Blood sharing is kind of… personal. What do you mean it’s personal? The Vampire Diaries 4.02 ‘Memorial’

Current mood.

Over 160 creatives are coming together (thanks to the incredible work of Rebecca Rathe 🩷 and Darcy Bennett PA) for a huge auction to benefit Trans Lifeline! I got a sneak peek at some of the books and services being offered and it's gonna be epic. Mark your calendars for March 16-21!

My offerings are a pair of signed paperbacks from The Rade series AND a big, beautiful band poster featuring art by @linnpuzzle. For the digital/international bidding, a copy of an Alchemiya book bundle! Stories that feature trans characters and lots of love.

Silent auction 'Romance Community For Trans Rights' hosted online at 32auctions.

💥My first ever series, SUPERPOWERED LOVE, is available everywhere--but the box set is only available at kateyhawthorneshopcom. It's usually 50% off what it'd cost to grab them individually.

🔥This month, just because, I knocked an additional 33% off, making that $17-ish for 15 reads. 10 primary novels/novellas and all 5 of the in-between stories.

🧊If you like superpowers but maybe want something less straight-up superhero (mostly) and more secretive, check it out! Enter code KYQ8RQ7 at checkout OR just click here:

FOR MARCH 2026, use code KYQ8RQ7 to get an extra 33% off at checkout! (Making that 15 reads for $16.74!)Queer, spicy, adventurous, swoony, T

and it'll already be entered.

⚡Enjoyyyyyyy the wild ride.

honestly, especially in the current state of the world, you all have GOT to kill whatever puritanical voice inside your head keeps insisting that if something is erotic it has no social, artistic, or intellectual merit.

stop acting as if someone can’t enjoy both erotica and literary fiction or classics. it’s not some dichotomy.

stop acting as if erotic art can’t be poignant and meaningful. and that includes all erotic art - not just fine art.

stop insisting that sex scenes or erotic material ruin movies and shows just because you, personally, get icked out watching it.

no, not all erotic art is high art, and not all erotic art is meant to invoke deep intellectual discussion - but insisting that makes erotic art valueless, a disservice to intellectualism, or whatever else - does nothing but add fuel to a fire built on conservative ideology.

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Well, have I got the html for you!

Plop any of these in a comment (by copy&pasting the code) to make an author's day and show your appreciation!

Second kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/tHMjbb6/second-kudos.png" alt="second kudos">

Third kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/52bggQH/third-kudos.png" alt="third kudos">

nth kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/6y7qGtC/nth-kudos.png" alt="nth kudos">

yet another kudos: <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wKtcj0s/yet-another-kudos.png" alt="yet another kudos">

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):

Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)

bizarrelittlemew

So happy to see people enjoying these and spreading the love 💖

UPDATE with some suggestions from the replies! And bonus: cookie kudos.

HTML codes under the cut.

I'm looking through powerpoint templates for a class presentation and was absolutely blown away by this one. I don't care what the topic is supposed to be, all of my future powerpoints have to have the Wizard

if you’re wondering why spellcheck and grammar check is worse now, it’s because they replaced it with AI! 🥰

now, instead of maintaining a comprehensive, nuanced, and human-maintained encyclopedia by which to check your document, they have switched to an AI that just compares what you’ve written to what other people write in, say, Google Docs, and use the most commonly used iteration.

ever have it change something like “all intents and purposes” to “all intensive purposes” or “should’ve” to “should of”? that’s why!

people make the same spelling and grammar mistakes so often, AI thinks that’s the way you say it because it is a PATTERN DETECTOR and cannot THINK let alone use language.

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

cyberneticnightmares

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.

do you ever draw something for yourself that’s so deliciously self-indulgent that you just sit there like
