Good Omens Textposts Part 2

Been relistening to the ol original Eighth Doctor audios w friend and we got to Stones of Venice today :)

Figured I would show u guys my new hobby! I’ve been learning embroidery and just finished this mushroom kit I got on Amazon. It’s really fun and relaxing, and it’s nice to create something with my hands <3

If you want to buy some kits from a small biz, I love the Cozy Blue shop! She makes lovely things to embroider: https://cozybluehandmade.com/collections/embroidery-kits

Thank you so much I will have to check them out!

everyone say in the tags what their current custom discord status is

Letterkenny can be summed up as "Everyone wants to sleep with the most autistic guy in town" and I think that's beautiful

the three of them are friends bc they're all autistic

Inktober 9…the descent into fluffy A/C continues, will our hero be able to climb out of this pit of shmoop? 

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️

wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry

Lesbian Funeral Shawls (1981)

Something about lower decks letting their women characters be loud and funny and emotionally complex and flawed and all very distinct from each other in personality and appearance... it's good and you should watch it

Also food for my transfem Boimler agenda: I think it would be funny if Rutherford was the only guy left in the friend group. It starts out 1:1 and then they added T'Lyn and then Boimler transitioned. It's girls night & Rutherford. And he's having a great time he loves his friends and women

#there was probably dialogue but honestly who cares

"i dont want topless women or leather daddies at pride" then why are you going. like be really fucking serious why are you going

with the news Gumroad is going to be cracking down on nsfw content due to payment processor pressure, reminder that itch.io is mostly known for games but explicitly allows books/zines/etc too and many nsfw creators swear by them as a host for their paid works. (with the caveat that they do limit this to nsfw content that is fictional, not eg irl porn work, among other content requirements; the full policy is here.)

itch.io is especially noteworthy because their approach to creator/platform split is incredibly flexible; you as the creator choose the split. you can in fact choose to take 100% and give itch.io nothing, only losing out on any payment processor fees. obviously itch does need people to choose to share some revenue with them to continue going, but if you as a creator need to retain your profits to keep going, you can set it wherever you like and itch honours that. and as itch has a culture of people choosing to set it above zero because the community wants to keep it going, if you need to reduce their cut, it's an option!

itch isn't as popular as a platform to share non-game works so promoting your stuff elsewhere is important for visibility. but as someone who regularly buys both comics and books off there, it is very, very viable. here is a basic 101 guide:

now: itch uses the same payment processors that prompted the gumroad changes, and may at some point be challenged on the same grounds. it's not inherently a safe haven. but itch.io has historically made its commitment to working to keep nsfw content viable on its platform clear (look up the epic store apple lawsuit nonsense sometime; it didn’t result in a nsfw ban despite everything) and as of now is still small and niche enough they are not getting challenged the way larger, more generally popular sites like gumroad are; they are not trying to be a big commercially viable site, just stable enough to keep trucking, so they are less likely to be subject to that much scrutiny, or cave to it.

Changeling is available on Itch.io, and I set the payment split to be the same as the other, larger, platforms I publish on for exactly this reason.

The mere fact that they LET me set the payment split, means I'm much more willing to let them actually keep an appropriate portion.
