I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic
I still have writers block for the two longer projects I’m working on so I guess it’s time to buckle down and write some porn.
I too wish you were home writing your disgusting shit haha

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky
I have a completely normal level of love for Starfleet Academy, y'all.
Really, completely normal
One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*
I don't want to be politically engaged. I want to read books and watch Star Trek. Unfortunately, the world.
I feel this and it’s awful.
People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?
You do not need to advertise your kid music class with an ai poster. I know you’re not made of money but you can throw something together in canva! Take a photo of the instruments and slap some text on it and baby, you’ve got an ad! You! Don’t! Need! Ai!!!!!!
Two Documentaries That Explain This Moment in Libraries and Book Censorship
The Librarians and An American Pastoral together are a robust, if imperfect, means of understanding this censorship moment.

It’s so fucking depressing to see someone in a creative profession use ai to advertise.
Very cool how every day the tension in my brain between “how the fuck can you care about dumb shit that makes you feel a little better at a time like this” and “this dumb shit is providing a sense of meaning and staving off total emotional collapse” is rising toward truly untenable levels
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
all the the mighty and morally superior “West” knows how to do anymore is murder children
I’m so sorry friend, what a nightmare. I wish you rest and healing 🫂
I live deep in the Kirk/Spock fandom and there is a conversation I think VERY few people in media are equipped to touch about how many queer women write and read m/m, with a different lens from either cishet women or queer men. we literally did a whole fan con panel on why lesbians love Spock 😂
They were the best we need them back 😭

Get out there and start falling on your ass!
I hope we’re able to keep touch here!!
you know. six weeks ago if you asked me i would have told you i liked the snow. that's what i would have said to you.
I was literally just thinking of you. I’m so so sorry to hear this. I hope you get some answers and feel better soon 🫂❤️
This looks super fun! Star Trek folks you might be interested! They also had a few other panels that I KNOW some of you would be into
I was so happy to be a part of this!!
Nothing more jarring than seeing some shit like this juxtaposed with some U.S. news at 6:30 in the morning fml
I know there's a ton of people yelling about the Discord Age Verification thing already, but i'm gonna join in regardless.
These folks keep trying to do this under the guise of making children/teens/vulnerable folks "more safe".
There is a huge problem with this logic.
Spoiler alert: Elon Musk will not build a colony or an outpost or so much as an outdoor toilet on the Moon. Not in ten years. Not in twenty years. Not ever. When your dipshit friend or relative expresses excitement over his announcement, just change the subject. There's no point. It's a cult.
This might be a hot take, but if parents are so concerned about what their kids see online, then they should actually do some damn parenting themselves instead of campaigning for governments to make things worse for everyone.
