they're going to get eaten (non-con variety) and i can't wait to watch in a fully titillated fashion
i reached out for some clarification around the Wet Screams monster anthology guidelines, since I and several author friends were confused on what might disqualify a submission, and wanted to provide this heads up for anyone who might have been considering.

This advice goes to old bsky users too.
In terms of advice for new bsky users:
Assume an open and playful posture instead of a tedious and pedantic one, and also remember that you don't have to suffer anybody else's bullshit if you don't want to.

I've been warning about the possibility of cops using LLMs to do paperwork & all the horrible implications thereof coming down the pipe, & here the fuck we are.
You want sources for what I've already said, look up my name with the words "policing" "AI" and "bias." Should get you several. So tired.

Bluesky is great because the worst people on earth could be posting here and I’ll never know because there is no algorithm or “trending topics.” I see things I wanna see and rarely see anything against my will. 👍🏻
I’m not saying leaving Twitter fixed my mental health but nine months after leaving I no longer need anti anxiety medication.

Our first look at the nation's largest census of transgender people in the US is finally here. With over 90,000 respondents, the USTS finds widespread poverty, homelessness, and discrimination--and near-universal (>95%) satisfaction with gender-affirming medical care ustranssurvey.org
US Trans Survey
The U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS) is the largest survey devoted to the lives and experiences of transgender people across the United States. The USTS was created by trans people, for trans people.

The amount of times people have used SHE HAS A CELL PHONE to wonder whether or not that mother needs SNAP.
Everyone has a fucking cell phone now. If you don't, you can't work, and secondhand cell phones are a thing.
Stop hating poor people, you abhorrent shits.

Also if you can't answer the very basic question of "why?" in reply to your request for (free!) help writing a trans character, you maybe... Should not?
