This is the reason why theyre trying to crack down on speech/expression online, and repeal section 230. Its all under the guise of demonizing porn/protecting children but the actual goal is hamstringing peoples ability to do exactly this, counter state propaganda.
I do sort of idly wonder what the impact of everyone having a phone with a camera has done to the tenability of fascist projects like this, especially in the vein this administration is going for - overtly inspired by the 1930s Nazi movement with its very public performances of propaganda.
as @cooperlund.online says, they’re just making content. and a shivering nazi weeping as he has to be helped by protestors away from his failed rally just a few miles away from where folks are enjoying a brisk day of sledding is a propaganda coup

Next up: Seure the Tempered by Rien Gray (reread)

Plowing back through the series, I am upturning layers I missed the first time.

The larger story looms in the background of these lesbian knight tales.

This one’s got some beautiful bondage and a memorable story hook.

Picked up two trans books I ordered from my bookstore today. Magica Riot: Full Bloom by Kara Buchanan & Lesser Hungers by Rien Gray. The duality of transgender literature :D. #samreads. (Also cute girl x nonbinary horror is the relationship between my girlfriend and me, so this too is t4t).

oh no, are publishers getting squeamish about buying queer books right now for some impossible-to-guess reason??

sounds like our books need to get even more queer, relentlessly queer, battle-axe queer, cackling queer

People think I’m exaggerating when I say this, but I have absolutely no idea how to access ChatGPT. I don’t know if it’s an app, a website, or software that I have to download. I don’t care because I’ll never use it. But the people that think it’s universal have no idea how many people are like me.
Until I saw this "challenge" earlier today, I didn't even know how to access ChatGPT.
Having seen how easy it is, I'm even more determined to never use it and mock those who do for their "writing."
Never used ChatGPT for anything. Not once. Never will.

If you hear that a think tank is telling your members of Congress not to say "abolish ICE," here's what you do: contact your members of Congress and tell them that you, a constituent, absolutely do want them to abolish ICE and you wanna hear them say it. Then get your friends to do it too.

My story centers on the complicated relationship queer people sometimes have with their hometowns. Then I throw it in the blender with vengeful demonic queens, mercenary husbands, enchanted tongue piercings and a militia inspired by the Sacred Band of Thebes.

Check it out!!

TERFs discovering this post: "let me explain the rationale for my bigotry I believe exonerates me" lol yeah that's what I'm talking about.
If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

Sensory depth and immersion through prose. Incisive dialogue, also.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀
