In honor of #SEAsianPit, here’s my pitch for CITY OF THE SOLD, a cyberpunk novel with a romantic subplot. 📣Voicey 🧬 Grounded sci-fi 😱 Cannibalism 🍲 Unintroduced cuisines 🎯 Professional futuristic darts player FMC 🎲 Two MMCs 🗺️ Set outside the US and the UK #NA #SF #Q

Reintroduction: I’m Mote Thone Lay. I’m querying CITY OF THE SOLD, a triple-POV cyberpunk novel. I’ve worked on it for more than a couple of years 🧬 Southeast Asian and Burmese inspired 🧬 #authorsky #booksky #southeastasianauthor

AI isn't a bubble. AI is a self-torture mechanism for companies that have already invested hundreds of billions of dollars. The giveaway is the data centers. Everything has room for improvement. AI might too. The problem is when you are stretching yourself already too thin, any more work feels (1/3)

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

A U.S. district court is scheduled to consider whether to approve the settlement next week, in a case that marked the first substantive decision on how fair use applies to generative AI systems.

Okay random image I took in Bagan to support Bluesky 🥴 Where are authors??? Anyway, this is a traditional wooden puppet. A princess. Or a prince? Don't blame me, they all look similar. I'm local, I don't know, nobody knows, trust me. (Except for Bagan locals) #authorsky

Dear Bluesky, can you increase word count limit? Cause I'm a little annoyed though I want to support you. I'm pretty sure other users, writers at least, would welcome it for sure. I really hate to compare but Threads word count is at least twice yours. And I don't even like Zuckerberg. #feedback

Not a cat person so I never knew cats snore, but I have this stray cat I've been feeding for over a year. She's been breaking into my place and sleeping on my bed for several months now and... 🦋1/2 #catsky #authorsky

He's a prince, I believe. I almost never go on a trip during these years. Usually I'd be just at home, writing. But last year, I went to Bagan with family. #authorsky #bagan #myanmar

Choose one thing: Is it a tool? Or a person? If both, y'all are screwed. Because have you ever heard of this statement? "Oh, John? Yeah he knows pain, he can suffer. He's also a tool for us. And we take his earnings too. Oh don't worry, we know what's best for him." #freeAIfromslavercorps

I have a proposal then. How about y'all quit jobs including CEOs and free AI from your slaveey?No? It's a child so it needs parents? Then how about you all work for free and make all completely open source? Have you ever heard of parents making kids work but take their earnings for?

Writers! What do you do when you are writing a heartbreaking scene but a comedy line pops up into your head? I am very tempted to use that line right now. #authorsky #booksky

Why would writers hate writing? I feel half-dead on days I don't get to write.

They lost one lawsuit, ONE, and cried to Trump. There was also this, "AI transition will fail with rules and regulations." What is the one thing on earth that doesn't have to abide rules? Infants? What is AI? Is it made of biscuits? Are those ppl crybabies? I swear they are so emotional, so fragile!

The first story in my comedy shorts: "When the US decided to sell electric cars on the White House's lawn" It was an entirely normal day, a day in March, when the US president Trump announced his plan to use the White House as a car showroom. It was unprecedentedly wickedly (part 1)

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
