fountain pen friends: i got a louise carmen in paris and i'm loving the paper -- anyone know where they source it from? i searched online but couldn't find an answer. i'd love a thicker notebook with this paper. i've been using my kaweco on it and it's so nice!

bonjour, bitches

With Ryan Coogler’s Sinners now streaming, I wanted to talk about the Black writers in the horror & dark fantasy genres who inspired this powerful film including @chesyaburke.bsky.social @tananarivedue.bsky.social Jewelle Gomez, Randall Kenan, and Octavia E. Butler. www.patreon.com/posts/133885...

“After two glorious years at the helm of this wonderful company, I have decided that being CEO during the release of Mechahitler was honestly a pretty bad vibe.”

*quietly posts this and quietly leaves*

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

this is a thought i’ve been kicking around in my head for a few years that i finally decided to start writing down

settling in for the silent reading party at @booksmith.bsky.social

i wish books had a comments section because sometimes i want to tell the author "your beef isn't with the internet, it's with capitalism"

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

OP is right. Tell authors when you love their work. It may be the thing that keeps them writing. Thank you @archnemesisg.bsky.social!

working on a novel with three main POV characters who are all in vastly different stories, and it turns out at least one of those stories is like a detective mystery and i am once again realizing that i am not good at those #amwriting

Summer 2025
