one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

At this point I would give a million dollars to have a different brain

yes

trying my hand at paper plotting to see if I can rewire how my brain needs to process and plot (not sure if it'll work but boy is it cute) shoutout to @vividthembo.bsky.social for my amazing pen holder

You can be in a room full of people and still feel lonely And when you’re autistic, that feeling can be even louder But everything changes the moment you find your people - the ones who get you, celebrate you, and make the world feel a little less overwhelming ❤️

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

This year has been exhausting for all creative people and it's normal to feel burned out or unmotivated, because the daily grind is consuming us. But be kind to yourselves, get plenty of rest and come back whenever you're ready.Your mental health goes first

The joy of publishing and sharing my original characters is amazing. The cost to my mental health though is far bigger than I anticipated. Some days are rough.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Hey, as a heads up for NSFW peeps in the US, US President administration just made a shitton of BlueSky accounts. I would highhhhly recommend subbing to this blocklist so they don't show up on any algorithm feeds (and so they can't see your shit) bsky.app/profile/eva....

today is one of those days where the reality of publishing being a business is weighing me down to the point of wishing i wasn't doing it I am so burnt out and run down by it, its stripping away the joy of writing and my confidence day by day

"anti-AI people should just learn more about it" motherfucker I know so much about it, that's why I'm anti-AI

hey one thing I'd really like to see, in this era of ramped up vile personal attacks on marginalized people, is less pressure from educational institutions, publishers, industries, conventions, peers etc. for artists to use their "real" name online lol

if anyone noticed my fandom instagram disappear after 7 years it was a difficult decision to separate my fandom and penname . Given the state of the world it feels a lot safer to have zero ties from my penname to my face, real name, etc...which kind of broken my heart to need to do.

You can still enjoy the things that make you happy. That's what makes the struggle worthwhile. These are the things you must hold true to yourself. Doomerism will not stop the horrors of the world. Local action will. Resist and fight on, damn it. Make them take it. Don't give it up.

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

The best time for media, government and employers to actually understand social media and how it can be gamed by bad-faith actors and false outrage was a decade ago. The next best time is right now. Unbelievable how stupidly some of them are responding to blatant hateful opportunism right now.

can't believe after growing up in fandom and writing stories about other people's characters that I'm in position where I get to write my own books now and people are making fanart of my characters like 😭

LOUDER FOR THE TRUST & SAFETY TEAM IN THE BACK

im working on one of my novels and i got to a big scene ive spent 110k getting to and i think i hurt my feelings more with this scene than anything ive written and now ive got big sad

“I hope that made sense” “I’m fine either way” “Anyways, sorry I’m rambling a bit” “Just a thought, whatevs” — little anxiety-fueled gifts I like to send along with any communication in an attempt to shield myself from rejection

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

just gonna do a couple if anyone is interested. :) please share if you can, im having knee surgery in a couple weeks and i have so many bills to pay haha

I think this is one of my favorite sheith things i ever wrote and i am thinking about them today

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

I realized that next month will be one year since i self published my first original novel and thats just wild to me also massive shoutout to all of the incredible fandom friends who've supported my original writing endeavors you guys are amazing thank you

For the cynics who think it doesn’t matter, that the compensation for authors whose work was stolen will be so low it’s not worth fighting, I personally think it’s worth making the monetary punitive damage these companies suffer as big as possible to deter similar theft in the future.

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI" GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

TLDR; it's in our best interest to keep up the pressure on these companies and be as VOCALLY and VISUALLY annoying as possible. The goal for average joes like you and me at this juncture is BRAND DAMAGE. Stay loud, stay annoying, connect their effect on free expression with their brand

And now a thought from a wise frog:

My 8 year old saw someone bragging about using AI and she goes "buddy, girlie pop, my dude....that is not a flex to not use your brain what even im going to crash out I don't trust you anymore" and honestly this is the appropriate response to using AI

Deeply recommend getting absolutely brainrotted about a pairing/oc/concept that no one else is making food for so you have to cook for yourself. Not only is making what you want to see deeply rewarding, you will improve and it will not even be on purpose it will just be the inevitable byproduct.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

If they manage to pass this, they will use it to ban all sex education and anything that acknowledges that LGBTQ+ people exist.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

Hurt/Comfort #Sheith

i got covid again and jfc ive been knocked on my ass I NEVER nap no matter what and i passed out for hours today and could barely crawl out of bed this is not fun 0/10 don't reccomend

Even if the waters are rough, I'm just going to keep hoping for the best while bracing for the worst.🌿🐁 #art

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
