Do you have a cool idea for an alien civilisation? A piece of tech, a religious relic, a recipe? Perhaps you want to explore different ways of running a community, different relationship norms, or different bodies. Whatever you've got, we want to hear it!

based on how radical a lot of people who claim to be woke seem to find this stance, i think my most woke opinion might be "children are an oppressed class who need us to stand in solidarity with them to protect their rights and autonomy"
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Please accept this cat tax as an apology! We have to postpone Episode 64 until next week, due to a combination of our perpetual enemies, Real Life Busy and Chronic Migraine. We'll be back next week with the episode - and the result of last week's vote!

This might have been the closest vote we've had since the show began 😂 I'm going to have to come up with a tie-breaker method if this keeps up! Any suggestions?
Tune into Episode 64 this Friday to see which result won! 🤩

So excited for this event on Nov 29th where I'll be talking about all the things werewolves can be used to explore and symbolise! 🐺 ✨
Yes, there is yet more amazing talent joining us for Writing the Occult: Creatures & Cryptids. Today we're introducing @monstrouspod.bsky.social's Hero Owen, a writer & podcaster who's no stranger to the world of cryptids, & who's going to dive into what the werewolf could actually mean.

it's not for your commentary, it's not for jokes, it's not for anything but making sure people who can't see the image can access the same information as people who can. focus on that, and put the rest in a reply.
The point of alt is to help folks who can’t read the post the way you can and so they use screen readers. It’s not there for your commentary. Add your commentary on a thread or something. Not in the alt text.

Sometimes you read a book and it makes you lose your fucking mind. Sometimes that's a good thing - and sometimes... not so much. This week on the Ko-Fi blog, I'm discussing 5 books that, for better or worse, made me absolutely lose my marbles.

Kind of mad I didn't have Hesje immediately whipping out a bag of popcorn and sitting Flissy down to listen to Trav's stammered explanations of why and how they ended up in this particular situation 😂
And I looooved the ending! IMAGINE bumping into an old crewmate as you’re trying to rob them AND they’re wearing a jumper that clearly belongs to the guy who was hunting the person that you’re sure they were trying to get with ? Horrific. Delightful. Let’s GO. (2/2)

🧳 Travelling Light by @monstrouspod.bsky.social (60) I love this show sooo much. I love that the main character in TL really gets their perspective gently challenged by the experiences that they have. I would also turn my nose up at a celebration of fighting but I was won over too! (1/2)
