Oh you want to read Gellert's New Job, about the meanest autistic transgender man and the biggest bastard of a vampire mov boss, so badly. You want to read it for just 99p for the eBook or a fiver for the paperback.

#BookSky #TransMan

You grew up in Lashton,” said Pike. “You know how to handle yourself, don’tcha? Word is people don’t like you.”

“Oh no,” said Gellert sarcastically. “That hurts my feelings.”

“’Cause you’re on the spectrum.”

“Colour spectrum?”

“Asperger’s.”

“Asperger’s,” Gellert repeated, and scoffed. “Even when they diagnosed me, I wasn’t palatable enough to be labelled with Asperger’s. I’m autistic.”

And blind as shit,” said Pike. “And you talk funny. And you’re a cunt.”

“And you want to hire me,” said Gellert.

Pike grinned, showing his sharp fangs. “Yeah,” he said.

“Now who’s the cunt between us?”

“What’s the different between Asperger’s and autistic?”

“Politics, acceptability, and about fifteen years.”

Do you think people hate you more ’cause you’re a faggot, or ’cause of the autism?”

“Always asking the important questions, aren’t you?”

“Is it true you’re a trap?” asked Pike, and Gellert blinked.

“I beg your pardon?”

“You know, a cuntboy,” said Pike. “You had your womb whipped out and your tits chopped off, but you still have an axe wound.”

Oh,” said Gellert, filing “trap” away to remember for later, and doing his best to do anything but remember “axe wound”. “The politically correct term is transgender, but yes.”

“You’re not getting angry,” said Pike.

“Are you trying to make me angry?”

“Not really,” said Pike. “Just wanted to see if you would be. You too good for crime?”

Just some questions to consider when writing the Accessibility notes for your event or your venue!

white text on a blue background, with an icon of a person in a wheelchair beside the heading "accessibility at your events".

the body text reads, "Some things to consider adding to your Accessibility section for your event and/or your venue, from a disabled man.

“The venue is semi-wheelchair accessible” is a good place to start, but when planning a night out, more information is better than less!

Accessibility is the most basic thing I look for in a venue, especially for events."

$white text on a blue background, with an icon of a cane beside the heading "accessibility at your events". Firstly, not all wheelchairs look the same. Motorised and power chairs might be wider, longer, or heavier than lighter chars without a motor - these chairs may need more space to go through doorways. Secondly, wheelchair-users are only a fraction of disabled people who may have additional access requirements - some people use canes, crutches, frames, rollators. Some may be photosensitive or use hearing aids, etc.$

US COVID-19 Update: October 13, 2025

No new CDC data for Oct 13 due to shutdown; Biobot also skipped updates. PMC estimates 1 in 98 Americans (1.0%) actively infectious—about 499,000 new daily cases, the first drop below 500k since July 30.

Next update expected October 20

Source: pmc19.com/data/

There is no updated report for the week of October 13. The CDC has not updated in 2 weeks due to the shutdown, and Biobot skipped their update as well. Based on our forecast from October 6, 1 in 98 Americans (1.0%) are estimated actively infectious as of October 13, equivalent to 499,000 new daily infections, the first time dipping below an estimated half-million new daily infections since July 30th. Expect an update on October 20th. In the meantime, monitor state-level data where still available.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.
