The argument that AI gets to steal everything you’ve written, strip it for writing techniques, and now AI is the only one who gets to use that technique is not as anti-AI as you think.

Hope Springs Eternal, our 125-page supplement for the Daggerheart TTRPG, will be available to the public Monday on @heartofdaggers.bsky.social!

“Use AI or get left behind!” Please, leave me behind. Drop me off on the side of the road somewhere. Sentence me to a remote cabin with a typewriter and some wildflowers that don’t know how to use the internet

Was just introduced to the phrase "lonely fun" which is only weird in that it's a place I've existed ever since I was old enough to daydream

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Goodnight from Nina Roper, telling stories to the bookshelf’s carved stones, known for three generations as ‘The Cackles’. Goodnight from Garwood, where the phone engineer’s attempts to fix widespread faults have him hearing the cold, pleading voices of the dead. Goodnight from Hookland.

This movie is the reason that I refer to novel revisions as "naked-Chaucer trudging"

THINGS HAPPENED in this episode that are still hanging out in my brainspace, drinking heavily and asking wtf we just saw play out.

Lotta noise on the feed this Monday, so before I dive into work, I'll simply say this: Put your support towards actual humans putting in the work to bring magic into your lives. Anything less is capitulation to people that value neither humanity, nor magic.

Going through notes for Daggerheart and realizing that every time I meant "golem," I wrote "gollum," which isn't a problem, until it is, I guess...

So my buddy @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social is doing a poll about favorite TTRPGs. But he needs a signal boost beyond his own fanbase. So, for science (or simply for Bob, because he's a nice guy), can you take a minute to do this simple, 2-question survey? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Enjoying Many Things makes it easier to remove stuff if/when they become problematic. Plus it's nice, to be enthusiastic about as many things as your brain will hold.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

For the record, I don't want to hear ever again how a cartoonishly evil tyrant is unrealistic and shouldn't be used, be it in D&D, books, movies, games, etc...

Boss fight in #Daggerheart tonight... taking on the wealthy elites siphoning off magic and hoarding resources, weirdly enough.

NASA Employee: Oh hey, you guys are back early Astronaut: Moon's gay NASA Employee: What? Astronaut: *uncorking a bottle of rosé and getting back on the rocket-ship* moon's gay

This roman d6 proves "shiny math rock" has always been preferable to "readable math rock."

#Artemis II astronaut Reid Wiseman’s wife Carroll was taken by cancer a few years ago. Just now, as the crew broke the record for furthest human journey from Earth, he asked for a lunar feature to be named after her. The crew gave him a zero-g group hug and honestly I’m getting a bit emotional here.

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

As others have said... if you say, "well, I don't use generative AI to write, just as a collaborative editor," you just aren't qualified to be a writer. You're also just plain foolish given that editing like writing is a creative act and one that requires the full concentration of the human brain.

NO, WE DO NOT ALL USE THE SLOPERATOR.

Hi, #PortfolioDay I'm Kova, freelance fantasy artist from Poland with passion for nature themes and folklore🌿 ✉️ [email protected] Portfolio: cara.app/twoshortswords #art

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Put a big ol' chip in one of my glass dice during my Monday night session, so instead of getting sad, I ordered a little retirement box for the math rocks that perish in the line of duty. (also ordered a replacement set of dice, so technically I'm UP six dice instead of down one)

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Wiggle floaties up their noodle-arms and--with great love and a kiss to the forehead--toss them in the deep end.

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

A thing that pisses me off re: AI in #editing conversations is...what kind of conversations could we be having if we didn't have to talk about AI all the time? Like all the professional development, #creativity, heart and soul of editing that we could be discussing instead of AI. #amediting

the dice want what they want, but I've thrown so many end-of-session, "we are gonna diiiiiiiiie" crits in our Daggerheart campaign that I'm peering down the road at an inevitable and catastrophic failure and rubbing my hands together, muttering "yesss, preciousss, soon we fucks it up"

Hi! My next picture book, I AM LIGHT (Tilbury House Publishing), dawns soon. If you live in SoCal, I hope to see you at one of the listed signings. Do you love your children? Do you? :)
