In a city where being a hero is a full-time job and your power comes from your fans, would you deny your feelings for fame? 💫💘 Starbright Agency is an upcoming queer-friendly romantic visual novel inspired by 90's magical girl anime, city pop, and idol culture✨🏙️

Absolutely

please my ancient fandom hag soul is black and withered folks didn't code their own mulder/krychek geocities pages in the dark ages of the 90s to be disrespected this way

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

RIP, Bond. It‘s probably the best after the horrendous clusterfuck that was No Time To Die. Bond is dead, and so will be the shitty spinoffs Amazon will churn out, five minutes after they go on air.

It‘s probably fanmade. But as someone who studied ancient Greek for six years, this kind of ignorance hurts my soul.

So, I gave Fourth Wing another shot because my coworkers won‘t shut up about it. This is so bad, I only made it to 20% of the audio book. That‘s almost 5 hours of my life wasted. Here, have a pic of my cat judging me for wasting 10€ that could have bought treats for her.

The irony of cis-straight normative patriarchy: it introduces a METRIC FUCKTON of homoeroticism by believing men and women are so fundamentally different from one another that they can never truly understand one another In this essay I will

This is a terrible book. Terrible, unforgiving, and absolutely magnificent. I finished it two days ago, and I'm still reeling. 6/5 stars app.thestorygraph.com/books/a97a9e...

This thread explains how to remove DRM on ebooks on all platforms. It worked for me with macOS and an old Kindle Voyage, but apparently there’s a way even without a physical device. It’s worth a try. Removal for Kobo works as well for me. www.reddit.com/r/Calibre/s/...

I need to stop preordering books. I think I’ve rage-quit every book I preordered in the last six months. Too much hype and misleading descriptions for books that are in dire need of several rounds of editing. What a waste of precious reading time.

I like this piece about romance's growing acceptance. “Every year, it seems to me that people—especially women—care less and less what others think,” Koch tells me. “Maybe it was the pandemic, maybe it was the multiple global disasters. But somewhere along the way, they stopped giving a shit."

Fuck Amazon. You never actually owned a Kindle ebook, but now they’re just getting more and more shameless about scamming their customers. I’m so glad I switched to Kobo last year. Download your ebooks NOW, and de-DMR via Calibre.

Here's another reason for indie authors to ditch Amazon and switch to another platform like itch.io. Amazon is supposedly getting rid of the "download & transfer via USB option" for ebooks at the end of the month. Buy a Kobo or a Nook if you want more accessibility and control over your media.

The cat and I have a vet appointment in an hour, pls send prayers she won’t kill me after.

Write new worlds. Write beautiful places. Write angry people. Write imaginary beasts, futile quests, broken hearts, lifelong injustices, mysteries, love affairs, lost children, newfound purpose. Write anything that allows you to escape or heal or vent or rage or explore or reconcile. Write 🖤

Do I need more pens and paper? Probably not, but with the current state of German politics, I already blew through my stationery allowance for the next six months. Ink and paper makes me happy.

Wir alle wissen, dass gekränkte alternde Multimillionäre niemals, wirklich niemals, unsere Interessen vertreten werden, nicht wahr?

I have a wee fic prompt thing going on tumblr. Surprisingly, most prompts are for Arthur/Eames, which makes me happy because those were the days. But also oooof, the last time I wrote them was in 2016. But hey, 2025 is all about writing things that make me happy, not about popular things.

This is just word salad. Fans who contribute to this monstrosity won’t be compensated even one cent. Have we learned nothing? Looking at you, Amazon.

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
