#DVPARTY day 6 new WIP!
Losely based on Fame: In the mid-80s with Live Aid rising and AIDS looming, a shy gay teen in London and a bold bi singer in New York connect through a music mag ad. As they chase fame and trade letters, they fight for identity and love in a time that fears both.

#DVPARTY Day 4 memes: Two cats. Four amber eyes. They stare at me. My mind immediately floods with images of countless others watching: classmates, random people on the street, Julie. Every time their hateful, disgusted gazes fixed on me, I longed to sink into the ground and disappear.

#DVPARTY day 4 a sweet one: I whirl around, my wet Vans almost sliding on the floor, trying to get as far from that beast as possible—and tumble straight into two strong arms.
I jerk back. A boy my age stands in front of me, his dark brown face framed by cornrows, eyes wide and locked on mine.

One rumor wrecks his career
One boy makes him feel safe
One song could ruin them both
When gossip won’t quit, 17yo Brent drops an anonymous track. But the world connects it to the closeted football star at his side—and redemption might out the boy he’s falling for

What if the only boy who makes you feel safe is the one you could destroy?
Canceled in the US, demi singer Brent hides in Amsterdam. But one anonymous song going viral could out the closeted football star he’s falling for.
Think: LOVE, SIMON x RADIO SILENCE x IF THIS GETS OUT

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

Counting down 30 days of PRIDEful comics! These are my personal choices and in NO WAY is this meant to be some complete list or ranking. I also refrained from choosing more than a few Marvel or DC books because they get enough spotlight. Enjoy!

I am baffled, but especially appalled by the fact that, in 2025, John Boyne still gets read.
He is a passionate follower of the TERF witch. Is this not a known fact?
