Tusk Love is becoming a very real novel! Written by Thea Guanzon, with a cover illustrated by Erion Makuo, the favorite novel of Jester Lavorre herself will be published July 1, 2025.
The publisher's summary from Random House Worlds reads:
As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure. Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack. Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise. Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.

there is not a secret woke and just version of sexual surveillance & perversion hysteria that you can uncover by meticulously tweaking the demographics of your targets
I regret to inform you the dismantling of everything good the government actually does will be done by an agency named after a meme cryptocurrency.
People who want smaller government making a whole new department of government is just truly satirical level.
Also the OMB literally already exists and is supposed to be the department making sure there is government efficiency so redundancy in organizations for government efficiency is like maximum satire
They're apparnetly going to 'advise' the OMB so they can't even bother to make it an actual department. IDK if that's better or worse somehow.
I'm tired and can't remember proper terms so, this dept will have nothing to do with its stated purpose. Every extreme authoritarian regime has at least one govt body dedicated to enforcement of party line/loyalty. It's allowed to circumvent internal dept hierarchies to terrorize federal employees into social compliance. They usually get titled something bland and officious. In this case, the name is a bland, tired pun.
(There is a lot more. Rather than give you all the images, I've copied the full text below.)
- This is actually the most hopeful thing I've read since the election. It's hard to believe we'll all be okay just because we're full of spite or we're on the right side of history. It's easy to believe Trump and his administration is a pile of venomous bucket crabs in clownshoes.
- Take that part about grifters and amateur analysts on the left seriously. Scam artists take advantage of panic and desperation, and a lot of us are feeling panicked and desperate. Also, when people are panicked and desperate, their critical thinking skills suck and they don't necessarily come to logical conclusions even when doing their best. God knows I've fallen for scams and dramatic worst case scenarios. The most important thing is to check your sources and be suspicious of dramatic appeals to emotion (though dramatic appeals to emotion don't mean something is false, either).
- Isolation fries your brain. I know there are lots of ways to wind up trapped in an isolating situation, but reach out to other people- preferably multiple groups of other people- any way you can. Volunteering is a good way to do this.
life is too short not to believe that man is gay
Gay /pos /hj
which part is the half-joke the gay part or the pos part. my friend hannah wants to know
hold on anon she has another question
Eldermourne but it’s actually a children’s book
queer people on this site really make me feel like a confused straight guy at pride. the discourse here could kill a man
"why polyamorous people aren't valid" "mspec lesbians AREN'T okay actually" "aroallos are freaks" "he/him dni. cis men dni" "this post is for non-men only" yessss and the one with long hair goes in the girl box, then the one with short hair goes in the boy box!!
maybe I'm just a boring he/him white guy but inventing about 7 trillion terms to define "man" and "woman" so you can reinforce gender essentialism isn't very "love is love" of you. maybe i just don't have a sexuality but picking and choosing what sexualities are normal and which ones are "weird and predatory" sounds like we're all a bunch of republicans on fox news. if you attend your local pride parade and look REAAALLLYYY closely, you'll notice you can't actually tell if someone's gay or not from their appearance, and there's no way to know if they're "invading queer spaces". maybe it's just me, but when i attended my local gaybar last night for the drag show, they didn't ask for my gay-card with a peer reviewed diagnosis of faggot stamped on it. they just let me in the building. i live a life of bliss and luxury in not caring about any queer discourse ever, and just going "WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY :-)" while booting up the latest cod game. and it seems much more fun than whatever the fuck you people are on about
muting my notifs for this post but i need to acknowledge this first. My favorite tags fr 🙏

It is simultaneously true that it’s best to give trans kids puberty blockers if they need them and that if you went through a first puberty you’re not doomed forever like both of these things are true
Kinda like how breast milk is the best case scenario for a baby but if you give them formula they’ll still be fine you know. Like it should always be possible for trans kids to get the care they need but if you didn’t transition as a kid you’re not doomed you’ll still get great results that you want
Like it’s probably better in many respects to transition before puberty but also it’s not too late to transition until you’re dead.
If the only thing stopping you from transitioning is that you didn’t transition as a kid then that’s not strong enough of a reason, bud. Come out when you’re ready but you can still transition very successfully at any time you want.
If you’re a teen in a situation that doesn’t let you medically transition whether because of your parents or because of the laws where you live, don’t lose heart. It sucks that closed minded adults are making you go through that but you’ll still make it there one day and it will be even more beautiful than you imagined.
