This is especially galling when you consider there is *literally* a group of early science fiction fans called First Fandom.
That formed in the late 1950s.
And those folks were making and sending out fanzines as early as the 1920s.

just saw someone on tumblr describe HP as “the first fandom” like. I know you people are desperate to keep funding a transphobe bc the thought of reading any other book is too hard for you but this is housewives writing kirk/spock fanfic in carefully xerox’d fanzines erasure and I won’t stand for it

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

What if there was a Hazbin Hotel comic series and I got to do the covers for it?
Imagine that. I'm imagining it. It's nice!

Moxxie after his first major training session. He’s smart, but the Keeshond stubbornness is real, you guys.
But he’s such a sweetheart, I don’t mind all that much.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness ✨
For me, it’s my characters Kimber and Telara. I’m really pleased with how they’ve developed over time, and their relationship brings me so much joy to write.

It’s his day.
Today has been really hard, but I’m glad I have this little guy in my life. I started crying while carrying him to the bedroom and he started licking my face and hands. He hadn’t done that before.
I’m sure he’ll eventually test me, as apparently all Keeshonds do at some point, but I adore him.
