Me: One of the few people I follow on twitter is Chuck Tingle, I wonder what he has to say about everything?
Chuck Tingle:
[ID: Book cover depicting a muscular, shirtless man standing beside a blue icon with a masculine face photoshopped onto it. Title reads "Manifestation of Twiddor's Rapid Descent Into Chaos Thanks to the Inept Management of a Manbaby Edgelord Pounds Me In The Butt. End ID]
Tingle just cranked out 50k words for a spite story for JKR and I am LIVING for it!
[Image one: Tweet from Chuck Tingle ( @ChuckTingle ): please enjoy new full length adult romance novel (52000 words) in paperback or ebook about the best wizard: TRANS WIZARD HARRIET PORBER AND THE BAD BOY PARASAUROLOPHUS available now also trans rights amazon.com/dp/B08B386R6J ]
[Image two: Cover of the aforementioned Harriet Porber novel; Harriet is front and center, a young trans woman with light skin, long dark hair, and glasses; she has a wand raised in her right hand. Behind her are a mammoth in a wizard’s hat, an anthropomorphic duck-billed dinosaur, and a motorcycle with the head of a woman.]
Chuck Tingle is a gift.
OMG the summary:
Trans wizard Harriet Porber is a master spellsmith who’s found herself in a bit of a pickle. After finishing wizard college, Harriet made a name for herself by creating a hit viral spell, but has since failed to craft a follow up. Now Harriet’s agent, Minerma, is breathing down her neck, suggesting that Harriet take a trip to an island off the coast of England for inspiration.
Hoping for some peace and quiet to clear her head, Harriet Porber arrives to find that her new neighbor, an angsty bard named Snabe from the band Seven Inch Nails, is already there making a racket. This parasaurolophus spellcaster is a bad boy through and through, and with his incredible powers of metamagic, Snabe reveals that this layer of reality is much more than it seems. Could Harriet and Snabe really be characters in a parody romance novel?
Soon enough, these two are discovering they have more similarities than differences: both trans, both strong, and both hoping to create a new spell that will change the world. But with the addition of two devious sentient motorcycles to the mix, Dellatrix and Braco, things start to get complicated.
Now trans wizard Harriet Porber is caught up in a tale of magic and mystery where nothing is as it seems, except for one universal truth: love is real.
This is a 52,000 word bad boy romance novel for adults. It contains some explicit scenes.
what in the fuck is this
looked this up on goodreads and if i had to read these quotes from the book then so do yall
So this is kind of a rip off of the style of novel that Chuck Tingle writes, and he wasn’t super happy about it:
I need you guys to listen so bad, but I’m at least glad people on Twitter are starting to talk about this. The government of Canada is expanding Medically Assisted Death to cull the poor and disabled, and now suicidal and mentally ill (these are usually interchangeable of course here). It is EUGENICS and every single disabled rights organization is against it.
Disability payments are $1,200 a month. The average one bedroom apartment rent in the Greater Toronto Area (greatest pop. area by far here) is $2,000 a month. People with mental illnesses are on months long waitlists to get even a single publicly funded session. Weeks to get privately funded care which costs at least $200 a session. There is no housing here for disabled people. We are in one of the worst housing crises in the world right now.
Doctors are now offering MAiD unprompted to young suicidal people. This woman is 21, a health practitioner literally suggested she kill herself.
This is one of the worst Disability Rights Violations we’ve ever seen in Canada. The government is killing us because it is cheaper than funding healthcare, cheaper than giving people housing and food and basic human rights.
One of the ways the Nazis sold the Aktion T4 programme, which saw disabled, mentally ill, developmentally delayed, blind, and Deaf people, adults and children alike, sterilized at best and outright murdered in a prelude to the death camps in the 1930s was in convincing the German public that there was "life unworthy of life," and that these people were costly, unnecessary burdens on the taxpayers of Germany. Because disabled people couldn't work, so obviously, taxes were paying for them to contribute nothing to society, so it was a far better thing to sterilize the people who could do menial work, to prevent them from passing on their "defective" genes, and for those incapable of work, including infants and children, to be gassed outright. It was only fair, you see. Because they couldn't contribute to society. They were just a drain on the ordinary people who were working to feed and clothe themselves. Why did cripples and lunatics deserve to mooch off of hard-working Germans? Especially during a global depression, when inflation made food and housing impossibly expensive? It was a mercy, you see. They would never have to burden their families with caring for them again. They wouldn't suffer.
Canada is working right out of the Nazi eugenics playbook, down to targeting Indigenous Canadians and other people of colour for state-recommended murder. Because it's far cheaper and far less of a burden on the Canadian taxpayer to just murder disabled people instead of pay for housing, food, and basic needs for survival.
When a government says that paying for disabled and mentally ill people are too expensive to live, then eugenics has won and the only moral option left is to fight back and refuse this deadly, genocidal logic.

Some recent gems:
And of course there’s
Lil Nas X did a cover of Jolene and Dolly Parton responded to it on twitter
Image descriptions under the cut
From Dolly’s insta:
I feel like it gets a bit lost, with how readily we meme his songs online, but Lil Nas X really does have a beautiful country singing voice. He might have the best voice for soulful, impassioned, male country vocals since Johnny Cash, and this cover really shows that off.
he is perfect for outlaw country not that new i love my truck an 'murica stuff that calls itself country
What most people don’t know is that I actually have two cats, Al and Tripp. Except Tripp is a huge bitch and she hates me and everything I believe in and will hiss at me if I even think about looking at her. So, I don’t get many pictures of her but here:
She hates people and loves plastic bags so if you DO want to hold her, you have to put her in a bag first, as seen above.
not to be dramatic but i would die for this cat
UNMUTE THIS, I BEG YOU
[Transcript:]
Cat: Arr-rar! (weird chirp noise)
Cat: [weird mechanical-sounding hiss]
Cat, while licking finger, in a very gravelly voice: Ah mlem-a-mlem-a-mlem-mlem-a-mlem-a-mlem… mrowr rowrrr…
Person holding camera: I love you.
Cat: [hisses]
