Hi all!✨ Finally introducing myself here. I’m non-binary and a writer, artist, gamer, and polytheist. I’m currently working on a queer sci-fi story and also working towards learning Spanish and Quechua 💜

Hoping to find #masseffect and #dragonage friends too! They’re some of my favorite games ever ✨

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

I know that there's *so much* going on, but if you have a second to make an additional call to your congressperson, PBS needs our help.

Head to ProtectMyPublicMedia.org for a guide on how to fight back and save public broadcasting and its important educational verticals.
a screenshot of a post from NOVA PBS official. It reads: Dear Friends, If you are a fan of NOVA, we’re asking for your help. Last week, the White House asked Congress to rescind funds appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Congress now has 45 days to consider and vote on the proposal. If it passes, the impact on NOVA – and all the public media you value – would be devastating. If you believe in NOVA and our mission to make science accessible to all Americans, the most important thing you can do is CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE. Go to ProtectMyPublicMedia.org for easy steps to take. And please share this information with your friends and family, because at this crucial time, every voice matters. With gratitude for your viewership and support, Julia Cort and Chris Schmidt Executive Producers, NOVA

even though LA is a sexy news story, neighbors have been protecting neighbors across the country all year and they will continue to. You have a community right outside your door. Care for it.

Happy to say Ive FINALLY finished game of the year edition of Dragon Age Inquisition!

It was my second playthrough and I made plenty of decisions complete opposite of what I did before to see how the story would lay out. I have to say it was a very fulfilling game, glad I gave it a 2nd chance.

We need to come together & ensure the important work of protecting lands, waters, communities, & cultures continues on.

Fear-mongering tactics won't suppress the movement. It’s time to lock in & move with grounded strategy, ancestral knowledge, & an empowered purpose.

Heads up that the “Learn Latin” guy from Twitter has just set up an account on here.

If you don’t know, this account is a reactionary alt-right trad bro in all the worst ways.

Let’s all preemptively block the bastard & deny him any oxygen. He doesn’t belong here.

If you're worrying about supporting Amazon today or ever, a lot of trans authors are starting stores on Itchio.
pairofclaws.bsky.social Abra, Sexy Hellmouth 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼👻 @pairofclaws.bsky.social · Feb 7
I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.

One thing I absolutely love about itch.io is that it lets me pay more

No, seriously! I love putting in some extra, knowing that it’s going to an indie creator

I’ve recently completed Hercule Poirot First Cases, Sable, Strange Horticulture, Call of the Sea, and am partway through Pentiment and Bootlegger Moonshine Empire and in total it’s some of the best story writing and gaming experience I’ve had in a very long time. Vivid design and intriguing writing
