Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Heads up, writer friends. For the second time I received a cute email from an 11 year old asking if I'd read their short story and give feedback. Story Not an attachment but a link. Be safe. Delete. Do not respond. Emails virtually identical but for boy/girl name.

Finally finished my #figurativesculpture in wax. He'll be cast using the 'lost wax' process - he'll be dipped in refactory plaster to build a shell, then put in a kiln and the wax will melt out. Molten bronze will then get poured in. It's a one-chance only process... a bit scary! 😬 #malenude #art

every company in 2025

This is awful. I wonder if any humans were involved in this decision or if it was a bot.

The dude whose been stealing Garfield parody/ strip art to make a book originally said ' maybe I should have asked' when questioned. He doesn't give a crap about artists copyright.... and yet the fucker has the nerve to put this copyright notice on the book. #EndHim

I've just finished season 6 of #thegoodfight What fantastic, pertinent show. Christine Baranski is such a great actor! Diane Lockhart is my queen. ❤️

So life-like...modeled on a bloke from Newcastle while on a stag-do in Dublin. Cobbles can be a bitch 😂

Big win for creatives today in the battle against exploitation by AI companies ⬇️ German court rules OpenAI infringed copyright when it trained on copyrighted song lyrics www.reuters.com/world/german...

Today in #404DeepDive: People are modding Meta Ray-Bans to spy on you. Already, there are videos with millions of views of men using the glasses to film massage workers, asking for happy endings.

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is. 🧵 1/5

Slowly getting there with this male nude dancer life sculpture. I was supposed to send it to the foundry yesterday, but I'll detail for another few days. N.B Air pillow packaging is very handy! 😁 #art #sculpture #figurativeArt #MaleNude

Lewis Goodall spilling all the tea about the BBC. This is excellent. "The BBC lessens itself because it is afraid, hoping to be both ubiquitous and unnoticed- an impossibility and trend which will only get worse after all of this."

This is far beyond any measure of “somebody should’ve said something” - it has become a media and society-wide groupthink nightmare where ignorance and fantasy have melded into a “plan for the future” that was neither possible nor profitable, all because everybody craves to believe the status quo

#Bluesky users. It's simple. IF IN DOUBT...DON'T SHARE IT! 'I didn't know it was fake' isn't good enough anymore. I'm sick of seeing AI gen propaganda that people auto-share because 'the political message aligns with my politics' or 'the Lolz'. This shit is mentally exhausting.

I have a new release in French #mmromance #traductionfrançaise 🥰

#NouvelleVersion #traductionfrançaise #Livre #Gay #Historique Ma nouvelle traduction de romance historique M/M, « Les Démons de Wychwood », est désormais disponible sur Amazon. Elle devrait l'être sur d'autres plateformes d'ici la fin de la semaine. 🥰 www.amazon.fr/dp/B0G1HY3D4B

I don't use Chat GPT or any generative AI. I've never considered using it. I write because I WRITE. Asking a bot for 'help' to expedite writing a book is ridiculous and an insult to the creative process. The fact it's trained on my, and millions of stolen books is disgraceful. Burn it with 🔥

I've been having fun with this! 🤣

Noodling away today. I want to get this wax figure finished by Monday & sent to the foundry. It takes 12 wks for the finished sculpture to be sent back to me as bronze. This wax sculpture will be destroyed in the process. #sculpture #art #malenude #fcf

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

My French translator just delivered the translation of my #MM historical romance Les Demons de Wychwood. I've formatted the manuscript. Just waiting for the blurb translation and I'm good to go! It should be live by Monday in France and Canada on Amazon, Kobo etc Cover art by M.Emityy (Instagram)

#Writingcommunity This is awful. I didn't spend thousands of dollars on French, German, Italian and Spanish translations by wonderful human translators for them to have to compete with AI generated translations. I feel so sorry for the translators who are going to lose work because of this. #FuckAI

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic. Keep creating. 💜

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

He can't even show basic human empathy when a person has a medical emergency in his presence. He hates that he's not center of attention.

"It's part of a fascist project to offload the work of thinking... If we can offload that cognitive work, it's far too easy to become reflexive and hateful, while having a robot cheerleader telling you that you were right about everything all along.”

Americans, Open AI wants a federal guarantee to cover the cost of data centers they can't afford. You happy to bail them out? "Tell your congress person — today — that you don’t want your taxes used to bail out over-hyping and economically shaky AI companies that spend far more than they earn."

This is disgusting. The US government expects soldiers to put their lives in danger for their country and yet they can't even ensure the military is paid and fed... while Trump brags about the new Whitehouse bathroom with gold taps. #cometherevolution

#writingcommunity The absolute cheek to rebrand an AI writing tool as 'Superhuman'. "Superhuman (formerly #Grammarly) is the AI productivity platform on a mission to unlock the superhuman potential in everyone. The Superhuman suite of apps and agents brings AI wherever people work" FUCK OFF!

It's #fireworksnight tonight in the UK and I hate it. The 'meaning' was lost a long time ago! I was in the garden tonight and above the clouds, heard a flock of geese flying overhead. Usually they just call to one another but these ones were truly terrified. ☹️

#artistsofBluesky #lifesculpture #WIP I love working with hot wax. This is my progress so far with this dancer figure. Shaping is slow work, holding a wax tool over a candle flame. I pondered on whether I should have his junk in pants or not. Rock out with your cock out for the win! 😂

Fame is lame It's never the same As teenage dreams Longing to be seen As a queen on the scene At the top of your game Accolades & money stream Now you're #famous Do u work to live Or live to work? Don't be a jerk Fame will spit you out Leave you in doubt The ladder suddenly out of reach #VSS365

Clammy Sam Altman is going to have to raise more money than anyone has ever had to raise, again and again, forever I guess? Better hope those revenues are where they’re meant to be Clamuel, you’re making promises to just about everybody.

Sculpting with hot wax today on a figure I hope will eventually be cast in bronze. I've got a foot... #artistsofbluesky #sculpture #figurativesculpture

Wait... Gay men can be... sexy?! Call the woke police! There's been another containment breach.

For your Bsky #education Users come from every station Young & old rich & poor Fascist, you can find the door! AI bros & those who share For u, I don't have a care You see, I have no obligation To look at your slop Or give a moment of attention I decide what I see No likey, block me! #Vss365 #poem

I don't have much of my life sculpture work from yrs ago. It was sold,given as gift or thrown out every time I moved. (A LOT) So, I'm making myself some small pieces to get cast in bronze. I'll make a plaster mold of this, then cast in wax and rework it. I'm having fun remembering old techniques.

I just saw someone refer to JD Vance as Vladimir Futon and I may never stop laughing

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Arrrrrrrggggghhhhhh! 😱

I met my love on #HALLOWEEN Clicked at once Though he remained unseen Footsteps walked beside me In the crunch of leaves His laughter touched my skin like an icy breeze Eyes bright, face fair So handsome I couldn't help but stare But my friends assured me There was no one there... #VSS365 #poem
