It’s an annoying little truth online these days that sometimes you’re cooked before you even really get started. While some creators get lucky and find a following, or a hate-following (yikes…) others end up just fizzling no matter how much content they manage to churn out. Sometimes
An Ode to the Quiet Hearts of Fandom Never has there been a time without lurkers. The nameless, teeming masses of readers who quietly move through fandom communities with a passive reception of art and writing. Those who kick their feet up while reading late into the wee hours after
Special Thanks to friend of the blog Sage for explaining what exactly was happening to make this non-issue into such a wild little jaunt into clusterfuck land. On October 13th, 2025 Twitter user @luochascoffin tweeted: “reading explicit fics with untagged top/bottom is like playing fucking russion roullette” [sic]
It’s going to take a little bit of time to get to the point where it becomes on-the-nose for me to make tongue-in-cheek references to a particular Austrian painter, but fear not, good audience, for eventually by the end of this particular newsletter edition, I

Because nobody seems to take art seriously anymore, BlueSky, the Twitter replacement after its descent into Musk Madness, has decided to implement new censorship rules. These rules are lazily written, overly broad, and unduly vague. The moderation team for BlueSky could essentially use them to censor whatever the hell they
When it comes to John Boyne, the real question becomes “Where should one begin?” Known for multiple controversies, Boyne has found himself in the middle of yet another and, as is common for him, he’s the clear villain. It must seem strange to most well-adjusted folks to look

First of all, apologies for being a little bit MIA, but I’ve been busily calling, emailing, and writing physical letters to Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Ever since the majority of my work was de-listed on itch.io along with thousands of other titles primarily produced and developed
I feel like I’ve been in a state of functional shock for the last few days. Ever since Itch.io announced a sweeping and perhaps temporary ban on NSFW writings, comics, and games, most of what I host there has been unavailable for purchase along with thousands of other
Last week saw one of the most devastating losses for anti-censorship advocacy online with the censorship of games off of Steam’s game platform. An Australian group called “Collective Shout” managed to leverage the puritanical tyranny of payment processors to force Steam to take down “hundreds” of games they
