Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast

I was able to update regularly until last year, when I started having debilitating health issues that I am still struggling to get under control, which has affected how often I can write.

LiKe WOW.

Now, let me be clear. I update every week. I can and that's a thing I set for myself but thats not normal. Fanfic writers are creating fics FOR FREE. You get it when you get it. You have minimal skin in the game. End of story.

So,to readers who think waiting is a "waste of time" and "move on"?

This is a coming out post to the entirety of my Tumblr.

Hands up who had me being a trans man on their 2023/24 bingo card

What I mean is that it's ridiculous to think that decolonization inherently means mass suffering and relocation, that's what colonization does. Decolonization is recognizing the crimes of colonization, but more importantly, material, political and social steps to give power and self-determination to the exploited native people who were victims of colonialism and imperialism.

It's Launch Day folks! If you can please consider sharing or backing my campaign to get my firs original table top game off the ground to swim in success!

The aim of See Creatures is to build complete animals out of two decks, "tops and Bottoms", and "middles" - solo cards are shuffled into both decks to keep things spicy! You can play this game strategically or for fun, as a group activity or as a solitaire game, and players are encouraged to draw on the box with the metallic marker provided for posterity, or to keep track of high scores! An adaptable, bright game full of jokes and pop culture references, I hope See Creatures brings you as much oy as it has for me.

It’s been a long time; now there is finally a new chapter on the horizon! 🌅

The Blind Date

by Loveismyrevolution

John Watson has been set up on a blind date by his sister Harry — again. He's not very thrilled about that, until the date takes an unexpected turn.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

See the chap with glasses and an incredible moustache in the bottom right? that's Magnus Hirschfeld, the gay Jewish doctor who ran the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Research) in Berlin. It was largely his books, his research that the Nazis burned.

If that sounds familiar, it's because it is the EXACT same rhetoric being rolled out by prominent TERFs for the last few years including, yes, The Wizard Lady.
