Well. The love story between two of the characters in Glassblade just got depressingly more relevant.

So uh. Subscribe to my newsletter, if you want more of that.

The Lion does not concern himself with the opinions of those who don’t re-rack their weights.

If it feels to you like since 2020 and the start of the pandemic everyone has just gotten a whole lot meaner, and that that meanness has not receded, you’re not insane. 1/

One person getting into Warhammer is a lot moneywise.

Three people in one house getting into it is…

… is. Just is.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

At the risk of bringing drama over from the clock app, hey authors you really shouldn’t be shitting on readers of a genre you don’t like and you especially shouldn’t be calling Romantasy readers stupid or saying that they’re perpetuating patriarchy because that’s… fucked up.

Yeah don’t do that.

There are a lot of people who fundamentally don’t know what they’re about and resent people who do.

Applies in a lot of different corners.

The wrong question is “why did this awful thing go on so long when many people knew it was wrong?”

The right question is “for how much of the history when that thing was persisting did anything that was sufficiently 1. Organized enough, 2. Capable enough, and 3. Willing enough, exist to stop it?”

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Welcome to being a woman.
Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

This is terrifying and it won't end with sex workers

They are coming for ALL of us

We need to start putting massive pressure on payment processors again & demand that they process payments for all legal content
Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

Is it just me or has there been a rise of websites lately that tell you to click on a thing to fix a problem but the thing doesn’t exist?

Same.
People see huge backlists and assume that means people are raking in cash but I am telling you, esp writers who have been at it for twenty years: the book you buy might be the only sale for that title all month long. I've got old stuff that only sells one or two copies a year.

The worst thing that can happen to an academic term is for it to break containment and spread into broader pulp culture consciousness. Overuse, misuse, and a term being rendered useless are the inevitable results.

Every. Damn. Time.

I chose my detachment for Grey Knights entirely on the fact that its rule has the potential to make my armored sword boys do sword stuff better.

My headcanon for why Garran Crowe resists the Blade of Antwyr is because he’s such a sword dork who only cares about swords being good swords that it doesn’t even occur to him to use the demon swords world-destroying powers. It’s a sword why would he use it for anything other than sword things?

After some consideration I’ve decided that author notes on each chapter needs to be a higher tier on the subscription plan when I launch it next month because man writing these for all 40+ chapters is not easy. #booksky
