5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY!
Tentickle opened in December 2020 (remember 2020? 🤮) so this is to thank you all for helping me to survive 🙏
Win a Made-To-Order of your choice - any size, firmness and colours - and feel free to sprinkle a little extra detail to it, like a cheeky bit of hand-painting 😉

For we are Hookland and we are ghost-full, Changeling-crowned. For we are Hookland in all our weird colours, all our polished charms. At every edge of our borders wonder.

The salt hag's shore is one of coven coves, tidal temples. Waves bring her sea-polished omens, news from far harbours. Her ears hear gossip on distant boats from her gull intelligence network. She knows which plants to gather to resist the wind's rough wooing. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Please stop using the planet destroying slop machine that is generative AI.

No, it's not okay to use it for leftist or progressive causes. You don't stand with the working class or marginalized people by stealing their art without compensation.

The aurora are caused by atoms in the atmosphere being excited by plasma bursts from the sun. Our magnetic field collects all of these particles in an oval around each pole. We were under the oval last week, so we could see the lights almost every night.

I'm not a hardcore furry, but I do have a fursona!

They're a Roosevelt bull elk and I'm not entirely sure why I chose that species? Ever since I moved to the PNW I've been captivated by their... man, I don't know. Their energy? Their vibe?? Something draws me to big ungulate.

Question for #booksky : where are y'all buying ebooks in the UK these days? I want to avoid Amazon if I can, but are Kobo/Google books any better?

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first.

They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure”

The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us.

Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.

Wait, what? I have got to push for that ADHD assessment!
I knew ADHD was a disability... but I didn't know it could cause severe chronic fatigue and pain!?
I've been struggling to find the source of my pain for years and it seems it was this all along? My frontal lobe doesn't want to make serotonin OR dopamine apparently. Good grief.

Hey folks, I'm after a new email provider. Must be secure and ethical, happy to pay for it. Anyone got any recommendations?

Alongside using itchio, you can download all your books from the Amazon website, and Calibre can help you deDRM them so that you do own them, and they can't take them away! It's time consuming, of course, but very worth it.
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

Remember, if someone has the unmitigated audacity to say that spending the weekend reading, drinking multiple kettles of tea, and consuming a scandalous amount of pastries “doesn’t sound exciting”, then your emotional well-being is simply not important to them.

This morning’s sunshine has reminded me of the word ‘philocaly’: a love of beauty, even in the smallest things.

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies:

“What a weird thing to say”

“Do you hear yourself right now?”

“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”

“I won’t let you talk to them that way”

“That’s a disgusting opinion to have”

“Shut the fuck up, dude”
Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

I'm in the process of signing up to be a transcriber for this. As a person with energy issues, and an energy intensive job, I can't go to protests, so this is a great and accessible way for me to get involved.
I'm going to investigate and see if there's a UK equivalent too.

I had to do something with all of my feels, so I made some sigils for trans magic.
