I don't want gen AI in my browser. I don't want gen AI in my PC. I don't want gen AI in my art. I don't want gen AI in my games. I don't want gen AI in my music. I don't want gen AI in my movies. I don't want gen AI in my books. I don't want gen AI in my cart. I don't want gen AI in my LIFE.

I do not want AI in my house. I do not want AI to generate a blouse. I do not want it in my games I do not want it to win fame. I do not want it, to be fair, Because I do not want it anywhere

Alright, if we're all moving from Amazon, then I vote we move to Kobo. They have just about everything we need: ebooks, audiobooks, a subscription program, even their own ereaders. Can we make it happen in 2026? Authors, what books do you have in Kobo? Post your links.

I look up a favorite restaurant of mine and see it only has three stars. I click on the reviews, wondering wtf, and it's just people bitching about how the employees don't have a smile glued onto their face -_-

In case you need to hear this - you don't need to make fitness your New Year's resolution if you don't want to. 'Eat 30 different pasta dishes' and 'pet more dogs' are perfectly valid resolutions too.

My middle finger is getting a serious workout this year.

My dog has the maternal instincts of a baked potato, but god help you if you mess with Aunty Opal's kittens.

This is legit the plot to the Long Walk. Glad we’re fucking making the god damn Hunger Games, Jesus fucking Christ. We gonna do a god damn lottery to pick the special boy and girl form each district, I mean state?

Some personal news. In addition to my new 12-month, part-time marketing role with a medical animation studio, In January, I’ll be starting a 6-month, full-time role at the University of Toronto Chemistry Department. 2026 is already looking a lot more hopeful than the past 18 months.

Gonna share my own joy: I randomly checked the Ko-fi between posts and we have a very nice number of members now #WeeknightWriters

I once heard of a reader that finished their TBR list. I also heard of a guy who lives in the north pole and flies around every Christmas Eve. 🎁

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2. www.sfwa.org/complete-neb... This shouldn't be difficult. #noAI

Spending the holiday season cuddling with my husband watching Christmas horror movies while we cough and sneeze and pass tissues back and forth... but the real holiday horror is how we both have to drink Buckley's cough syrup.

Other people go to the thrift/antique shop and come home with beautiful old furniture, I come with this friend

"No one is THAT dumb." Oh, the privilege of never needing to work in the service industry.

Everyone I know has a daughter in the 12-15year range so I’m shopping at Lululemon for the very first time.

A man grieves for a neighbor he has never tried to understand, and now will never get to. Read one of the short stories I'm most proud of, The Whistling Woman, here: braverytewalker.weebly.com/short-storie... A snippet.

She's crass, blunt as a bat, and fed up with the world. Who better for the princess? Read the full story here: braverytewalker.weebly.com/short-storie... Snippet:

Slimmed tf out of the sites I post on. Now I just have Inkitt, Royal Road, and ao3 for fanfics, plus my personal site. ( #writer #writers #queerwriters #queerauthors #indieauthor #indiewriter #WriterSky #AuthorSky #AuthorsOfBluesky #WritersOfBluesky #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity )

I think Opal likes our new kitten. ( #cat #cats #catsky #catredistributionsystem #dog #dogs #dogsky )

When the green light is so damn short, no one, including me, judges you for running that red.

*watches the new Digital Circus trailer* I hope this episode absolutely destroy me emotionally.

Oh no. The scam/phishing text people have finally figured me out.

ME: [after applying for every remote chat support & content moderation role I can find] psssst pssst psst *clicking noises* come here, employers, I have an open schedule, can stick to scripts while keeping chats professional and friendly and have a willingness to work night shifts for you~ 👉👈

ME: [using my Trying Extremely Hard To Get Employed voice] You know, you could even say that applying for a job is a job, these days

I've officially accepted the fact that I am not going to do awesome on these last couple of exams/essays, because I am so burnt out. That's okay. It's why I made sure I got good grades throughout the beginning and middle of the semester, when I had energy. Have a nice cushion now.

Hah! Easy money. Fire chick, Colonizer, and Chosen One. Nailed it.

What I want to do this winter break: Write until my fingers fall of. What I'm probably going to do: Play Paralives and rot on my couch.

A snippet from the new flash fiction on my site, Animals. It is the next entry for my series of short works, Tiny Tales To Be Forgotten, short stories that are a love letter to everyday mundanity and tragedy. Read it here: braverytewalker.weebly.com/flash-fictio...

#WeeknightWriters Any good feeds I can join? I want to join more author feeds, but all the common ones are spammed with AI.

Getting my English Literature degree while everyone around me tells me to just use AI and that my wants and dreams to be an author are growing increasingly useless... y a y

oh my God STOP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW. Today marks the 10 Year Anniversary since I became The Drift King back in college. A lot has happened since, but one thing remains the same. They used to call me The Drift King back in college. Thank you.

Me writing 10k words in one day for my creative work: ARE WE READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUMBBBBBBLLLLLLLE?!?!? Me writing a five-paged essay (double-spaced) for one of my classes: *exhausted gagging noises*

If you tell people you like the art they make, you will eventually reach the creative people who screencap compliments and save them in a special folder to read through when times are hard. I have 5MB of one individual being rad about my writing. They have their own FOLDER. Be that person.

Here's my bluesky harvest: Happy that I'm offline so much. WHOO, all of my posts have had alt text! Let's goooo. And I am not surprised that one of my most used words is 'fucking'- ( #bluesky #blueskyharvest )

Again?? Can you show me how so I can leave this timeline for a bit?

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you. :D (can writers be included in this? :p) braverytewalker.weebly.com/poetry/heckl...

I bought a smartphone from a company that is specifically about repairability, and it cost me $300. I will be keeping this phone until it actually explodes.

I have always hated the "but is it Art?" debate, because I think anything can be art, some art is just bad. But AI/generated art is not art. It is plagiarism, it is outright theft, it is cruel and extreme mining and exploitation of living artists.
