Okay, I'm determined to return to my love of #worldbuilding in these horrible times, and since all of my previous projects have failed--I can lovingly commit to reusing the work done on them.

And using what I've learned from various world building/writing games, feel the high ground's favor...

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦 @diannalgunn.bsky.social · 4m

I know someone I'm mutuals with on here can do this, I'm just blanking on names

I also know Dave is super cool to work with. I certainly enjoyed murdering him with giant wheels of cheese 🤷‍♀️

Looking for a cover artist for self-published book trilogy. Mecha story with a boy and girl main characters. Something mildly cartoony that will punch in thumbnail.

Yes, paid! Four covers total, for each volume and an omnibus edition.

If you have a site you want me to look at, let me know.

This is correct, in part - as the grim, military historian in me feels the need to note - it is psychologically much harder to get soldiers to open fire on people they view as 'respectable.'

And I dread, with grim increasingly certainty, that we are headed to a point where that matters.

I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW!

We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support.

Goal: $50,000

We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser.

Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case.

To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen.

Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support.

In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

This is exactly right.

While the political elite of the so called opposition party have abandoned us to fascism the population itself is rising to the occasion and fighting it back at every turn in any way they can

Including risking gnarly road rash on places road rash would be awful to get.

One thing that’s different from Nazi germany is that lots of everyday people are resisting this shit, even if politicians have abandoned us.

Alright y'all, so I had this essay about the current era of the internet and the hypocrisy from all sides about children on social media in my head for months.

This is actually my first time writing an essay like this so uhm, it would be cool if you read it 👉👈

Part of me really wants to read this for myself, and the other part of me is having flashbacks of those fucking dinners.

⛦Biki⛧Nhog⛥🔞 @bikinhog.bsky.social · 2h

When I worked in a private school...system...there was a yearly donor event/dinner in which all sorts of folks were brought in to give lectures on books they've written, but maybe three out of ten of them had put in actual footwork--whereas most just made careers out of pure theory.

It's extremely cynical, but there's a particular practice in high academia to refuse to let anyone "sit at your table" unless they've published something--and the having a confusing presentation with as many absurd, undefined words as possible, kind of loans to the idea this is their RSVP.

If the passages you cited are anything to go off of, their use of lingual gymnastics in that attempt to...appear authoritative and compelling would have me questioning the meaning of everything they say.

Are they using "material analysis" as a thesaurus-aided placeholder for something else, for ex.
