I'm starting to realize some similarities to my stepdad. He would always play the exact same game, in the exact same way. He never challenged himself, he never branched out, he just wanted to win.

WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

Allistic people really need to stop phrasing requests as questions because it's fucking with me

"Do you want to help me cook dinner?"

No, I'm still overwhelmed from earlier and want to stay in my room.

"well fine, dinner will be ready when it's done." And now they're upset with me

And I'm just here like ???????

System culture is filling out those alignment chart memes people use for characters/ocs/etc but for your headmates instead.

i think the hottest look you can give someone after they commit acts of unspeakable violence is approval. like don't get me wrong if there's lust there too that's great, but staring at someone with gore dripping down their chin and coating their hands to the wrists with undisguised appraisal and admiration. maybe giving them a little nod as if to say 'well done'. THAT'S what says "yeah we're gonna fuck nasty later".

Wait, fuck!! Is this why I no longer get tummy Tuesdays? Those were so good for seeing body types who didn't fit the unattainable goals set by haute couture.

I had an upsetting dream last night.

I saw an otter briefly hop on top of a babirusa at the zoo and when the stranger standing next to me heard my camera shutter click he turned to me with this look of immense relief, put his hand to his chest, and said in a dead serious tone “oh thank christ someone caught that on film”

LESBIAN GIRLGROUP NOVEL OUT NOW

Here she is, my pseudo-dystopian, psychological-horror-adjacent, gay-ass girlgroup novel is now officially OUT in the world!

AMBROSIA follows an international superstar and second-most-lucrative member of her girlgroup from the point where she's a grossly ambitious teenager being broken down and reshaped by the industry's leading celebrity training program, to the peak of her career where she's lost herself in the big diva persona of Ambrosia, bleeding from her nose more than is usual, and hiding a shaved head from the world.

It's a seven-year long story of management-dictated shower times, performance-enhancing drugs, and ill-advised affairs with beloved and behated group-mates, told in increments by a semi-reliable narrator over the span of only the one fateful day where a life in service of being looked at finally translates into clawing out eyes.

If that sounds like your 🫵 kinda thing, you can grab a copy of AMBROSIA from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Blackwells, or wherever else you get your books from! Bonus points if you ask your local bookstore to order it for you!

You can also add AMBROSIA on Goodreads and/or read the first couple chapters for free right here!

Thank you for your support and thank you, as always, @shalida for the incredible cover. Artwork of the Moxxy girls by me!

I really appreciate this. I struggle to orgasm generally, and I have some partners who do the same. I have found that I prefer the experiences where we just enjoyed the time together at our own pace much more than I have when we've tried to hit orgasms. Like, I love the high of being all aroused and then cuddling them. It's so intimate, and it helps with my anxiety of sexual performance.

In order to stop the culture of faking orgasms, we need to stop the culture of shaming others for their sexual experiences.

Can’t get your partner off on the first try? Cool. You can still be thoughtful and make them feel good.

Can get your partner off within 30 seconds? Awesome, good for you both, don’t let it get to your head.

Can make someone cum in less than 5, but for others, it’s a process that takes an hour? That’s alright, everyone’s different. 

Does it take you 30 minutes to cum? That’s okay, you’re not broken, you’re not a failure.

Does it take you 10 seconds to cum? That’s great, you’re not a slut, you’re not overly sensitive or dirty. 

Can’t cum without toys/vibrators? That’s awesome, that’s a valid part of sexual play!

Can only cum with loving, vanilla sex? That’s perfectly normal, and you will find lots of great partners to experience that with!

Can’t orgasm at all? THAT’S ALSO COOL. It’s not a bad thing, you can still enjoy sex TONNES just like others.

Orgasms are NOT the defining characteristic of your sexual prowess. They are great, they’re lovely when they happen, but for the love of science, stop bringing them up higher than they need to be.
