Jaye is waiting in their car for their friend, who is coming out to their family about who he really is, a North American River Otter, and assist in untangling the aftermath.

Today’s story is “Coming Ott” by Geo Holms, who is a raccoon from the internet occasionally writing quirky tales, where inevitably some character is turned from one thing into another. You can find his tales on his FurAffinity @ GeoHolms, along with his collab tales written with a certain spiffin’ bard fox (and maybe others).

Dear restaurant owners, do not link to Facebook. Otherwise, your customers see:

As someone who works in higher-ed and also has taught middle school and high school aged kids, my opinion is not that LLM use is exploding among students because they're lazy or stupid or anything else

it's because our educational system has prioritized a very transactional "do this bullshit, and you get the credentials you need to have a life" approach for

well

maybe forever, really

and no one should be surprised that adversarial approaches by teachers and administrators are being met with an adversarial approach by students

Is there anyone in direct managerial positions able to help me find a job or a lead? I am going to lose everything and cannot land a single interview. Having no income in this chaotic presidency is taking a toll.

A quiet lake. A coyote searching for meaning. A mysterious fox with a timeless smile. In a town that remembers what others forget, two strangers meet under summer’s fading light—and nothing will ever be the same.

It is with great pleasure, and indeed Pride, that we welcome you, friends of every shape, ability, gender, and species, once again to Pride Month.

Today’s story is “Jumping to Conclusions,” a story about growth and choice by Tiberius Rings and Fruitz of Fruitzberg Press, co authors of the trilogy series, "Come to Dust."

A tired note on ethical uses of "AI":

Unfriendly #Pride reminder that rainbow capitalism is better than openly bigoted capitalism.

We *want* them to value our money more than our enemies' money. We want them to be ashamed of their right-wing executives, and to support their queer employees' Pride initiatives.

It helps literally keep us alive. Now more than ever, with diversity and inclusion programs getting shut down all over the place.

@KinkyKobolds yep, I have to travel tomorrow but I’ve been resting up

@crazy_pony thanks :)

Day Three of con crud misery.

I don’t think I’ve felt as tired as this ever.

Head’s still fuzzy, aside from that I’m fine.

All rather strange

It was great running writing panels with fellow authors at ConFuzzled, and I learned a lot by attending others too.

The writing community in the UK is getting more vibrant and diverse.

We’re already looking ahead to 2026, but these are my initial thoughts on the writing tracks this year.

The most millennial post ever

Hey, some fun news! Sir Ian McKellen is headlining an all #trans and #nonbinary reading of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. It’s a delightful play with much playing with #gender and the understanding of it. I’m very excited and am buying livestream tickets. 🥰

A small story about a flamingo and a lion, best friends who are queer as fuck in their own ways, as they tackle an issue I as a person have been thinking about recently.
