My new trans-centric queer magical girl sequel novel, "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," is out in ebook, print, and audiobook formats in many places. It's big, gay, emotional, and fun! You should read it (+ the first book too)! Claire & the team deal with new threats & new friends! magicariot.com/fullbloom
Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," featuring text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple. The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower. Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head. Across the top, artwork of the five main characters of Magica Riot in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "tall hot evil sorceress," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "sinister tech company," queer identity journey," "polyamory adventures," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." Text reading "The next adventure of Portland's queer magical girl rock band" is next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"

One of the results of corporate consolidation is that now every company is actually just the same 5 companies, and all 5 are owned by Epstein associates.

Like, *one* high ranking exec is found in the Epstein files and bam, that's like 200 seemingly totally different products and brands.

LOOK AT THESE TWO CUTIES! Everybody's favorite trans magical girl drummer Nova, and everybody's favorite agender enby hacker Hikari! Hikari's showing Nova "videogame stuff" with their 300 hour save on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP. They sure seem a little blushy!

Nova is a trans magical girl with blue twin tail hair and blue eyes, wearing a pink t-shirt that reads "National Punch a Nazi Day 2025" and jeans. Hikari is an agender enby in a black shape-concealing outfit with cyan hair, amber eyes, and black frame glasses, holding a PSP and looking nervous as Nova leans in close to them.

We're living in literally the opposite of a meritocracy: a society that rewards rich parasites, punishes the innovator, denies the working class legitimacy, & pushes everybody to the breaking point to achieve less than nothing. The sole purpose of it is to keep the economic system going...

One way I thought of to sum up the current conservative movement was that they thought they could say it's okay to use slurs again and everyone was going to be on board

Hikari codes it so whenever you try to hit the "Skip" button on their dialogue, the button moves before your cursor can hit it.

Everyone is posting non-English language bangers and yet I've yet to see anyone post one of the greatest things to ever happen to the internet, so I'm leaving it here. When was the last time you listened to this certified fucking banger?
