My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

Both of us at Tenebrous are deeply honored to present the 40+ badass 🏳️‍⚧️creators🏳️‍⚧️ who will comprise the Table of Contents for YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM, a New Weird Cosmic Horror anthology due out 10.06.26! Full deets here: tenebrouspress.com/blog/2026/3/... #transdayofvisibility #tdov

😮 it's the border between ancelstierre and the old kingdom @garthnix.bsky.social

if you're gonna use the Plagiarism Engine, use it, just don't expect me to tell you you're still a good person

Tech bros and their cultists out there unable to comprehend how humans have been writing novels for nearly a thousand years with just our brains and two little hands. Like guys I’ve got some news for you about some cool art in caves too.

Can you imagine never having the fun parts of your job and instead you have to spend all your time making sure that the AI doesn't switch up people's jobs or motivations on you? (They don't do that part, by the way. That's a thing they don't do.)

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Submissions are open for our August issue until the 15th April, and are not scheduled to reopen until September. Please read the guidelines! translunartravelerslounge.com/submissions/

Finished grading papers, finally. I have a #WIP I want to work on but we have company today.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Hi! Huge news! COVER REVEAL!!! 📖 SOMETHING FOLLOWED US HOME is a groundbreaking anthology where each story reimagines immigration, colonization, faith, and folklore as the fears we inherit and carry across borders and generations.

okay so. coming soon 👀 (no, idk *exactly* when but like... all the stories are written! and I have one cover!) #WhyMonsterGirlsDontCry 📚🏳️‍⚧️ it's got trans & nonbinary characters! it's super queer! 🌈📚🪐 💜🖤💚 also very aspec! there will be 3 new stories! 🐺🎥🧸 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

It's literally the last 2 days before my weird gay pirate body horror romance adventure goes out of print so get that shit perhaps

it really pains me as someone who loves technology to have to just knee-jerk reject literally any press release with "AI" in it, but the well is so completely poisoned at this point that I either have to deep dive every single company to find out if they have ethical implementation, or say NOPE.

Just finished this book and I do love it when an author embraces a completely bonkers storyline and runs with it. Carey's ONCE WAS WILLEM had that vibe, and so does OUTLAW PLANET.

“When homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you asshole” —Nick Offerman, his response to people bitching about his character being gay in The Last of Us.

Show me your favourite lurid paperback horror novel covers. Here are a few of mine.

So, lessons. 1) Four lines of due diligence is now the minimum. Not seen one break containment like this before. 2) Be a good neighbour. If folks being scammed ask for details, give them. That's how we get better fences. 3) No one's going to discover you. Do the work anyway.

That Gravity Falls artbook is looking pretty sweet, ngl.

Reminder that the Butlerian Jihad was not just “AI bad” but also “the people who built and own the machines meant to control and replace us must burn for humanity to survive.” Anyway some dune lore apropos of nothing

A large majority of Americans would love to clean all this slimy AI garbage off our phones, Microsoft Office, web browsers, cars, Echo Dots, TVs, and search results forever. Just expunge it all Butlerian Jihad style.

Just a subtle reminder that you can preorder GAME OF HEARTS!

Be aware, folks! I submitted and received a confirmation email with a claim number. If you haven't then please check. Honestly, check, no matter what.

I have always been terrified of any Christian denominational hospital or medical system. Everybody tells you it makes no difference in their care, until you're a queer trans non-Christian and suddenly you can't access the care you need or be with the people who do the actual caring for you.
