AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The way I always simp for Robin Tunney in Empire Records…

Naomi Klein is always excellent.

Quite a lot of people lost someone, maybe an elderly relative, during the heatwave. My Aunt Barbara, very ill with advanced dementia, died yesterday aged 91. She was unmarried, no kids and I had been taking care of her affairs for the past few years. That’s the least interesting thing about her. 1

people are always amused/confused about how romance authors & readers keep doing things like organizing 1.5 million whistles or raising $1 million... but we read & write books where when everything is bleak, you pull together with your people & hope your way to victory. we rewired our brains.

Remember, there is no such thing as an A.I. artist. Desperate wannabes, maybe, but thieves and cheats for sure.

Can confirm. Have lived. Just yesterday, in fact.

Hi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at [email protected], thanks!

Oh wow, This is relevant to my interests.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Correct. This is bullshit. I know a lot of authors and we all fucking hate AI and won't ever use it.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

In comparison, my brother was reggae obsessed - my suffering parents would get constantly blasted by Rhythm Killers by Sly and Robbie (definitely one of reggae/rap great duos) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKsP...

41 (!) years later and the masterpiece that is So Red The Rose by #Arcadia still holds up. I was obsessed with this album back in the day. Cover art by fashion artist Tony Viramontes (who also did Janet Jackson's Control) Best listened to with headphones. #DuranDuran www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY0h...

Today, I shall make productive use of my school break to attempt to clean up the spare room. *laughs in manic*

If this was Dunk, Joong would’ve burnt these already…. js #JoongDunk #ppnaravit #PradaSS27

I potato you. ♥️

tried #viktorAndRolfFragrances Spice Bomb ages ago and wanted to love it, but didn’t😭Then I tried the Night Vision version today - GORGEOUS. Me: *excited* My fave #JoongArchen is the face! Salesgirls: we have no clue who that is🙁 Me: OMG I HAVE PICS ON MY PHONE- *suddenly realises I sound unhinged*

EXACTLY!

I am now officially on school break for FOUR WHOLE WEEKS!

Tiger-Shark Woods.

Now kiss. #JoongDunk

currently doing a unit on working in industry for my degree, so I have to take some hi res pics of my art and curate them. Here's a detail pic of my #ConnorStorrie piece... #HeatedRivalry

i'm gonna keep postin it

I finally have the colour scheme for my fictional elite private boy-kissing university! 🥰

For #WorldOceansDay today, stunning colour lithographs from William Saville-Kent's The Great Barrier Reef of Australia (1893), created from the author's original watercolour sketches: publicdomainreview.org/collection/i...

hey #writers just had it confirmed - social media following plays a huge part in deciding if a publisher will contract your next book. Pubs need a book that creates its own word of mouth, and apparently retailers are reluctant to support authors who don't have a massive platform. #writing #writersky

Best birthday present eva 🥰🥰🥰 #BTS

Yay it’s my birthday today!!! Still tryna manifest this….

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Give it up for KC Green @kcg.bsky.social the man behind 'this is fine', who just made an AI company take down his work. techcrunch.com/2026/05/31/t...

iTunes in 2001

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

My incredible sister works at a fabric store in Michigan and she made this very easy to follow adaptable pattern for a pride progress flag, sewed from reused scraps. I think the best part is the detailed instruction. seamsfabric.com/products/scr...

For anyone who remembers the After Episode specials that occurred during Last Twilight, they are doing them again for Ticket to Heaven. These aren't reactions but just the actors talking about about what happened in the episode and their thoughts. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Great stuff from @dkthomp.bsky.social Derek Thompson with @timmiller.bsky.social Tim Miller on a @thebulwark.com, lots about #AI AI writing loses what makes human expression interesting in the first place. Text in images quoted from Thompson #ArtificialIntelligence #Creativity #WritingCommunity

I almost applied to an anthology until I read the submission page more closely and noticed wording that implied they plan to claim perpetual exclusive ownership of the work, including reuse of the comic, film and television. DO NOT sign away your rights for a few hundred bucks.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

More mail today 🥰 (I should’ve been a buyer for a dept store fr bc the amount of joy I get from purchasing stuff - and not just for me- is…..lots)

Yay us 👏🏼

Update: no JoongDunk photo book 😭. Early birthday present tho (yay!!)

...guys, I've finally submitted my last two assignments for the semester - 29 pages and 47 pages !!!! *collapses in a heap*
