there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

Can’t believe this was from 2024 and it is now … 2026. That’s how long this outfit has been haunting me. On a medieval kick rn!

constantly trying to see the inherent good in people is a humiliation ritual that i continue to willingly participate in

wanna hang out [remembers it's rude to put expectations on people] it's cool if not [remembers people like to know they're wanted] but I'd really like it if you did [remembers selfishness is bad] we can do whatever you want though [remembers that handing someone a blank canvas isn't as effective as providing a suggestion to bounce ideas off of] like sucking each others fingers for example

idk if I've told this story on here before but one time I was sitting at my desk at work and a random dog I'd never seen before strolled into my office and curled up at my feet. and I was like oh you are adorable but what the fuck?

then a woman knocked on the door and said "oh I'm so sorry he's a therapy dog he's trained to seek out people in severe distress"

and I was like right okay, just getting my whole life drive-by roasted by a dog then

one day you think: I want to die. and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book. and I want to die turns day by day into want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun, I want a cleaner kitchen, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else. I want to live.

Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit

[toreen-m]

Also there is always the chance that, if enough people find the weird independent media, are loud enough about it and more and more people find it...that it will become a big thing. The big title you want to have.

[carrotblr]

I'm always saying you all gotta support small indie magazines and independent presses!! So like.... you hate Big Hollywood genAI slop enshittification of everything???

Then support small indie literature. Buy their books and subscribe to their issues. You won't regret it!! Publications such as

Neon Hemlock

Strange Horizons

Psychopomp

Augur

Small Wonders

OTHERSIDE

and more! feel free to ask for recs.

So there's your weird media! A lot of this is FREE to read on the internet. BUT you all have the chance to put your money where your mouth is, literally, cuz these small mags and presses are volunteer-run and nonprofit, relying on reader subscriptions/donations + annual kickstarters to cover operation costs. And even with the struggle for funding they manage to pay authors the standard industry rate because they value human art. They always need more readers/subscribers . If you are financially able please consider SUBSCRIBE to these mags BUY their books and SHARE the info to your friends we are in this together stay weird thank you i love you

[ellisnyeland]

I can confirm that Small Wonders publishes weird queer shit.

I would also add:

Heartlines Spec

Haven Spec

Baffling Magazine (Neon Hemlock Press project)

Radon Journal

Seize the Press

Do y'all remember being a kid and trying to read in the car while it was dark outside and your parents wouldn’t let you turn on the light so you would try to grab snatches of sentences when you passed by street lights
