"The notion of making a living with A.I.-generated books appears to be based on the belief algorithms will be serving up book slop the same way we are force-fed other kinds of slop" I'm still not over losing my job as a book reviewer. Here's why we need book critics: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

With all your diversity of writing and submissions, how do you find the time to also sew? That's *sew* impressive! #WriteStuff

The wait is over!! #WriteStuff

Tomorrow is new rabbit day, but I feel like posting a rabbit today, so here's an encore rabbit. #LepusRabbits

This is Captain Cheese. He's a rat super hero that my 8-year-old niece made up. She asked me to help with his final design. I hate him. (thread)

Let's see, what do I have for the Zelda Anniversary? Hey, remember that time Nintendo had a fan art contest to celebrate the Wind Waker HD release and the accompanying orchestra concert? And my Korok puppet show was placed in the top 50 entries? Good times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3lT...

Me: Ajax! Stop chewing the plant! (Ajax continues chewing) Me: Ajax, I'm going to grab you. Ajax: Fool! That was my plan all along! (Ajax immediately falls asleep on my lap.)

Quetzalcoatlus. (Repost from last year) Wanted to go back to the largest of the azdarchid pterosaurs because I wasn't satisfied with the sky background art. 💖/🔄s are welcomed! #ArtistOnBlueSky #AS05 #Paleoart #SciArt #HumanArt #DigitalArt

Hoppy New Year: As their name suggests, torrent frogs live near fast-moving streams and rapids. They sometimes eat other frogs, but it's not known if their teeth exist for that purpose. #hoppynewyear #odontobatrachidae #torrentfrog #frog #amphibian #education #art #SciArt

So I have learned that most people don’t know why Jesse Owens winning in the 1936 Olympics is a big deal this February. Can’t believe I have to state this but here we are. *deep breath* Yes, Hitler hated black people! His Aryan nonsense favored racist nationalism. American eugenics inspired him.

#WriteStuff A4 "A Barnstormer in Oz" is more of an homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs than L. Frank Baum. It's great fun.

Tonight on #Writestuff .. Homage.

There are three parts to a real apology: 1. Acknowledging the harm you did to another person. 2. Accept they may not accept it, and they have every right. No one gets a prize for basic human decency. 3. Take action to either undo the harm or show you have learned from your mistakes.

I'm reading about how a certain Asian-American teenager decided he had to fight a policy he thought was racist. After it was abolished, turns out the policy protected students like him. So instead of making things better for minorities, he made things worse.

Aloha! Welcome to #WriteStuff where writers talk about writing. Tonight we’re talking about your characters around town. I’m @pamportland.org here to host this week’s conversation. Introduce yourself and what you’ve written recently. Say hi to everyone joining tonight!

Here is a watercolor painting of a Roundhead Parrotfish, intermediate phase, Chlorurus strongylocephalas, for my #sundayfishsketch #sciart #marinelife #coralreefs #parrotfish #spanglersscuba

It’s Penguin Awareness Day! Here’s a diving Emperor Penguin showing off some of its amazing anatomical adaptations that allow it to survive and thrive extreme frigid environments. These birds are super cool aquatic avian dinosaurs! #sciart,  #penguin, #PenguinAwarenessDay #anatomy #AnimalAnatomy

It's done. Prosperity koi. #embroidery

A1: I write a combination of both. There's beauty in the struggle, especially when it comes to two people falling in love or avoiding entanglements, as it were. #WriteStuff

Hello #PortfolioDay! I make 3d printed animal skulls, keyrings, magnets, and #SciComm models. I design, print, and finish everything myself. Check out my Etsy or Patreon for more! Etsy: blueappaloosastudio.etsy.com Patreon: patreon.com/BlueAppaloosa #PaleoArt #BSNM #ArtShop #Invertebrates

Oh yeah, it's #Caturday. Let's see... My kid recently wanted a picture of our newest cat on her phone so she could draw from it, but she doesn't have email or texting, so she took a photo of my phone. Then we got silly. #cats #catsky #catPhotos #catception

I have been doing this too with Libby and Hoopla!!! Its such a great resource.

A6: I am off to a bad start, but I am really trying to take full advantage of my Libby access from my library to listen to audio books (first one got dropped bc I didn't accept it soon enough). I've also bought tickets for later this month to an encore showing of a documentary. #WriteStuff

A little over a year ago someone recommended to me to journal plan from Dec 1 through Nov 30 and it has worked well to take away the end-of-year pressure to measure past goals and plan new goals. #WriteStuff

it's apparently #NationalBirdDay but that's every day for me really. To celebrate regardless, here's a singing male Blackburnian Warbler I painted for @songbirding.com a few years back. I'm just in love with their colors. 🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt

Hard worker. 📸 Wait in the Wings Podcast.

@bbcnewslive.bsky.social Hello. Who decided that BBC journalists can’t describe Maduro as being “kidnapped”? And who decided writing about Trump potentially invading other countries with a neutral tone was a good idea?

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

A silly one for the golden-headed manakin for #birbfest #SciArt

I wasn’t excited about the Razorbill for today’s #Birbfest, and then I found pictures of one among sea pinks and got real excited remembering the Puffin Rock vibe, and this happened! I’ll toss a process video in the comments. #BirbFest2026 #BirdArt 🐡 🪶 #Art #DigitalArt

Ending 2025 with my list of favorite books published this year. It’s quite a long list: medium.com/permanent-ne... #WriteStuff

I always love seeing scientists who want to work with comics! A full graphic novel may be too much for me to take on at the moment but always happy to hear more. I definitively enjoy drawing about soil, fungi and biodiversity 🍄❤️✍️ #sciart #scicomm matteofarinella.com/Entangled-Life

I am so guilty of this! My novel rolling out in 2026 is flashing back all over the place! #WriteStuff

Thanks for joining us tonight #WriteStuff! We'll be back at it again next year! (Well, yes, our usual Tuesday at 9 pm ET) Until then, happy writing!

I love learning that classic literature is full of dorky pop culture references that we just don't notice because they're outdated. A favorite is when Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, ordering the prize turkey, says "Joe Miller never made such a joke as sending it to Bob’s will be!”
