Fuck it, writing the “Petra Parker as older married reporter with kids” novel. Enjoy Penumbra 3, Chapter 1 now on my patreon :)

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Only 2 fucking weeks ago she was harassing me about wether the house listing was on track and when pressed why she was asking me, the person with whom she, mutually and expressly, does not wish to talk to instead of our realtor, she said it was “her trying to reach out better” 🙄

Suffice it to say this letter has been bouncing around since August, but she only saw fit to mail it to me, without telling me, a few days ago. So I open it and learn said bill was sent to collections. In September.

Divorce continues to be a delightful shit show 🙄 Just learned that instead of passing along a bill I’m only being charged because she lied to me about when my health coverage ended, my ex-wife returned it to sender. Then sent it to me when they sent it back.

I remember reading that one of the most effective treatments for ADHD is, shockingly, nicotine, but you can't really get it without the downsides. However, this would account for the chainsmoker generations not noticing the impact of ADHD much, doesn't it

Gods I love that butt 😍

Provocation making the difference between murder and voluntary manslaughter has a long history of giving license to kill members of disfavored groups. The OG provocation is a man killing his wife because he caught her cheating and it’s the basis for gay and trans panic defenses as well

“The State conceded that if the proof showed the victim’s assigned sex was the reason for the altercation between Defendant and the victim, it would be relevant to the adequate provocation element of voluntary manslaughter”

OKAY but legitimately it is a problem how everything related to the MAHA quackery movement means any sort of legitimate patient advocacy very quickly gets shot down with "I'm The Doctor" and/or eyes glazing over because they're used to anti-science, "alt medicine", or whatever other bullshit.

It’s normal (and correct) to refuse to sign your likeness or performance over to AI. Even if there’s no indication that AI will specifically be used? Even if legally you’d be protected according to all sources? Saying no and standing by that is right.

A 2025 study found that most banned books are queer books or feature people of color; books and narratives with both are increasingly rare and doubly marginalized. It's why I self-pub my work; books "Estro Junkies" and its upcoming prequel are nigh-impossible to get published.

Ha thank you! I mentioned something similar when I watched it with my server, only to learn none of them had seen Ergo Roxy.

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

Not me thinking about how many trans people could have surgeries fully paid for for $17mil

I’ve seen Black people across social media platforms talking about picnics at lynchings and so many white people are in our mentions insisting that the last public execution was 1936 and that lynchings were “mob murder” not state sanctioned. So confidently loud and incredibly wrong.

It's true, I think we're at 2 million words of Gunmetal Olympus now, somehow.

The biggest recurring themes of GO works seem to be 'stories about women-shaped beings who are dehumanized/commodified' and 'religion as a site of exploitation as well as shelter', and they're both really interesting and would be impossible if the setting hadn't been dystopian and awful to live in.
