🖤 The Emptiness Machine - Part 1.

A lyric comic + an AU where Sanji has had a kind of ”Gollum-Smeagol” situation with Stealth Black for all his life. Tired of being in the back seat Black’s gaslighting intensifies to fully take control. But does Zoro know?

Visit me and this comic at bluesky!🦋

Tell your senators to Vote “No” on RFK Jr

If you can take just one action this week, call to oppose the confirmation of RFK Jr.

Did you know that as a private citizen, RFK Jr has been blamed for the death of dozens of children?

And now he’s Trump’s nominee to lead Health & Human Services, the department in control of Medicare nationwide, ground-breaking medical research at the National Institute of Health, and more.

There’s a good chance we can stop him, but we need your help!

The linked site here when you input your state, will give you the numbers of your senators as clickable links, and a script to say.

Did you not vote and feel guilt? Did you vote and feel angry it didn't matter? Your voice counts here. No, we shouldn't have to beg them to do their jobs, but it's where we're at, and more productive than panic.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

Yeah, potatos were just the first thing that came to my mind, but this goes for everything else too - you can’t have women as soldiers, you can’t have people of color, you can’t have trans people because it’s not realistic. Like first of all, it’s fantasy, and second of all, people saying that are operating on world view that isn’t realistic in itself. Fuck nazis, write what you want, you know?

”You’re fantasy world isn’t realistic because actually in medieval times they-”

Bitch what part of the word fantasy confuses you???? If I wanted to write about medieval times I’d be writing historical fiction, I write fantasy because I want to make shit up up

I don’t care if medieval europe didn’t have potatoes because my world isn’t goddamn medieval europe for fucks sake it’s

M/M Books part 3

More books with happy endings!

Galaxies and Oceans by N.R. Walker

Heartbreaking book about loneliness, learning to trust and accepting help. I don't remember much about this, it's been a couple of years since I last read this but I remember adoring this. I did give it 5 stars! Spicy.

Dear (Future) Husband by P.M. Laine

If you like isekai, wuxia, danmei and awkward bumbling while trying to woo your favorite character, this is perfect book for you! Support an independent author who is also my friend! Little spicy!

Better Than People by Roan Parrish

Roan Parrish is one of those authors who rarely disappoints. This is a read about overcoming anxiety, loneliness and getting dogs. Absolutely heart warming. Spicy.

Haven Heart -series by Davidson King Hug It Out / A Dangerous Dance

Okay. Hear me out. I know these are cheesy AS HELL and take that protective bad boy with a heart of gold and runs with it. Maybe too far. BUT. Over all, it is a solid series if you want crime bosses and mob vibes (I have read books 1-7). The second and third book are best in the series BY FAR.

Hug It Out is grumpy/sunshine romance where other one doesn't want to be hugged while other does that literally for living. A Dangerous Dance on the other hand is rivals/enemies to lovers scenario with two hard headed bad boys. Smutty smutty!

London Calling -series by Alexis Hall Boyfriend Material

I love a good fake relationship, especially when we are flipping off some tropes! Unexpected, funny, adorable and the second book is just as strong. Alexis Hall also rarely disappoints. A bit spicy.

The Remaking of Corbin Wale by Roan Parrish

It's been years since I read this but I do remember loving it. Corbin is autism coded, in a good way (as someone who is non-autistic) and the challenges of dating are done so well.

The Murderbot Diaries -series by Martha Wells

Okay this is not M/M romance by any means. But there are queer characters in the background. I just can not NOT recommend this. Murderbot is so relatable and funny and I love them and A.R.T.!

To anyone who would like to contribute to Brianna Boston’s defense fund, here’s a link courtesy of commenter Just Bob: www.gofundme.com/...

On December 10th, Brianna Boston was on the phone with Blue Cross Blue Shield about medical claims that had been denied. After being given the runaround, she reportedly said “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next”. She was arrested that same day, despite having no criminal record or even owning a gun, by a detective who determined that she was personally threatening BCBS and arrested her with a bail of $100,000. If convicted of the felony of making a “written threat to kill or injure—conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism” she was charged with, she faces upwards of 15 years in prison. She is a mother of three.

We visited the Finnish air force museum today. If you’re into aviation / military history, and happen to be in the Jyväskylä region, I recommend giving it a visit. My favourite part were these delightfully titled dioramas!
