I posted a guide for folks that have had their stories stolen and posted to one of those text-to-speech YouTube channels. Folks running those? Y'all can eat my entire ass.

New story up on Lit, about neurodivergence, and why it might not always look like people think. Also, about infidelity, revenge, and forgiveness, but that's par for the course, amirite?

remember when everyone blamed the plague of catalytic converter theft in portland on the homeless?

and then it turned out to be a small ring of professional criminals — led by a man LIVING IN LAKE OSWEGO?

this fact should be immortalized, it should be engraved on a shrine that is also a shelter.
Police: Portland area crime ring trafficked 44,000 stolen catalytic converters; 14 indicted
The thousands of catalytic converters, stolen since early last year, had an estimated street value of more than $22 million.

Forgot to post yesterday, but my latest story is up for Geek Pride at @literotica.com. As its name suggests, the story is a take on the classic hall pass archetype. It's long (arguably too long), but I think worth it; given the 4.15 rating in Loving Wives, other folks seem to agree. Check it out!

The future!
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?
