The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

My poem "on choosing crushes" is in Pulse Zine issue 03! Give it a read 🖤🖤

Shoutout to all the queerdos like me who never really *got* crushes in school bc they just weren't into the gender they thought they were "supposed" to like (or maybe into no gender at all) 🌸

a reference sheet of a character named Alwena, a teal skinned Tiefling girl with curly ram horns, black hair and fully black eyes, she has a long orange scarf with floral pattern. There's a portrait of her smiling gently and a fullbody drawing of her in her werewolf form. There's also a chicker thigh with a bite missing, her battle axe and her scarf as the frame of the sheet.

(Only exceptions might be human/animal shapeshifters, though those usually only get to suffer in their human forms in my writing as well.)

If you ever spot an animal, magical or regular, in my writing, please know nothing bad will happen to it. N e v e r. You can relax and read on. I only like to torment HUMAN(esque) fictional blobs specifically 🫶

Been brainstorming in the background for a very specific submission call that's due in 2 days and still haven't settled on anything. That's it, I'm putting the murder sapphics in a 1920s AU

2) vague topic + optional ship/character
3) topic X number Y (for series)

an illustration of a mage wearing a cloak made predominantly of moss, holding a lantern with a bright, golden flame. their cloak is indistinguishable from the surrounding forest environment, camouflaging amongst the rocks and shrubbery in the foreground. framing the mage is an arched border composed of twisting branches and vines. two, large purple eyes, matching that of the mage's, stare at the viewer.

big tall elongated man walking out of the shadows between suburban homes at dusk, his upper body in shadow and cut off by the photo

big tall elongated man walking out of the shadows between suburban homes at dusk, his upper body in shadow and cut off by the photo

Long body swaying, moving through shadows cast by the crescent of sun on the horizon, dying light falling against the roofs of suburban homes. It peers in at the people inside, but disappears as soon as a head snaps up at the movement outside the window. It can only look, and walk on

7, with a periodic table placement.

7, with a periodic table placement.

Conversations with 7-year-olds:

7: You know, mom. There's one element that's not on the periodic table.

Me: Oh yeah? What's that?

7: The element of surprise.

The digital illustration shows a woman with dark long hair, gathered in a messy bun, she is wearing a dark blue dress, in her left hand she is holding an axe. Behind the woman is a stone staircase, which she is climbing. In the upper right corner are large windows, behind the woman's head is a large portrait of a couple, in the upper left corner are stairs leading up

This illustration was fascinating to draw 🖤
