It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This might sound silly, but subs mean a LOT

A 5 dollar sub is as helpful as a 20 dollar donation because it's money I'll have next month + it grows my accounts + it encourages others to join

And! You get perks! Games and stories.

First, here's every link. All of these count toward the goal, but subscriptions count double! A $5 sub to patreon or ko-fi counts as $10 for my math.

It's a Robinathon! Week 3

For those catching up I'm spending this month trying to catch up on bills and get in the green. I'm a disabled trans woman who lost my housing due to transphobia, and a working artist trying to grow my studio. Support me and unlock fun little rewards! Boosts help too!

Robin Williams daughter Zelda is pleading with people to stop creating AI videos of her Dad.

I’m pleading with you to stop using generative AI.

It’s destructive to the environment.

It’s destructive to artists.

It’s destructive to humanity.

It steals from us and churns out slop.

Just stop.

Choosing to read indie books is great, solid pat on the back material.

But choosing to read AND REVIEW indie books? You, my friend, are the stuff of legends.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival! 🥮 I’m thrilled to share the cover of #TheGirlWithAThousandFaces, coming 5 May 2026 from @torbooks.bsky.social! ⭐⁣The Girl with a Thousand Faces is a Chinese-Gothic tale set in a historical Hong Kong.

Cover art by Lindsey Carr, Cover design by Shreya Gupta

A ghostly Chinese woman with dead white eyes stares out from a stylised black and green ocean, her face surrounded by billowing gold foam

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK EATERS

A haunting dark urban fantasy set in a historical Hong Kong, where ancient myths and local legends combine in a story of ghosts, grief and women who will not forgive.

Mercy Chan is a triad exorcist with a mysterious past. After washing up on the shores of Hong Kong with no memory during World War II, she found a home in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatised civilians. Since the war ended, Mercy has rebuilt her life and found work as a ghost-talker for the local triad, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place.

But the past she can’t remember won’t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost lurks in Kowloon’s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy—and her forgotten childhood.

As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realise that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making.

Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors?

Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it!

Multiply disabled heart patient in need of support!

$700 rent weekly, due 11AM Sundays
$300 monthly bills (phone, storage)

Please help if you can? I cannot survive the street AT ALL- need hygiene and privacy to eat and sleep.

Hey! I'm Falco! (He/him, xey/xem)

I'm a queer, Autistic heart patient struggling to stay housed. My disabilities mean I need careful hygiene to eat or sleep, so if I lose my room I cannot survive!

Hotel's summer rate is currently $700/week, and I owe about $250 monthly for storage and phone.

I'd be honored if you would sponsor me on Patreon for $3 - $20 per month, for sneak peeks at new art, requests, and exclusive coloring mandalas.

Or you can snag fun merch at FalcoSkyWolf.Redbubble.com! Over 200 of my designs on dozens of garments, accessories, and home and tech items. Undercover Dragons, Pride art, and a wide mix of mandalas!

But the fastest way to help is donating through PayPal or CashApp, and I also take commissions for mandalas and text art. DM if you'd like custom designs!

Please help if you can!

(Background- extremely dark purple, with some simplified coins on top and pale blue feathers on bottom.)

I'm a very pale transmasc with long brown hair, part in a braid over my right shoulder, the rest loose down my left. I'm in a black winter sleeveless vest and a black fedora with an orange flicker feather, with thin blue spectacles, a blue and purple heavy-duty respirator, a silver ankh necklace, a dog-tag style necklace with Captain America's shield, and a black chain bracelet with a metal TARDIS (resembles a British phone-booth-like police call box) and a safety pin that has rainbow and trans pride beads on it. Behind me is a fuzzy blue blanket.

I'm giving myself permission to work on the new shiny contest entry project for #HubFest2025 and so far the most validating experience has been my muscle memory remembering all of my audio editing keyboard shortcuts.

This is SO much fun 😁

Still no change on my rent requests. A lot of the folks who regularly chip in for my rent had helped me save my storage this week, so they may be tapped out. It would help me a LOT if fresh donors could chip in.

(I did also get several fresh donors helping me save my unit.)

Please keep sharing?

Falco SkyWolf @falcoskywolf.bsky.social · 5d

Storage has been SAVED, thank you so much! Now I must start on rent.

Can you help me get this going EARLY? $700 due 11AM Sunday. #PleaseShare, and chip in if able?
