Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate. May your teenagers be horny and slow.

Guardian Knight, Isle of Thistles 🌿

For as long as thistles have been growing here, the Knight has been watching over the Isle and its ancient castle, which houses a library of powerful plant magic. 🌿

To earn access to the library, one must pass a challenge duel with the Knight. 🌿

this really is what it’s like

It's fascinating how i can tell an AI booster that if they didn't make it then I won't pay for it and they just won't get it. What, you want free money for the nothing you did?

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

Be sure to tell all your friends where they can get 1200+ commercial use fonts for all their game dev and graphic design needs

Flight attendants had to move my giant yoshi plush to an empty seat in the back because it was taking too much room in the ceiling compartment, look a what they did to him 😭😭

My email is an endless stream of “upgrade to get access to—“

I don’t want it. I want to downgrade. I want to get less access. I want the opposite of what you’re selling.

very interested 👀

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

CONSIDER: if you as a reader actually bother to seek out and read LGBT original fiction, publishers will acquire more of it and the "original fiction isn't queer enough" problem will be addressed

valid and also same. the boom of romantasy is also not doing any favors to the selection. my only recs are The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin and, if you're interested in trans butch lesbian gender-affirming smut in Ancient Greece, The Scales of Seduction by Rien Gray.

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

The Calgary Public Library has replied to my concerns about their residency artist request for someone who uses AI. The Calgary Public Library is doubling down. They do not care about genuine artists.

I should mention the short story I'll release as thanks is quite spicy.

The time for active, community level engagement with the “less respectable” art we care about is now.

That means using our voices to shift the floor of acceptability. To contribute Word of Mouth appreciation, and yes, engaged, generous critique, for queer outsider erotic art.

What makes me so fucking mad is

I never hurt anyone. The vast, overwhelming majority of nsfw creators and sex workers dont.

We get cut off from the ability to use-the-dollar but all the sick fucks that hurt people, both directly and indirectly, every single day, never get even a slap on the wrist

A present I did to myself for Christmas is a photo book of Ren Hang, a Chinese photographer who takes some of the most interesting sexual pictures I've ever seen.
Very nsfw thread:

Enough already. Sex work is work, porn art is work, and work deserves to be paid for. It's time for the grown-ups to make those the rules.

I think at some point people are going to have to show up outside of the Mastercard HQ with signs and protest this censorship stuff, I feel like there has to be a visible IRL presence where execs work to actually make a dent in this issue

The 3 genders

everyone get more transfeminist NOWWWWWWW ok thank you

I did! I adore it!

I know it's only March, but I believe that "sloppelganger" is 2026 Word of the Year

happy birthday!
