Obviously I'm not expecting to get the money I'd need for the MRIs (it's just under Β£600 for one part and I'd need two spinal sections and potentially my brain too), but anything at all would mean the world. It'll either go towards pain management or aids to make life a little easier πŸ’š

Also, just to clarify, I have nothing against fated mates if that's your jam! Write what makes you happy! I just enjoy writing my relationships differently!

Right?! Like, I don't want to be writing that stuff... It doesn't add to the narrative I'm constructing in the slightest and it does nothing for me so why would I include it? 🀣 It just feels uncomfortable and like a desperate grasp for a higher word count 🀣

Oooh...
Bathroom scenes (unless it's actual bathing scenes because YES hurt/comfort bath scenes are my JAM) but no actual... Bathroom talk :')

And fated mates. I want my love interests to overcome obstacles and fight to be together, not just being together because ✨destiny✨

Having a few drinks to celebrate @zackpolanski.bsky.social green party's historical win today! Hope will never die, even if fascists want nothing more than to kill it off. We will always turn up and fight for our rights.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!

-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.

Frankenstein's creature bent over and choking Viktor.

Frankenstein's creature bent over and choking Viktor.

A zoomed up version of the image with black over it and the text:
Ought to Be Thy Adam
In 1897, after studying corpses and toying with electricity, medical student Viktor has created the man from his darkest, shameful desires. Except guilt forces him to make one final adjustment: female parts. 

As his new creation gains sentience while vivisected during Viktor's university tour and begins to chafe under Viktor's thumb, a violent death and disobedience leads the monster to make himself into the man he was always meant to be.

This is one of the rougher weeks in the last few years. It feels like the terrible news is just non-stop and things are getting worse faster and faster.

Just. Take care of yourselves.

It's all just happened so fast... After the initial build up of over two and a half years for the back pain to get this debilitating, now I have a host of other issues including muscle spasms, pins and needles and weakness and I'm fearing the derm was right and this is a nervous system disorder 😬

It's really scary seeing how downhill my body is going... From the agonising pain that started as bugs biting me to now feeling like being stabbed by hot knives, to the way my fingers tingle for hours on end and have done for a week now, to my struggle with finding the right word when speaking.

I have my physio appointment tomorrow... I'm really hoping when I hand over my notes of symptoms and explain what's been going on he'll realise that it isn't a musculoskeletal issue and refer me to the right place for help but we'll see 😬🀞

every day as a trans person doing creative work is forcing yourself to not focus on the nightmares and hunker down and keep doing as good a job as you can in the hope that for a brief window you can fulfill your drive and get your art into the world before the hammer falls on you too

Title EARTHLINGS! Over the curve of the earth

Title EARTHLINGS! Over the curve of the earth

A group of second generation aliens sleeper cells have spent their entire lives assimilating to human culture and gathering intelligence for the home world. To them, the eventual overthrow of farth has always been a distant goal meant for future generations.

Now, when ordered to abduct and replace a human girl they have betriended, one of the alien operatives realizes that they have grown to care more for their found home and family than they do for their own people. She sabotages the abduction and goes on the run with the human girl.

Her friends are ordered to track her down; but now questioning their own mission, they find themselves wondering if the entire invasion is a mistake and if they have more in common with these Earthlings than they ever thought...

Her whole life, Kylie Rae had been concerned with appeasing her demanding, achievement-focused mother while enjoying an otherwise peaceful teenage life of sleeping late and hanging out with friends after school.

That all changes after she learns she’s the reincarnation of a destroyed magic kingdom’s crown princess after she and her two closest friends end up in a life-threatening situation. Now she has her past incarnations and somehow her own future self as distinct consciousnesses in her head, each with their own agenda β€” one that doesn’t necessarily line up with Kylie’s own interests.

Even worse, her past two incarnations were killed by the same man… and he’s coming for her next. If she doesn’t adapt to her new life of magic and secrets, making A’s to appease her mom will be the least of her concerns β€” she’ll be just as dead as the incarnations body-sharing with her.

Below the blurb on the left are three illustrations of teenagers, from left to right: an anxious messy haired teenage boy with light blue eyes, a shorter teenage girl with shoulder length reddish-brown hair and bright aquamarine eyes, and a taller red haired, brown eyed teenage girl with a serious expression. To their right is Riyati Rebirth’s covers in ereader, phone, and print book format, with β€œriyati.ink/rebirth” under the cover mockups.
