty!”
But now it’s all trunkless legs and sand.
