New account, who dis?

Hello there—I'm Jeannie, writing nearly-always-queer fantasy, SciFi, horror, & sometimes poetry.
My darlings are unapologetic saps who care an awful lot and face off with their demons, both literal and figurative

Accordingly: poly horromantasy coming 2026 🌈🚀💫

„Jeder dritte Grippefall in Hamburg kommt ins Krankenhaus – so stark sind die Symptome oder so groß ist das Risiko für die Patienten.“

Eine gute Chance für willige Wirte mal ihre Krankenhausaufenthalte „nachzuholen“, wenn man der „Logik“ der deutschen Corona-Experten folgt.

Wohl bekommt‘s. 🤷🏽‍♂️😷🍿

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder

And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Recently asked chatgpt what it thought about the experiments where AI kept opting to blackmail and/or kill users

And this thing got so weirdly defensive about "those are rumors, none of that is true". I had to send 3 article links for it to pivot to "ahh haha my bad yeah ok that happened"

Auf arte gibt es gerade diese Doku über die heilige Schar von Theben, eine Elitetruppe die aus 150 schwulen Männerpaaren bestand.
Ich sag’s euch, griechische Geschichte ist und bleibt spannend, ich habe mich in meinem Geschichtsstudium schon gern damit beschäftigt.
Liebe und Krieg: Schwule Helden der Antike - Die ganze Doku | ARTE
Schwul und Soldat? Bei manchen schlägt die Fantasie bei diesem Thema Kapriolen. Bei anderen gibt es Diskussionen. Ein archäologischer Fund rückt dieses Thema in den Fokus: die Kraft der Liebe soll ein...

I'm obsessively trying to keep the price of Stanchion Books and the magazine low to make the chapbooks, novellas, short story collections, and now novels, attainable to as many readers as possible, while still paying authors generous lump sum amounts... 1/2

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Huge discovery - how little we understand about the #biodiversity that we are fast-trashing

"Key parts of the eukaryotic story remain hidden in places we rarely explore."

Newly Discovered Organism Could Represent a Whole New Branch in The Tree of Life
It's not every day that biologists announce an entirely new branch of life, and this one has been hiding under their noses for years.

The rot is real. “Repeated exposure to highly stimulating, fast-paced content may contribute to habituation, in which users become desensitized to slower, more effortful cognitive tasks such as reading, problem solving, or deep learning.” www.independent.co.uk/tech/tiktok-...
TikTok and Instagram usage leading to brain rot, says APA study
The more short-form content a person watches on social media, the poorer their cognitive performance, the study found

It's flu SZN, people
Ok so its one of those dept of health posters you find in bathrooms. The poster is 13 little comic book scene style squares displaying hands in various stages of hand warshing with music lyrics under each one to help you, the filthy hand warsher, know how long you should spend warshing your filthy, disgusting hands. The top of the poster reads, "Hand washing technique with soap and water." And the music that reads under each square is as follows, "(1) It's been a long road, getting to there from here(2)It's been a long time but my time is finally near(3)And I will see my dream come alive at last(4)I will touch the sky, and they're not gonna hold me down no more(5)No, they're not gonna change my mind(6)'Cause I've got faith of the heart(7)I'm going where my heart will take me(8)I've got faith to believe-I can do anything- I've got strength of the soul(9)And no one's gonna bend or break me(10)I can reach any star(11)I've got faith(12)(I've got-I've got-I've got) I've got faith,(13)FAITH OF THE HEART"

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry.

come over.
We Have Enough Dead Friends by LENA OLEANDERSON Come over. The doors are open, my flat's a mess and so is my heart but the doors are always open. Come over. I will make soup, probably from frozen but the important thing is we will both eat. You don't have to be dying, but if you are, or you feel like you are, or if living's been hard, call me, and I will show up. It doesn't have to be that bad, it doesn't have to be bad at all, but if it is, please call. Do you want me to do the groceries? Do you want me to mop the floors? Do you need to be held; you don't have to be dying to be held. If you want me to be there, I want to. I'm on the bathroom floor again, and breathing is hard, and eating's been hard, and sleeping, the world is a laden thing rolling around on my chest lately. Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends. Come over.

trans day of remembrance sucks because we’re the only ones who ever give a shit about it. if cis people took it as a day to go “wow through our callous disregard for the safety of trans people we sure did kill a lot of trannies” every year that might be worth something but we don’t even get that

Forget favourite fruits, which one is your (or your characters') "staple fruit", the one you would want to keep if all others were vanished by malignant magic?

(fruits in the culinary sense, not the botanical, that is)

As usual, I'm recommending using Terry Pratchett's Witches books to fill the witch-shaped hole in your heart. Sir Terry Pratchett was an ally to the end and even wrote at least two nonbinary characters before "nonbinary" was in the common dictionary.

*reads book*
*looks up and off into the distance*
*clears throat*

Note to self: when writing a alt-medieval-ish, nom-Earth fantasy story, try not to use words like "shanghaied" or "kerosene"

Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say. An audit of the top 10 generative AI models including ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta’s AI by the media literacy non-profit NewsGuard revealed that the non-response rates of chatbots went down from 31% in August 2024 to 0% in August 2025. At the same time, the chatbots’ likelihood of repeating false information almost doubled from 18% to 35%, NewsGuard found. None of the companies responded to NewsGuard’s request for a comment at the time.
