Rob MacWolf, Werewolf Hitchhiker

It cleared up for me after I closed firefox, made it try to reload messages, and then restarted firefox.

I support Gavin Newsom in everything but politics.

I have three stories eligible for Cóyotl Awards nomination for Best Short Story. 😊 They are my feel-good story “Fraternity” for Pride Month, my historical story “Sanctuary From the Cold” for @furryhistficsoc.bsky.social’s newest volume, & my spooky fic “Just Another Echo Between Rest Stops”! 🐾📚❤️

As an American with two trans friends who've already had to flee the country? Please don't go that far.

Got #2 of our dev team characters, this time it's @writing.dog !

Sandy's writing is easy to spot. Basically whenever there is a section where none of the words in a sentence are words you've ever heard before, chances are it's because Sandy dug 300 pages deep into a period source again.

Love ya.

I mean, in real life cops convince civic administrations to commit WAY more money to WAY less real crimes all the time.

Seattle PD, as recently as a couple years ago, was still raiding gay bars on suspicion of "having shirtless men in them" crimes.

Seems perfectly plausible to me.

REMINDER: I'm not ready to start releasing chapters yet, but the next story will be appearing soon in the serial fiction tier on SubscribeStar: subscribestar.adult/posts/2360344

I have three short stories in the running for potential nomination for the Cóyotls

Butt on the Cock-Toweler.

So. On the one hand, deity quite deaf To pleas for mercy that I shall not send. And on the other, faith incompetant To know the first thing of its deity. Perhaps Divine Omniscience sees a way Out of this contradiction. It may be. If so, I beg He keep it to Himself. It is long decades past the time when it Ought to have been presented, when it could Have still preserved efficacy of grace, Have done my achilean soul some good. I have my pagan gods. I have my place Beside them in some afterworldly wood. I have the faith I built me to embrace My soul as is, not as it ought to be. Go you your made-straight way. For I am free.

You can see I've put some thought into the question, over the years.

If you are queer, and still hold to some faith Of whatsoever christian sect, then I Have no desire to undermine with doubt What must remain a precious source of strength, And must have been most difficult to keep. So please do not regard what I must say As aimed at you in any sense or way. If you are straight and christian, then the work Of grappling with this doubt is all on you. I do not care what soul-dark nights you search. I will not lift the first finger thereto.

I was taught, all my life, that God was love, So loved the world He gave His Only Son, Infinite, Inexhaustible, and pure. I was told, also, that He hates me: not Me in particular, for those who taught This catechism knew not I was gay, But that He hated those I could not help But one day come to count myself among. Of course there were a thousand actuallys. I haven't searched them all, but I have searched Enough of them to call them all dead ends. They all boil down to: “God does not hate you He only hates the part of you we hate! He only hates whatever part of you Without which you are not yourself! If you Would only not be you, but someone else Who we imagine that you should have been, Why then, you would receive the love of God!" But rationalizations are worth naught. There's not a one of us who does not know The contradiction cannot be sidestepped. They claim God does not hate us. And they act As if God hates us. What to do with that?

Perhaps God hates us. Very well, what then? Why, very little. If God's as they say: Omnipotent, Eternal, in control Of all there is to all the universe The same way that a writer weaves the ways Of fate and freedom for his characters Then what is there for us to do? We are As fully foredoomed as would satisfy The loftiest of Calvin's self-regards. What purpose, then, to worship such a god? No prayers will change that I am gay. I tried For score and sixfold years. Nor no more will The finite prayers of finite mortals weigh For anything against infinite hate. If I were God, and there were some I loathed Why, prayers from them would likewise loathsome be. A word of dear affection that from one You love is sweet and precious, does turn rank And vile when it is sent by one you hate. So in this case, it would be for the best To live as do the beasts that perish. Love As long as I am able. And at last Face God and walk me backward into hell.

Perhaps the contrary is true, and God Does not hate us. What happens to the claim That those who us have persecuted sore— For there is no one point of christian thought More durable, more unanimous than Their phobia, it is the legacy Their faith has left on world history— Do love Him, that they His commandments keep? Is not the point of christianity That those who live it faithfully become Like God? Like sons of God? What sons are these Who hate what God their Father hateth not? For if God does not hate us, then the faith That follows Him seems plainly not to work. What purpose, then, to keep to such a faith? To congregate with those who, if they saw My true face, would it excommunicate? Far better, then, to strike out to the wilds That they call 'hell,' by which they mean 'the place That lies outside our walls, and must therefore Be all the same, and nothing but torment' And go whatever way I find me there.

To put it more accurately: if christians were right about what their god wants, and if being a Christian is about doing that, then practicing Christianity was simply and provably not working, because they claim their god doesn't hate LGBTQ+ people and then act as if he does.

I mean... figuring out that I was gay. It's pretty simple.

I know I've said it before, but I now completely get why the ancient greeks went out of their way to codify that "thinking you were too important for the consequences of your actions" was the worst sin it was possible to commit.

Finished up Scars of Golden Dancer by @nighteyes.bsky.social and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Naji and Zayn were really interesting characters and their slowly evolving connection throughout the story. I haven't seen much set in the middle east and that was down really well. Definitely recommend!

She teaches the humanities, too. Clearly this is for a unit on Dante's Divine Comedy.

One of them was selling something called "generated investment assets" and refusing to explain what those were. That has to be just "all my apes" again, I have to think.

A podcast I listen to changed something about their uploads so the ads are no longer blocked, and my gods: over 75% of all the ads are "AI is literally magic, it will make your business successful in ways and for reasons it is forbidden for you to ask about, just shut up and pay us for it."

Topical!

The cover of "The Wideness of the World" early modern anthology. A group of furries in 18th century dress share stories in a tavern.

It's award season!

My story "Sanctum Scriptorium" was nominated in the short fiction category of the Ursa Majors. If you liked it, you can vote for it, and all your other favorites, at ursamajorawards.org

I mean, it's not like she was that much LESS racist, so.

Even if you can't, please retweet. I need to find someone as soon as possible.

stand up for us before it’s too late, cis folks.

Cassie and Swan Boy are kind of genuinely perfect for eachother.

The BDSM romance in question just got nominated for a literary award, I would argue that's pretty definitive proof that a substantial segment of the target readership did indeed appreciate being made aware of my fantasies.

Intro screen from Bad Dudes, but the text reads: The president must pay for his crimes! Give him what for, Champion!

ADHD had an idea and oh no now I've got 76 image files sitting on my computer waiting to be distributed. Thanks deathgenerator.com @foone.bsky.social ! #FFXIV

The one thing I was most surprised to discover in writing a gay BDSM romance novel was that there does not seem to have ever been, in real life, an actual gay bar called The Ball Pit.

Just offering this observation apropos of nothing.
