Holy Shit, I Cannot Put Into Words How Much I Needed To Hear This, Hoping Me Sharing This Helps It Reach

Reblog this post if you are professionally diagnosed and you support informed self diagnosis and you hate people accusing others of faking disorders when they have no evidence to support that

So listen i have this book coming out in uhhh 10 days and I am Worried about it, because it is a Comedy, and comedy is really hard to market (why????? it's funny pirates, what's not to like??) even when it is, yanno, normal mainstream comedy.

It is even worse when it is Unhinged Comedy That's Mostly Going To Be Funny To People On Tumblr. (For example, the main character being a supreme gremlin made of 90% memes by weight (examples: carries around a bag that is never called anything but his "little rucksack"; has a near-verbatim "stick me legy out real far" moment; talks about his metaphorical "orphan gruel bowl" which is a direct reference to that one Oliver Twist gif) because those are funny to me personally.) Unhinged Tumblr Comedy is difficult because tumblr is not a platform where it is easy to market things to people, because we are generally violently anti-capitalist and LOATHE advertisements and reflexively resist being marketed to for most anything. I LOVE that about this website. Except for right now, because I have bills to pay and a cat to feed. So look, fellow tumblr gremlins, I am just trying to say that if your personal brand of comedy is laughing at the kind of jokes that could only be produced on this hell website, and:

you like pirates

you're queer and want to read more books by queer authors

you want your fictional queer characters to be a hell of a lot more Messy and Unhinged than they often are depicted as being

you're interested in seeing a love triangle (M/M/NB) that resolves into polyamory

you want books where the hottest character gets to makes Passionate Speeches about rebelling against oppressive institutional regimes like governments and organized religions

you believe that capitalism is the most oppressive institutional regime of them all

you think it's fun when two characters have been in a 15-year-long relationship where the vibes have been "We're Newly Divorced" nearly since day one

you believe that All Cops Are Bastards and want to know what to do when you get pulled over by the boat cops

you think the Great British Bake-Off would be improved with weaponry, ritualized bribery/coercion of judges, and elaborate shit-talk

then this book might be for you. Beneath the wall-to-wall hijinks, it is political and it is righteously angry and it is the funniest thing I have ever written (which is saying something, because I have written some funny shit). It's called RUNNING CLOSE TO THE WIND. Here's a picture of it.

If all that sounds cool, you can read a review of it here and the first chapter of it here to see if it as funny as I am claiming it is, and then if you think that it is, you can preorder it here. It comes out on June 11! Ten days from now!

Thank you for letting me market to you for a minute. Signal boosting would be very much appreciated.

Reading amazing fanfiction, then forgetting to bookmark it

gay furries vs republicans

so the shit with sieged sec and that stupid fucking project 2025 is so funny to me, esp the messages between vio and mike hoewell (misspelled intentionally) which you can find here: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/07/anti-lgbtq-leader-rages-at-gay-furries-who-hacked-his-orgs-website/

because like. the thing republicans like those assholes don't realize is that money can't buy everything, and they can't always bribe the very people they're oppressing into silence or compliance. also assuming all us furries are zoos??? fuckin nasty as shit. and idk if it's just me, but saying smth about the hacker getting "pounded in the ass in federal prison" almost sounded like a threat. could just be me, but it wouldn't surprise me if politicians like that would pay people to assult people in prison

on another note, asking a far-right asswipe what they think about vore is the ultimate power move, made me laugh my ass off. wish we had more people like seigedsec around that aren't afraid and have the ability to stand up to oppressors like that. that being said, i wish all those hackers luck in all their future endeavors now that the group is dismantled.

tldr? republican asshole who's trying to take away lgbtq+ rights got hacked and owned by gay furries and then acted like a whiney baby about it
