We were denied financial assistance for my mom's life-saving treatment despite the yearly cost exceeding my family's ENTIRE ANNUAL INCOME by over $50k. The amount we need is so high that I feel absurd even trying to ask for help, but it's my mom. I have to try ko-fi.com/lotuscarp

Fans who can't/don't want to draw have also just given me stuff they plugged into meme text generators and it's silly but it makes me laugh from my gut, genuinely. As long as no AI is involved I will cherish it whatever it is
Fan art of your characters is sort of the greatest motivator in the world, ngl. If you wanna draw a character, you definitely should (and tag the author when you do!)
I really can't express enough how much Magica Riot fan art makes me happy 🥹

I'm gonna stray off the beaten path here a second and add that this is why it makes me so irritated when non-white people are queerphobic or transphobic. It was not made for you VRO!!

The scene where Zhang Chenghua aborts a plant demon and then fucks her patient immediately is going to be released as a free preview for Part 3. I'm just not sure how much longer I want to hold on to it. It might slip out of my sinful hands any day now

there is no begging for a "please grant me the right to exist", there is only a statement of "i will not only exist, but i will thrive in the face of your attempts to exterminate me. and you are far too weak to stop it" - and i think more trans people are starting to understand and accept this.

the developer of Calibre has doubled down on this nonsense after encountering user criticism and getting mad about it
definitely don't update, and maybe regress to a version before ~8.11

there are forks in development right now, so this won't be the only software in the ebook management niche!
the fucking Calibre e-book manager has gone AI slop

Friedrich Engels: “There is no workers’ party…the workers gaily share the feast of England’s monopoly of the world market and the colonies.”
Let's say there's a huge blue wave in 2028 that ushers in an era of unprecedented queer and trans acceptance in the US. And? The goal of Dem elites is to preserve the imperial war machine. It is our duty to soundly reject their offer to give us a seat at that table. Our goal is to smash the table.

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know:

you are loved

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

If your activism is focused around The Spectacle of Trump the Dems are using you. They're jingling keys in your faces and you're falling for it. When they get back into power and neglect to reverse his policies, they're going to keep jingling keys until you forget about migrants and trans people.

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

I do post my opinions here sometimes and sometimes those opinions are angry but if this ever becomes a discourse account, I've lost my way as a writer and it's time to delete

This series does not teach AI writing or content replacement. It focuses on workflow efficiency, analytics, and tools that support—never replace—human creativity.

The Battle of the 108 Sword Vault will be released as free bonus material for lore enjoyers in January. I'm keeping it free because Suming's parents do some hetero stuff in it but on the other hand you will also get to see a horrible man become impregnated by a plant demon and then explode. For free

in case u don't know the answer, it is NO. people are being bombed in tents & flooded in winter weather while starving to death slowly. donations help. regular weekly ones help the most. if you're in a Western country, your taxes likely paid for this oppression. pay to mitigate that as best you can
someone asked me yesterday if things had 'settled down' in Gaza . i swear to God
