Oh, the worst is going to the page of someone who passed away and seeing "Happy birthday! Enjoy your day!" posts.

I know it’s not healthy to be so angry all the time but also β€œstay angry, little Meg” runs through my brain like a lifeline these days

β€œNo,” the woman said in a clipped, cold tone.
With no more warning than that, the door was slammed in their faces".

#ProjectAO will give you an entire book about the best lesbian moms hunting down their lunkhead son. I am stoked. What are you looking forward to?

Then her gaze shifted to Kia. To the Crimson eyes, the Vine wings, the chain around her wrist marking her as a captive. Kiarian could almost see the dawning realization and horror as she reached the correct conclusion about who Kia was.

β€œWillow, I don’t think this is a good id—”
The door opened. On the other side stood a tall, thin, pale-skinned woman with dark gray-streaked hair, Copper eyes, and too much jewelry. She looked up at Willow, smiled, and squinted at the bruise over his eyes. Her smile turned to a frown.

A House of Wings will release in a few months and I thought it best to give a snipped from Book 2 - a reminder of the moms' first appearance.

My co-author, the Plotmom of #ProjectAO, posted on Tiktok a rather good set of questions.

What are your answers?

Now that the winter olympics are over and the Americans are indeed being jerks again, as we often/always are, it's a great day to revisit this evergreen banger from @katebeaton.bsky.social: www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id...

A) can’t wait for this movie bc long live Gorillaz and B) the smarmy way the radio host is like β€œoh so you’ve NEVER used AI??” And Jamie and Damon both laughing and being like β€œlmao no” is the energy we should all have for these losers

"These bills aren’t about removing books; books are just one of the tools. These bills are about the complete and total erasure and removal of queer people from American life."

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

Not true, but what's even weirder AND TRUE is that Elle King (of Exes and Ohs fame) is Rob Schneider's daughter.

This fucking headline.

The article itself is actually a fairly thoughtful piece from an autistic writer herself, but if they'd tried putting that title on something I'd written I'd be bloody furious

Goddammit!🀬

There's a decent paycheck waiting for any cis writer who wants to write chin-stroking articles about trans 'issues,' but a couple of quarters and a cigarette butt for the trans writers standing on the media corner with the sign reading "Will write about my people for food."

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater".
She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

A digital waist-up artwork of a feminine smiling character with one hand touching their jawline gently while being under the apricot tree with a graveyard in the background. They have a warm green complexion, auburn hair styled into two bubble braids, intense orange eyes and branch-like horns sprouting from their head decorated with autumn leaves. She has a few moles on her face, especially two above her lips on her right; round orange berries hanging from her pointy ears.

The colors are somewhat warm and dark with orange accents being most intense. There's a watermark at the bottom left corner: "hortensjjja" with a cute frog logo.

What’s a comic you’ve read recently that made you go β€œWow”?

Tini Howard and @babsdraws.bsky.social's Sirens: Love Hurts. It's full of bright colors, amazing outfits, girly gossip and four bad bitches doing detective work. It's gorgeous, funny and intriguing and unapologetically for who it's for.
