So excited for this - and hey, the sultry voice of that Aurigan liaison officer sounds familiar, I bet she's super hot and tall and stacked* (* she's me, of course she is)

Gotta love living in Portland, OR

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

Artemis II is now halfway to the Moon 🌕

on this day we remember the reverence of the sacred crucifixion

DAVID BYRNE: Water dissolving! Water removing! ME: Oh yeah? DAVID BYRNE: There is water at the bottom of the ocean 🙂 ME: That’s so cool buddy. Did you learn that at school today? DAVID BYRNE: Remove the water 😡 carry the water 😡 ME: Hm how about we carry some juice in your sippy cup bud?

This book lays out in a very simple manner why everyone should have the right to choose. The unlikely pairing of the two protagonists is surprising but truly refreshing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone saying this has never spoken to any writers, who mostly have two modes, either hyper "I *need* to get these 15,000 words out *right now* to make my brain shut up" or agonising for a literal hour about whether to use "a" or "the" in a sentence they then delete.

“All authors are using AI now” Not true! A lot of us use existential anxiety and hyperfixation

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

If you’re using AI to write books, understand that’s not going to somehow get you respect or money like real writers who aren’t using AI to write books because we don’t get respect or money either.

Five shows to get to know me: Robotech Leverage Battlestar Galactica (the reboot) Gundam Build Fighters Community

Happy writing, embrace your weird, stop trusting the plagiarism machine to do anything for your art.

I don't know about you, but it feels like AI proponents are getting off lightly with the level of scorn directed at them, all things considered. They've earned so much worse. Frankly, I'd like to see Sam Altman criminally liable for the deaths his chatbots caused. As a start.

idk guys when i see a lot of similar headlines insisting that editors & authors are all already embracing AI, i don't assume these things are true. i assume there are a lot of very rich people with an unpopular product pushing a particular narrative in my industry!

Fr tho happy Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV

I also wish to add that my band, which is the musical foundation of Magica Riot, did a loud trans rights song I wrote on our album “Beautiful and True” and it is a Magica Riot song so if you want to know what my girls sound like this is the perfect example: crystalfurs.bandcamp.com/track/burn-u...

i'm gonna be real i don't think that the Noem's husband is a sissy humiliationist thing is that funny and i really don't like seeing cis people joke about it he's just some fascist who gets off on being called a woman because he's that much of a misogynist dude like it's not that deep

I think this was last year's TDoV pic? Either way I looked cute

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It's very rude that it's a Monday this year because I hate being visible on Mondays, that's when editors see you and ask you to write things

What's more transgender than an OmniMech? This Blood Asp has the kind of tgirl swagger that would make the Tumbrinas swoon! #PrideMechParade

On trans day of visibility, I once again remind you that you are not simply a beautiful person valued by those around you, you are also a 100 ton assault platform with twin 120mm autocannons. YOU WILL NOT BE STOPPED 🏳️‍⚧️ King Crab from BattleTech

I love my newest pin 🥰

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u #transdayofvisibility #tdov

Felt cute for the first time in weeks today, which just goes to show that anyone can still find shreds of self-esteem amid rampant fascism (you just have to wash the depression goblins out of your hair)

💜 favorite pic of 2025 💜

What actually good trans character design looks like

Alright, timeline cleanse, this place sucks rn. Post you at your dykiest!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, friends. Despite all the bastards, we're still here. If you want to support an unemployed trans musician, my bandcamp is at owlbard.bandcamp.com and my Venmo is robotsarcasm!

trans day of visibility? NO. trans day of pocket sand

Me as a Bsky therapist

A very happy #TransDayOfVisibility #tdov to you all from the trans women (and one agender enby hacker) of "Magica Riot" Character designs and artwork by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, friends. Despite all the bastards, we're still here. If you want to support an unemployed trans musician, my bandcamp is at owlbard.bandcamp.com and my Venmo is robotsarcasm!

Fun fact about this Blood Asp: I painted the Gauss rifle coils with fluorescent paint so that they glow under UV light! I didn't think to get a good pic of that at the time last June - I should fix that

It’s trans day of visibility, and what’s more visible than a towering pillar of steel, pride, and power? Here we’ve got Zahra’s trans Blood Asp, Kaiju’s OG trans pride King Crab, and Blimp’s trans Raven, doing an big steppy.

4. -Even if you think you're going out of your way not to put "politics" into your work, you are. Who you are in the world, what you think of it, and what you aspire to say your work is *inherently* a social/political stance. Writers can't help but be "political" because all writing is commentary.

As Transgender day of Visibility dawns here in Australia, I'm getting in early to remind you all that from the core to the periphery, trans rights are human rights, and we'll keep fighting for our trans siblings in Battletech, and in the world at large. youtu.be/xGJUrgYjs8Y

Weir increasingly seems like the type of writer who is extremely good at one, narrow type of story (lone man survives impossible odds through the power of hope, science, and the human spirit) and knows and cares about JACK SHIT outside of what is needed for that, much to his detriment

Brb making a very tight t-shirt that says"the lord only speaks through big naturals"

ok so the box labeled 'improv' has improv in it, that makes sense. the box labeled 'ttrpg' has... improv in it. ok. sure. why not. but the box labeled 'kink' must have..! also improv. fuck. one of these must have something else in it. hand me the box labeled 'polyamory.'

this little guy has been through it #dnd #kobold #longrest #dndmemes #art #drawing

also nobody in the history of cinema has ever gone as hard as John Leguizamo did as Tybalt

AI stole it from writers in the first place. And I've spent over a decade developing my writing voice both academically and in my new novels. AI doesn't get to claim what I created.
