It’s not highlighted in the headline but this man is in prison because he is autistic and didn’t read correctly to police when his baby died, which is a terrible reason to be in prison and an even worse reason to be on death row

Fun fact about my least-read book, Cloti’s Song:

It has an on-page abortion (using meditation magic fueled in part by a potion made from radioactive sea slime)

I vowed to include this when Roe was killed and I stand by it.
Cloti’s song a time before romance showing 4 flaming figures and a flaming heart

This is what guys like Yglesias, and everybody else making hay about Kamala supporting transition care in prisons, want to happen everywhere.

EXCLUSIVE: A forced detransition policy had disastrous effects in one Georgia prison, according to the manager of the medical unit there.

The policy is on hold due to a court order requiring prisons to re-start hormone treatments for incarcerated people in GA.

I'm not joking about this. I know large-scale music streaming is very convenient and all, but I do believe it's a net negative on music as a part of human culture.

PERSONA is great. It pulls at the scabbing scar-tissue of transsexual flesh in these existentially terrifying times. It is a modern answer to the desperation, and dark satirical interrogations of Roland Topor's "The Tenant". At times it invokes the same unease found in PERFECT BLUE. Pre-order it.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

So sad to see an article essentially shit on artists for wanting a reliable storefront where they can sell porn easily. Wish folks would think critically on why that is a wish of so many right now instead of just brushing it off as not nessecary or frivolous because it involves porn.

HARD TIMES AT THE APROSTATE CRATER is serializd psychotic-erotic weird-horror for the neverending end times. Wile E Coyote’s Disco Elysium.
newgurlxeno.itch.io/aprostatecra...
Rainbow hyena swirled into a spiral against a violent hot pink background. The title of the book, “Hard times at the Aprostate Crater” is centered, with the author name, “Persephone Possum”, below it The dolphin-pussy of the firmament contracts. Lakes of bubblegum-cum boil in a vast crater at the end of history. Hyena-Man, feral and insane, spends his undying days locked in an endless cycle of Wile E. Coyote cum-denial with the only other living being on earth: The Ωstrich. At the neverending end of the fucking world, what is there to do but beat off the blues and kill that stupid fucking bird once and for all? That is, until repressed horrors bubble up from the tarpits of the old world to finally break Hyena-Man beyond all hope. HARD TIMES AT THE APROSTATE CRATER is a serialized weird-horror hybrid-novel, roadkill tap-dancing at the intersection of Grant Morrison comics, Disco Elysium, Looney Toons, transsexual extremity fiction, and 80s pop diva music. An erotic-psychotic episode for the end times, grasping for hope while circling the drain of despair and collapse.

This is Yves! Prickly, mean, and yet ultimately more pathetic than monstrous, her relationship with Dragonfly is, in summary, complicated. Anticipate some juicy toxic yuri 😌

You can preorder UNLIMITED COMBAT DOLLS here:
tinylesbianrobot.itch.io/unlimited-co...
www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNCDLSDT
Character page for Yvonne 'Yves' Rosemary. Characterizes her as 'would-be assassin', 'exploited augmentation testbed', and 'heart of gold in there somewhere'. Features art of the character on the right, a woman with brown skin, brown hair, and visibly artificial gold eyes, with faint seams visible in her skin. She looks irritated, and wears a black armored suit with orange glowing highlights. At the bottom, the graphic says Unlimited Combat Dolls releases on February 10, 2026.
