(Image ID in alt)

It’s giveaway time! Thanks to the generosity of my patrons and payhip supporters helping me out with my recent spate of ER bills, I will be giving away 5 copies of the eBook and 5 copies of the audiobook. (listen to a sample here)

If you’re new here, Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites (Phangs) is the first novel of my queer, polyamorous, paranormal, slow-burn romance series featuring a deaf, disabled werewolf, a neurodivergent, mad scientist vampire and all other manner of creatures that go bump in the night. You can read more about it here.

Set in a pseudo-regency meets fake-Victorian Gaslamp Fantasy world, complete with gothic castles, enchanted forests, and just a smidge of industrial coal dust, Phangs has been described as “like reading the queer, goth love child of Terry Pratchett meets Jane Austen.”

There are two editions of the novel, a high-heat version (Flirting with Fangs) with depictions of sex and kink on the page and a medium-heat edition (Fluff and Fangs) containing elements of kink with the sex scenes swapped out/faded to black. You can read more about the differences in rating here.

If you’d like to win an edition of your choice, type either “ebook please!” or "audiobook please!" into the replies or reblogs. If you'd like to try and win both you can feel free to do so.

The giveaway will run from June 5 - June 8th, 2023.

I’ll select the winners using a randomizer. You don’t need to be following me, nor do you need to spam reblogs. Once you’re in, you’re in. Good luck!

And if you miss this round, no worries; I'll be doing another later in the month.

👀👀👀 ebook please!!

tumblr banning the #girl and #weed... huge loss for the three weed smoking girlfriends industry

I’m so mad to the point I’m nauseous 

No. No. No you know what? Fuck you. Not directed at you, original poster. Directed at Tumblr, Apple, all of the greedy corporations trying to make the internet a sterile place by censoring anyone who dares to say simple words, words that are nearly always harmless. Focus on getting bigots and predators off of your goddamn platforms instead of trying to ban overly general words.

You can take my porn. You can take my credit card. You can make me have to look at bullshit discourse. You can leave this site a buggy mess. My favorite game related to dragons is Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. But you can’t take #weed and #girl from me. Why? Because I fucking love weed, and I fucking love women. ALL women. I will fight for women’s rights every goddamn day. I astral project when I’m mad to beat up astral misogynists sometimes. Women are so beautiful. If bringing back the #weed and #girl hashtags cost my blood, I would shed it into your clothes with a smile. If bringing back the #weed and #girl hashtags cost my teeth, I’d pull them out one by one with my own hands. If bringing back the #weed and #girl hashtags cost my sanity, well, I’ve already gone mad!

GIRLS. MADE. YOUR. WEBSITE.  @staff @support​ They’re called Tumblrinas for a reason. Tumblr in 4chumblr was portrayed as a girl for a reason. Girls are the world, and chances are, a lot of the ones who helped this website grow also smoked a shitton of weed! I’m a dude, I know this. If you won’t listen to girls, listen to me. I beat everyone in 8th grade Taekwondo. I’m 6′5. I’ve read Marx. I can lick my elbow. I have an entire journal for manifesting negative energies in Chris Pratt’s life, and I can make another directed to you. I’ve lived hundreds, maybe thousands of past lives. The GODS sealed me in my prime form due to my chaos and power, that’s why I’m here. I was in the YAOI WAR. I destroyed ASTRAL YAOI RONALD REAGAN. The Yaoi War brought a god down to shreds, destroyed him; the ever powerful Dave Scourge-Uzumaki Johnson. It created a powerful devil from the ruins, Aoba Seragaki. You fuck with girls? You fuck with weed? You fuck with ME. I may never know the plights girls go through, but I can fight for them. 

Stoner girls run this site, not you, staff. So give back the fucking tags. 

You’ve messed with the wrong people. 

We are Steven Universe.
We are Voltron.
We are Destiel.

We are the Hunger Games.
We are Yuri on Ice.
We are Gravity Falls.
We are the Onceler.
We are Sans.
We are Weed.

We are those who discovered wearing a fedora makes you an asshole.
We are the Mishapocalypse.
We are the ones who fought against coffee shop Bronies.
We are the Down with Cis bus.
We are Alexandria’s Genesis.
We are #girl.

We are Tumblr. We will not fall to your tyranny.

This response radiates like metal heated to glowing. It's a raw chunk of meteorite punching holes in the sky. Its energy bulldozes me into the ground. I want to copy it out by hand like it's the Bible and I'm a medieval monk.

Obsessed with whatever is happening in my hometown’s facebook group. 

I know of this woman and these are her interests on Facebook dead serious I swear to god.

I choose to believe each of these is a thing that somehow got Sue banned from a different store

the best way to support libraries is to use libraries. go get a card, check something out. not a big reader? they got movies. they got games. yes, like botw and fallout and let’s go eevee. they also have cds that yes, we workers know you take home and rip to your computer. we also do it. 

if you have a well funded library you might even have access to maker spaces that have 3D printers. or video/audio recording equipment. libraries aren’t these tomb silent homes for books any more. they’re community spaces. they’re full of life and things. 

put a middle finger up at jeffrey bezos and support your local library

did i mention we have printing services that are significantly cheaper than anywhere else? printers are evil, let us handle them for you.

Library worker here and can confirm all of these! I’m at a small-to-medium library and we offer ALL of this:

- wifi hotspots that can be checked out for weeks so you can have internet on the go or at home

- CDs, DVDs, blurays including usually multiple copies of new stuff

- A tech lab with a 3d printer, computers for graphic design and game dev focus, VR headsets, and a soundbooth for recording

- Study rooms for solo or groups

- Printers, copiers, faxes, and scanners for just about anything you need taken care of.

- Including a new printer big enough to make giant posters, maps, and business-grade ads.

- A seed library, both floral and food-related.

- A computer lab programed to erase your data and reading history so you’re never at risk while visiting sites like domestic abuse hotlines

- Laptops pre-programmed with Adobe and Office software so you don’t have to buy them

- Monthly author visits

- Ebooks including comics on tons of various platforms

- Classes for those who want to learn how to or better their computer skills

- Art you can check out to hang on your wall for as long as it’s available, including the work of local artists who get paid for their art, especially if it gets popular and we want even more of their stuff.

- Monthly papers ranging from local newspapers to multi-national magazines on just about any topic you can imagine.

- We used to offer food and drink at a loss but You Know ©

- Notaries with extensive legal knowledge including renters rights, getting you in contact with immigration protection, and contacts with pro-bono lawyers.

- A connection with all the libraries in the state, so if we don’t have something, we can have it shipped to you within a matter of days.

- Books translated into multiple languages

- A donation bin for old books/DVDs/VHSes that often turn around and get sold for two or less dollars

- A food donation site for local food banks

- A “suggest a purchase” section on our site where you can support your favorite indie writers/musicians by suggesting their work if we don’t already have it

- We’re growing butterflies this year, and in prior years we hatched chickens! \o/

- An outreach program for the elderly and disabled who hand-deliver almost everything I’ve just mentioned

That’s a huge list and again I have to stress that I work at a library that’s not considered to be very large. And one of the biggest things we get rated by is not how many books we own but by how many people use all of those services I mentioned. They exist for YOU! Use them!

do you ever read the bio of someone who blocked you and just know EXACTLY why they blocked you ?
