To repeat: "A.i." in the schools is child abuse. These companies want to turn your kids into incompetent losers who are addicted to their terrible products. Do not let them.

I finally got around to reading John Warner's More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI. It's a fabulous book and I collected some of my thoughts about it over at the Treehouse Writers blog. treehousewriters.com/wp53/2026/07...

Skip the fireworks and avoid the heat. Stay indoors and read the new issue of Kaleidotrope!

Ouch. Rhyne just got the Malachi Crunch #WNBA

I recently posted about all my pubs so far this year. I think it’s important to also look at submission stats, b/c rejection is part of the game & can be daunting. For the first half of the year… Submissions: 115 Rejections: 89 Acceptances: 6 Pending Submissions: 29 If you’re in it, keep going! 💖

I need your help. As a photographer & citizen scientist of 20+ years, I face a tough roadblock: a past legal debt stalling my lupus treatment & relocation. If you can’t donate, PLEASE REPOST. Every share matters! 🙏 whydonate.com/fundraising/... #MutualAid #Lupus #SoberLife #Crowdfunding

#TorontoTempo this is going to be a 150 point game! 🤯

The Atlantic has a new database where you can find out how many of your books/stories were used to train AI. (Link below.) My count? 92. Enjoy using AI to create "writing" based on my -- and thousands of others' – stolen work, slop artists!

FYI to the world: The cover art for the new edition of Plague Birds is not AI generated. Two people messaged me asking, so I want to be clear the art is purely human created. Marcela Bolívar created the art for this cover and didn't use any AI at all. 1/

That was a CRAZY winning shot lol good stuff, Mystics!! #wnba

When we left the other place for this online place, we had an opportunity to build community and use that to really propel the SFF industry forward. We didn't have to fall into rage-bait patterns. We could create and support and make a difference. We can still do this.

Many of you know that I run a Patreon to help support what I do at Starts With A Bang. It has helped me, in many ways since 2015, including in making a living. If you support anyone on Patreon, or run one yourself, I'm now compelled to share this: www.patreon.com/posts/warnin...

It took me THIS long to realize @merriam-webster.com was on here. (Disappointed the RAE and OED aren't.) For the record, my word for 2026 was "compassionate." Considering some of the others that I saw fly by, that's a pretty good result. (Zip-line?)

Wasn't expecting the twist in this story by @runesword.bsky.social (despite some spoiler-y artwork that might have made its way onto the 'sky 🤣🤣🤣). I do appreciate stories with a sense of humor. Wish there were more out there! translunartravelerslounge.com/2026/02/15/t...

Highly recommended: "The Garden of Living Flowers" by Tunvey Mou (TTL Feb 2026). I love stories that go to unexpected places, with fabulous and consistent world-building backing up great characters and clever plotting. @translunartl.bsky.social translunartravelerslounge.com/2026/02/15/t...

#AtlantaDream if you could get that lead back…

As far as I know Prime is the only one that offers a Spanish broadcast option. If the #WNBA is serious about going global maybe other broadcast partners should be given a little nudge.
