Trans femmes who don't like to tuck or don't want to tuck, my partner got a couple pairs of underwear from LeoLines and is loving them.
They also sell custom made bras and swim wear. It's all made to order with compression in the bottoms unless specified.

Read Like a Criminal Big Gay Read 2025 Keynote Speech

I got to deliver a talk on the history and legacy of the Hays Code and the Comics Code, contemporary censorship efforts, and the necessity of identifying with criminality. You can watch and read the whole thing here:

This is praxis, I’m so serious. Politely wasting as much time as physically possible. Rage doesn’t work. Wasting their money complaining does. This thread contains a GREAT script for being a confused but polite menace, talking point by talking point

"But this is just about porn games!"

Yes, and weird religious fascists regularly mischaracterize queer people and queer art as inherently pornographic, they shouldn't be given an inch because there's no line for them, no cut-off point, they'll never be satisfied. Do you think they'll stop at porn?

Just a reminder: It really helps us indie authors out if you will leave a rating or a review of our book on AZ and Goodreads when you finish.

I know, evil sites. I know. But they also generate a lot of traffic and funds we need. So please remember to drop a rating or review. Thanks! πŸ₯°

The cover art for Blue Unicorn Book One: The Glamour Thieves, by Don Allmon. The background features a futuristic neon cityscape. The foreground features a futuristic race car with neon tires and a Delorean-like door, with one orc sitting in the passenger seat, and another orc in a cut-off flannel shirt and jeans leaning against the trunk. A quote from a Publisher's Weekly starred review says "Swoonworthy."

One man's hand is curled around the cup, and another man's hand is cupping the first man's hand. There is a Lambda Literary Awards Winner emblem in the top left corner, and a quote from Booklist that reads "Loft tracks the winding course of true love."

The cover art for Lock Nut (A Plumber's Mate Mystery) by JL Merrow. The background is a natural-paper invitation with pencil drawings of plants on it that says "You're Invited." Pinned with green push pins to (and covering most of) the invitation is a picture of two smiling young men in formal clothes, and a piece of yellow paper with the title written on it. The author's name is on a piece of masking tape at the bottom of the invitation. A quote from Publisher's Weekly reads "A witty, absorbing mystery."

Finished The City We Became by NK Jemisin last night. It was a five-star read that has *rough* (to read in the current climate, especially) enemies and some fantastic characters. Audio narration was spot-on!
