if every single service and transaction is monitored for its adherence to fundamentalist christian ethics, and every piece of media has to go through those services or transactions, you could very quickly find yourself in a world where no queer art or publication is possible to obtain or distribute

Wow. Okay.

I was going to spend the day writing, but it looks like I'll be calling some payment processors first.

Fucking diabolical.

Remember, pornographers have always been on our side. Brave, ready to fight for our rights. Smut is our friend.

I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw

Can I ask which outlet? (I think I can guess but...)

So sad I'm not local enough for this 😭

I'd love to join in! 💕

I also make playlists for all my projects! Some tracks that influenced Come Inside:

🪦 Mirrors - PVRIS
👻 Bring Me To Life (Synthesis) - Evanescence
🪦 Human - Ellie Goulding
👻 Turn the Lights Off - Tally Hall
🪦 White Noise - PVRIS (again)

erotica and horror are two sides of the same coin, if you wish to write good horror, you must be willing to turn someone on, and if you want to write good porn, you must be willing to scare someone

Just arrived home from a bustling queer meetup exhausted and covered in glitter. It reminded me how beautiful and powerful our community is.

The world may not make it easy but we find our ways to find each other. We love, support and celebrate each other. We always have, and we always will.

A graphic for "Wet Screams: A Monsterfucker Anthology" that says "find me inside" over an illustration of a wolf's open mouth

SO stoked to share that I have a piece in WET SCREAMS, a @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social anthology! Ever wondered what might happen if a hot monster gargoyle came to life and chased you (consensually) through a hedge maze in a night aflush with heady magic? Well now you can find out! 😈 #booksky

Good drama is about creating a desire in the reader and then teasing them with alternately fulfilling or denying that desire. In this way, it is a lot like a strip tease.

"Find Me Inside Wet Screams: A Monsterfucker Anthology" in blue cursive on the backdrop of a werewolf's maw.

Delighted to announce that my Gothic horror romance COME INSIDE will be appearing in WET SCREAMS: A Monsterfucker Anthology, curated by the fabulous @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social!

Featuring: possession, ghost sex, a kinky haunted house, and a kinkier spirit medium.

have to stop the world just to stop the feeling 🦋

#chappellroan

the more grotesque and overtly queer (as in kink, as in morbid, as in racialized, as in disabled) even my "frivolous" character art becomes, the less I feel that nagging "pointless" feeling. it's doing something (for me) even in its indulgence. maybe you need to scream before being silly. so scream.

Update: I read some more over breakfast and it continues to be excellent.

I'm just reading that chapter now!!

@floralashes.bsky.social thank you, you rule

I want to stay up until 5am to finish it but I know that if I do that, I won't be awake enough to absorb it properly and that would be a disservice to the book. So I'm being very brave and going to bed.

A paperback copy of Gender/Fucking: The pleasures and politics of living in a gendered body, by Florence Ashley. The book is purple with a pink and blue digital painting of an ambiguously-gendered nude on the cover.

I'm fifty pages into this and it's magnificent. An absolute game-changer. Gorgeously written.

Friendly reminder that if you use gen AI to make your stuff, YOU did not make it. You prompted it.

A writer writes, an editor edits, an artist draws (etc). Gen AI is the antithesis of creativity.

Like, you’re not a chef, you’re presenting a (stolen) microwave meal and want applause for it.
