Knights need a combination of brains and brawn. Page Artist @faun-grove proved they have both by correctly answering the Queen's riddle, and was knighted as a result!

commission for @sakokii

[queerbridgertonzine]

As the post suggests, I'm looking to start a Bridgerton zine project focused on the canonical and non canonical queer ships and characters in the Bridgerton franchise, book and show! I've wanted to organise this project for quite some time now and it felt only fitting to do so now we know season 5's focus is on Fran and Michaela !

Whether it's entirely digital or a physical copy will exist is entirely deciding on how the response is, but what I do know is that I would like to put any profit made from the zine into a charity focusing on supporting the Trans community in the UK.

If you're interested in the project, whether as an artist, writer or graphic designer (Graphic design is not my passion</3), the link for submitting your interest/application is in my bio!

Thanks !

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

Do you like my games Butterfly Soup and Pom Gets Wi-Fi?! My new game is ON KICKSTARTER NOW!!

The Crane Rider's Tale is a mystery narrative game set in a fantasy town inspired by Chinese folktales, featuring:

A jigsaw-puzzle-style plot with 5 endings and wild twists

An art style based on medieval Chinese paintings and woodblock prints 

A stat-based dialogue system and skill check dice-rolls inspired by Disco Elysium

Doomed yaoi, toxic yuri, and even arguably a STRAIGHT PAIRING (a career first for me).

Please spread the word and help me bring this game to life!

Preorders of the physical Somnia comics and PDFs downloads are now live on my Ko-fi!

As always, you can read them for free on Webtoon. But the monetary support always helps me out and I appreciate it very much.

Physical version: $15 (+shipping)

PDF: Pay what you want (minimum $5)

Preorders of the physical comics will end on June 15th!

🖤Please share if you can!🖤

[aortic-inkwell]

Only a handful of preorders so far so they will be closing earlier than planned. 🥲

May 30th will be the last opportunity to preorder a physical copy. I won’t be making any more copies for a long while after this.

Do you know anything i can donate to for palestine that's not the gofundmes because the idea of having to choose who needs my money more is just. scary to me they all need it 3: maybe there's a thing that splits/distributes money evenly???? idk but help would be appreciated

Gazafunds actually deals with this anxiety and makes a decision for you if you want. Their home page has a spotlighted fundraiser and the code consider things like how close the gfm is to finishing, when the most recent donation is, etc. So it's randomized to help as many people as possible.

There's also @helpgazachildren which if you donate, you can help multiple people at once since it's a whole mutual aid fund, or at least close to it. Hussam distributes money to people who need it when he's asked.
