Good afternoon, 47.

THAT is Macavity. Master criminal, also known as the Hidden Paw and the Bafflement of Scotland Yard.
Apparently, he’s committed every crime.

The client has requested that you take a… jellicle approach, whatever that means.

Good luck, 47.

Is it “heterosexual”? Because if so, I’d be in difficulties myself.

Two picrews for International Lesbian Day—Ashrah 💜 & Nitara 🖤 (love the dancing pose... just imagine Nitara as a lot more muscular! xD) and Askaly 💓 & Xiuying 💙

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #BattlemageAskaly

Picrew of Ashrah and Nitara dancing (https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/302160). Ashrah wears a white dress, while Nitara wears a black suit and her eye patch. We only see Nitara's face, and how tenderly she smiles at Ashrah.

Picrew of Askaly and Xiuying (https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/273493). Askaly holds onto Xiuying's shoulders and kisses her, both their faces hidden.

I just let out an evil little chuckle when I put some beads next to some jump rings for this bracelet.

I think I’m right in pursuing jewelry as a career.

anyone else think AEUG propaganda is getting a little... like it's kinda... you know?

Fanart of Quattro Bajeena in the style of vintage pulp romance. Text on the image reads as follows:
"Published with the permission of Lt. Quattro Bajeena."
"SIN in SPACE."
"He left his love on terra firma... and now, he needs to seduce a married man about it."
"Captain... You'll indulge me, won't you?"

We like to root for the underdogs, right? Well, here's a bundle of books that haven't received the attention they deserve.

It includes the 4th book in my Lost Humanity series, Predators! If you never got to continue past Bridges, this is your chance!

itch.io/b/3305/under...

Graphic that reads "Itch.io Under-Rated Bundle, Oct 9th-13th, Bringing attention to the best books you've never heard of." Text is brown on an off-white background with five yellow stars bordering it above and below. Around the text box are the following book covers: Predators by H.S. Kallinger, Zinmages by M.C. Burnell, The Spider's Friend by M.C. Burnell, Disappearance and Other Short Stories by PD Loupee, Memories of Sorcery and Sand by Joanna Maciejewska, Kranlian Rendezvous by Simon Wolfe, The Shadow of Arcadia by Alan K. Dell, Devil Deal by Janina Franck, The God Sun by Alan K. Dell, Water's Edge by Ellie Lieberman, The Third People by Lee Burton, The Crimson Knight by Zeta K. Pierce, The Lion by Lee Burton, Adventures In GameWorld : Game Start by Robert Rumery, All Through the House and Other Tales from a Random Place by Joachim Heijndermans, Soft Reboot by Joachim Heijndermans, Blue by Niranjan, Wizard's Debt by Niranjan, Ambushed by Natasha O'Connor, At First Belonging by Rob MacWolf, and Demon Hunters Inc : The Infestation by Robert Rumery.

Image of a redwood forest at night containing shadowy shapes with glowing eyes in the blue spaces between trees. H.S. Kallinger is written in green at the bottom. Title text, Predators, is a gradient of gray fading into blood red over the thin trees. The top reads 'Book Four of the Lost Humanity series' in white text.

I am always surprised by international lesbian day lol

I'm Makana! I'm a mixed race nonbinary lesbian who writes science fiction full of mixed race nonbinary lesbians! my debut cyberpunk space heist novel HAMMAJANG LUCK is out now, and it's standalone sequel THE OBAKE CODE will be out Feb 17th!

trope graphic for the obake code but oops it's all lesbians. the cover is in the center of the graphic, showing malia, a black woman in a white shirt, black pants, black boots, and her long hair in green dip-dyed locs. she is looking up at a futuristic sky, with skyscrapers with pink and purple windows and a flying car whizzing overhead. the cover is on a background of the lesbian flag in spattered paint. the arrows read "lesbians," "so many lesbians," "butch lesbians," "chapstick lesbians," "femme lesbians," "aro/ace lesbians," "lesbians of color," "indigenous lesbians," "black lesbians," "they/them lesbians," and "he/him lesbians."

I love this book. It’s about a woman grappling with guilt and being complicit with a fascist regime after the regime ejects her from the order. It’s about abuse and recovery. It’s just a great book and you should read it.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!
