I created a separate online identity to insulate my NSFW writing from my offline life. I like when adults read and appreciate my work, because that's who I'm writing it for. If they want a "kid-friendly" BlueSky, then make "BlueSkyKids" and keep it SFW only. Won't find me on it.

...that portmanteau works less and less well as the months go on, huh?

I've got three more stories relatively ready to post (just some short editing left to do), one more that needs finished, and then a 13k word story that needs a bunch of love. This Krakentober is definitely stretching into Krakenvember and maybe even Krakencember and Krakuary or Krarch...

Really happy with how well my latest Krakentober story, Overtime Compensation, is doing on Literotica! Extra Sausage is doing okay too! Both are now up:

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

Hey, I'm trying to learn more about toxicity on Bluesky. How often do you see toxicity on here? Where in the app do you see it?

Overtime Compensation (Krakentober day 5 with a substituted prompt) is up on AO3 and submitted to Literotica now!
Will two oblivious Lesbians find a way to get compensation for their asshole boss's demand they work overtime, even if it's just fucking on the clock?

Banning transphobes would be a good first step, not having to read transphobes would give me a real calm feeling. Maybe rethinking those "lovely" content policies too, and actually listening to the survey you put out a while ago? That'd be pretty damn calm too.

Was talking to a 50-something friend who said they were telling a 20-something that big secret of adults is that no one feels they're an adult.

I know this is a common saying, but I don't vibe w/it at all. Certainly not for last 10 or 15 years.

I feel very much like an exhausted, weary adult.

Day 2 of Krakentober is up only 2 days late! Porter tries his best with a magic book from the 1960s, but ends up accidentally summoning his pizza delivery guy. Sexy times ensue with some magical assistance.

How come tech CEOs and site owners can never just like, be normal? Like there was a very clear and obvious path to keeping their base happy: Ban the bigots, leave artists alone.

They could've been making bank off that paid subscription service by now, but that's sure as fuck not happening anymore.

Day 2 of Krakentober aaaaand I'm already taking a short break. Had a Rough Day™, lots of small stuff piling up, so I'm implementing my first rule of 'tober: Be kind to yourself, be kind to your friends.

So y'all, go hug someone you love today, even if it's a virtual hug.

Krakentober day 1 is up! Cursed Love is about a WLW couple where one is bi and the other a werewolf with a humiliation kink. Mild pseudo-bestiality (the human and werewolf fuck after her transformation)

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

PSA about D*scord's TOS changes. You need to email arbitration-opt-out(at)discord(dot)com to NOT waive legal rights. A template: "I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate for the account (username) as of (current date)",
OG post: www.tumblr.com/eggseventy/7...

discord's new terms of service DO have a mandatory arbitration clause for the United States and Canada, you have 30 days to opt out by emailing an opt out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com. this has been your standard "for the love of god do not waive your right to a jury trial under any circumstances" notice

I sent an email that was "I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate for the account (username) as of (current date)", and i sent it from the email associated with that account.

All the smut creators I've seen, both visual and written, want proper tools to describe what their works contain so that _anyone_ can make an informed decision on whether they want to interact with that work. They want to give people the tools to choose to interact with them.
