god microsoft's security options are abysmal

apparently someone got into my account while I was sleeping and I was confused, 'I have an authenticator app what the hell is going on'

turns out microsoft is like the only platform where the authenticator is an *or*, not an *and*

this piece is a permanent fixture in my brain

robots!
horrific and violent injury!
fistfighting the worse version of yourself! (though this was heavy in F&F so I'm toning it down going forward)
Okay #WritingCommunity, what is a gift you give to yourself in your writing? What tropes or details or motifs do you use simply because you love them?

I love the tiny badass woman trope. I include the trope all the time.

I also love roses, and include them frequently as symbols and motifs.

there's a certain way certain people write fiction about disability that really sets my teeth on edge, and it's an approach that I can only describe as 'educational hugboxing'

in this, portrayal of disability must be constantly affirming, and it must use specific and correct terminology

wife went to use some garlic salt, found it had hardened into a clump

I was like 'I can fix this', grabbed a knife, pulled a chunk of it out onto a cutting board

it sliced like bread dude

too soft to smash and crumble, too hard to use

devastated

If you vote using this list, make sure to remember that A Sea of Silence came out last year and is thus ineligible!

A Mask for the Sun came out this year, as did my shorts Stolen Wings and The Voice on the Other Line ^^

I hope more people will consider @b-saxon.femfactory.tech for a number of categories, Black trans women deserve more recognition IMO.

Not sure what to fill out for some of the @thetransfemininereview.com award categories? Here are my suggestions. Voting closes in a few days. beekian.wordpress.com/2025/12/02/m...

The Transfeminine Review Reader’s Choice Award was begun last year when Beth, who runs the website, noticed there isn’t really any sort of transfem-specialized award. I think it’s…

Does anyone know if there's a good way to confirm whether or not something on your itch page is visible to customers?

I thought checking whether or not it appears in search was enough, but I've just been informed that a story that appears in search for me does not appear on my itch page.

it's so nice to watch a video from a youtuber I've never seen before where it's made immediately clear that they have good opinions, at least to an extent

shit-talking AI bros, throwaway jokes calling nick fuentes a nazi, yes, thank you, hard to say for sure but you're probably not a closet luantic

"Write to match current genre trends."

It's good advice if you want to make money, but how likely is it that you're going to make it big enough for it to matter?

Wouldn't you feel better writing something unique and weird and specific to your voice?

Art is communication, so speak.
what is your least favorite piece of writing advice and why? 👀

Dragonfly's material conditions need to fundamentally change, and for that the world needs to fundamentally change - for a combat doll, any passing solace is just a temporary comfort.

I write so many happy stories 😌

begging writers to understand that 'heroic' is not in and of itself a character trait

we've been so desensitized to heroes in fiction that it's your bingo card free space, a character who is defined by heroism provokes no emotion unless supported by other characters or given other strong traits

I am now a member of the tuesday injection gang

anyone else injecting on tuesdays?

the specific skewering of that specific kind of fail-upward dipshit techbro is why Glass Onion is still my favourite, despite very very much enjoying Wake Up Dead Man
I rewatched glass onion the other night and fuck if that movie don’t hit
here's a hot for Bluesky take: a lot of tech-criticism is so bad and focused on a kind of stupid imagined STEM-humanities culture war that some companies have been able to build whole brands around being "evil tech bros 😈" making supervillain promises despite their shit being vaporware

krile is such an absolute nothingburger of a character and that they keep trying so hard to make her important drives me insane to no end

krile has no notable flaws, odd quirks, or strong convictions

krile's favourite drink is tapwater and her favourite music is 'whatever's on the radio i guess'

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...

I also want Trump to have his P-1000 Ratte, I think everyone who is dumb enough to make a P-1000 Ratte should be allowed to pour resources into it until the rest of the military is starving for steel and lead and copper.

It's a form of harm reduction.
December 23, 2025 at 1:03 AM
everyone is making fun of this because lasers and railguns sound sci-fi but if you know the actual history of the us navy railgun program this is so much funnier

trump wants his p-1000 ratte
The US president said construction of the ships, outfitted with hypersonic weapons, electric railguns and high-powered lasers, would begin ‘almost immediately’. ft.trib.al/q1hjPTh
