Well, I’ve finally done it - I’ve opened up writing commissions! Will be running with six slots so I can give this a proper test run (and limit backlog). Looking forward to working with y’all in the community!

Help a disabled writer get the medical treatment they need by donating whatever you want and receive a ~3k word fic in return!

Any fandom, any ship, any idea.

Please message me on Discord @CyanSaoirse as bsky messaging no longer works for me.

Link: ko-fi.com/cyansaoirse

Rules:
* Donation must be made before fic is written.
* Do not make a donation if we have not discussed anything first!
* If you are wanting me to write an OC, please provide as much information as possible.
* Allow up to 2 weeks for fic return. However, I will most likely have it completed before this.

Only things I will not do: underage, non-con, or real people. However, CNC and toeing the line of age are fine. (It's all fine tbh but to keep dono link, I have to have these rules lol)

some people don’t seem to like it when you point out grooming isn’t just sexual grooming, and isn’t necessarily always an older person exploiting someone younger

feels like it should be a big deal that the president is directing the invasion of american cities based on what are almost certainly AI videos shown to him by his staff

maybe one of our ostensible news organizations could track down exactly what it is that he's seeing

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Doing a nice little holiday themed deal! (Since I’m not at a stable budget to get something themed for this month rn):

$10 will net you a Halloween themed minific involving your OC. Send a request through the form if interested!

OctSton (0/6 Slots) @octston.bsky.social · Jul 19

Requests will be submitted through here: forms.gle/PCAXxy5DWPTj...

Also here’s a more accessibility focused version in case the text was hard to read

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Ken Paxton’s plan

“How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" is a reaction image commonly used to respond to users pretending to be part of a community that they are clearly unfamiliar with. The image features the actor Steve Buscemi dressed youthfully and holding a skateboard, and is usually subtitled with the tagline. The image is often photoshopped to adapt to a particular subculture, and the phrase is often used in conversation without the image. It’s edited to include random trans symbols including a trans Texas saying “y’all means all” and a badge that says “fuck the cis stem” and a trans hat with the hammer and sickle symbol.

Text reads: How do you do fellow transgenders

I wonder how many people mistook Helluva Boss for edgy, “masculine” entertainment and decided it was a soap opera for silly girls?

On that note, the fact that people keep responding to stories with major themes of pacifism, diplomacy, and rehabilitation by picking the literal worst examples of humanity and mock the story for not immediately solving addressing it shows how deeply ingrained punitive justice is in this society.

Elcee Rod 🦔🇵🇷 @elcee-rod.bsky.social · 1d

They call the Hellaverse fandom depraved freaks for liking shows with taboo and often sexual topics for humor and drama but also a bunch of spineless cowards for not wanting ”Literally Hitler” as a character in the shows just because “it’s Hell.”

Never forget that 3,000 people or so died on 9/11, and we went to war with someone (not the doers) for like 2 decades.

This is just the children? And it's 6× that amount.

People need to stop painting this douchebag as some kind of hero; just because he sometimes makes memes trolling Trump. He would make a lousy presidential candidate; and he doesn’t support the progressive values we need.

it's so fucking weird to talk to someone like this and viv was super respectful here but people still somehow say viv is in the wrong here and this is an example of her "downplaying" sa victim's experiences, despite her being a victim herself?
