the thing i'm waiting for with the ai romance novel lady is for another scammer to figure out that purely ai-generated material w no human authorship is generally not considered to be protected by copyright in the US rn, and saving themselves the 45 mins per book by reselling hers

Searching for anything but the most popular media is such a trainwreck now. I was trying to hunt down an older album with a specific concept - the singer is a guy who crashes his car and becomes a zombie - but despite knowing the subject, the artist being French, and it being related to 'Drive' ...

loot does not drop upon defeating me. the developers didn't expect anyone to attack me, i am so vulnerable, and only trying to help. why did you raise your sword? for material gain? i would give you anything i have if you had only asked. i did not ask to be in this game, i did not ask to have 6hp.

My number one piece of writing advice is: don’t do it if you don’t actually like writing

New drawing! Does anyone like femme, girly battle axes with jewels, hearts, and ribbons?

hello! i still need about $300 to get all of my court shit settled and it would mean the world to me if you helped me meet my goal! here's what i still have to pay for: -psychiatric evaluation ($90) -court submission ($170) -travel costs ($30) -rent, bills etc (whatever you can spare)

it was very funny to see one of my knight covers being accused as being made with AI, considering the symbols on them are taken from scans of a public domain nature symbol book from 130 plus years ago that I had to meticulously spend hours cleaning up since all automatic tools fail miserably

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

If you're posting about your genAI use being soooo unavoidable as an indie "creative" you are: a) insufferably entitled b) too lazy to develop your own skills c) a class traitor d) blocked Hope this clarifies!

Cis people: Would you vote for a politician who would fix maybe 1/3rd of the issues we are currently facing but would also shoot you personally directly in your genitals with a pistol? Genuinely curious if that would be a red line for you.

i don't think it's a coincidence too that the anti-trans crowd has largely dropped their feminist veneer. me too is dead, they don't need to pretend like they care about women anymore. they love when men sequester and control women.

It's my sincere hope community serves as the antithesis of AI slop. Indie authors build communities with other writers and readers who trust in the stories they're telling. We grow together. We sharpen one another. We support each other.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The prose in The Scales of Seduction is exquisite, and the worldbuilding so immersive. The fact that it feels effortless as a reader really betrays how much time was actually put into refining it!

I worked really hard on the atmosphere in The Scales of Seduction, including a lot of research on 3rd century Greece and aggressively refining the prose. A lot of people have noticed too, which is nice!

You can survive this. Outlast your enemies and thrive. (Plan for a two part linocut. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and buy some new lino; I have rubber blocks and a couple small pieces of lino but it seems I just can't do without detail.) #art #wolf #linocut planning #printmaking
