yall ever play a video game so bad it makes you rethink your whole career

I’ve been sending stories to @fantasymagazine.bsky.social for years and today is the day I finally have a story out with them! Wicked proud of this little post apocalyptic haunted highway tale :) psychopomp.com/fantasy/issu...

look, you can dance around it however you like, but at the end of the day if you even want to find a reason to use the machine that steals the work of your peers and poisons communities to run you are weak and will not survive the winter

“I am an AI hater” amazingly written anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

a little bit of hope means you want to know about the world, no matter what it's done to you

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere. Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

This is a wild hack. a16z gave a million dollars to startup called Doublespeed. They use a phone farm to flood social media with AI generated influencers and ads. A hacker remotely broke into the phone farm, unmasking the AI influencers/fake accounts, gave us the data www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Whoever needs to hear this (me): as of today, DAYS IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE ARE GETTING LONGER. LOCK IN

The Ghost Story, Alfred Bestall, 1930 #Christmasghoststories

I know he’s only using it as a general example, but when talking about this with artist and writer friends I often say a variation of: genai doesn’t impact me as much as it does you so I can be more nuanced, but the moment someone hands me a generated design doc I will go absolutely nuclear

One of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack! Whimsical flute and delightful oboe played by @emberbelladonna.bsky.social and Diana Dunn respectively!

Reading Brave New Weird Volume 3 from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social and gods damn Vining by @emnays.bsky.social was incredible as was A Contract of Ink and Skin by @angelaliu.bsky.social. I'm only two stories in and this is quite the collection already. If you like body horror hoo boy

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

This is a good exploration, but I’d like to see more diversity for these articles. I’m by no means influential in the games industry, but I have gotten harassed in games not only for being a woman, but also specifically for being a Black woman. Black women and women of color get it on two fronts

Who's gonna be headed to PAX East this year? 👀

"Inevitable" is a marketing term, not a certainty.

Remember: The Green Knight is a Christmas movie.

Most... wanted?

If there's anything AI has done for me this year, it's awakened a hunger for person-to-person connection. Hanging out with a baby, going to see live theatre, eating food someone made, appreciating art from 200 years ago, from 800 years ago, from 10,000 years ago... Human creation is so wonderful.

I didn’t expect to mind-meld this hard with Emmett when I joined but Look At Our Wonders

Over 200,000 words in this goddamn video game. locking braincells with @lucawriting.bsky.social

In fact, let’s do this. Comment with what you’re looking for and I’ll try to recommend a read from a Palestinian author for you from my reading list. I’ll do my best to find you a match.

BUY INDIE🖤☠️ Looking for a story where ocean life assimilates w/the human body in a Weird Body Horror bonanza? ...Would you believe we have more than one? Check out: FROM THE BELLY by @emnays.bsky.social REEF MIND by @hazelzorn.bsky.social store.tenebrouspress.com

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Fantastic book. A queer weird lit Sea Wolf.

From the Belly by Emmett Nahil is a claustrophobic tale set aboard a whaling ship. This isn’t quite the Moby Dick you were expecting. #Horror #BookSky 💙📚 #SSBA2025 @tenebrouspress.bsky.social @specawards.bsky.social @emnays.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

the fact that doing this gets rid of the default separate inboxes is fucking infuriating

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

So, this thread--particularly @lizthegrey.com's useful explanation of how the relevant databases actually work--is worth reading in response to the Erin in the Morning story that's terrifying our community today. But I'll add a few broad points about Where We Are and scaremongering.

CREATIVES! A gang of us are organising an auction raising funds for mutual aid groups in Sudan, amid the war on civilians. Can YOU contribute to the auction? Perhaps a piece of art or music? Signed books? Embroidery? Half an hour of creative mentoring? Sign up here! www.sudancoup.com/auction

Great reporting here-- Alyssa sums up the last few years very succinctly and i hope you read it and i hope it makes you mad! (warning: jumpscare by my old getty photo)

One more bump of this! We'd don't have to settle for a bill that does pretty good work. We can push for gold-standard protections.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Predator: Badlands was Sooo so silly I loved it. Love a big action movies so stupid that everyone in the theatre applauded when credits rolled

Keep Trying #art

Hard at work for Grave Seasons over here...

There’s a lot of unique shops in Ashenridge. Important for finding just the right ingredient! #screenshotsaturday
