Goodnight from Crowhythe Museum of Curiosities, where the stuffed weasels are yet again attempting to remove the velvet waistcoats imposed upon them. Goodnight from Alfie Bray, wondering if it’s too late an hour to ring the local curse-breakers. Goodnight from Hookland.

I started watching this, and then I went "Eeeeee this is so shit!" and started laughing. 🤣

Seeing the AI 1776 trailer and thinking of the attendant excuse of "we wouldn't have the budget for this without AI" in relation to I, Claudius. Where the seams show, dodgy age makeup, an Ancient Room the size of a Hampton Inn lobby, and how it's still one of the best TV series ever made.

#WIPSnips Helena is NOT having a good day in Hell… (Pardon the redaction, but I needed to share one of my favorite bad jokes😆)

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

#WIPSnips 29. "Formation" *Cue final boss OST* (This is the OST that plays in my head, btw 😅: youtu.be/x0euNw-4YOo) #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

It kind disappeared in the shuffle. But Ep 6 of The Last Paladin is out. www.patreon.com/posts/147520...

Well, that's telling. As an experiment, I took the 'lgbt' tag out of Valentines Day 1 (left in 'gay' and 'mmromance') and... oh look what's just turned up in the searches again. 🙄

It’s really hard for Ren to stay mad…especially when Blake’s so good at thinking up punishments for himself (I’ve used this before, but it’s my only “formation”) #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity From A Paranormal Bromance 2 👻🚽

Ahahaha the book where I fade to black on a sex scene that's just starting is now NOT shadowbanned by Itch, and neither is the one with a sex scene right in the middle of it. The demisexual's dream evening of a nice meal and sleeping on his boyfriend, however? Noooo, delicate eyes can't see that!

Ah yes, when an old post randomly escapes containment for no reason and you start getting ridiculous comments on it. 😂

And the splash (hah) image for Valentine's Day [Take Two], which appears to *now* have been shadowbanned by Itch. Weirdly, before I took everything down, although the first one (no sex) was shadowbanned, this one (explicit talk) *wasn't*. 🙄 paxasteriae.itch.io/radial-valen...

The Fatal Frame 2 remake is coming out much sooner than I expected. 😯 I wonder if the Fallen Woman will continue to be an utter late-game pest? (She's scary when she drops from a high ceiling; she's just bloody annoying when she drops repeatedly from a low one.)

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Also, Google Translate took one look at this Romanian post and thought it was Samoan(???). And in Samoan, it's quite lovely and says "The family was small in parrots and cockatiels." In Romanian it's rather less pleasant.

#WIPSnips I don't use the word, but as an ADHD person I've heard it A LOT. So, here's executive dysfunction. Your brain says, "do this" and your body goes "nah". The slap triggers a fight response and maybe adrenaline, which can push past... sometimes. #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity

The world's on fire and marketing has felt weird if not insensitive, but I can offer some escapism to a demonstrably queer sect of Regency England. So, pick up The Lady and The List or The Gossip and The Guest and take a little break 📚💙 #queerbooks #historicalromance #queerromance #indieauthor

"He told me I have a lack of braincells" wails the person now banned for using a slur towards the person who was, apparently, quite accurate in their assessment. I love it when they report themselves.

Well this is a bit all over the place.

Good morning! Nearly there with my first daffodils of the year. 🌱 Hope you have a lovely day.

Nice to see multi billion dollar companies getting even more tax payers money so that they can afford to spend even more money lobbying our government to give them more money.

ai companies: our ai product is so intuitive, you’ll forget how you ever coped without it! everyone normal: huh this is shit ai companies: oh man sorry to hear you’re too thick to understand how to use it, we should get the government involved in educating you

Wise words

But remember, consenting adults can’t use apps like Patreon to pay for adult content on Apple devices. *That* would be immoral.

All those dreams and sparks society beats out of you? You can get those back. Do it sooner than I started.

#WIPSnips Trapped in a car together to follow a lead on the case, Brian is getting on Talia’s very last frayed nerve…

I just read 'happens' as 'potatoes.' I think it may be time for bed.

Hypothetically If I were to start up a directory (a spreadsheet, really, with a form attached) of dedicated no AI creatives you can hire for your project Would anyone be willing to help me vet those people before they get added to the list? I can see it blowing up real fast with artists

A Tennessee library has banned a book where cartoon chickens model historical undergarments and I’m sorry, I need this on my shelves immediately and probably you do too. A History of Underwear with Professor Chicken by Hannah Holt and Korwin Briggs hannahholt.com/store/a-hist...

Had quite a few instances of this word, thanks to a nickname my MC earns. This one’s from awfully close to the end, but what can I say, I love a little romance. Even when it’s complicated. Ah, young love. ☺️ #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙

I know Mina Su's lying, hypocritical gaslighting and transactional 'friendship' is great entertainment... but I can't stand her. Minji is increasingly looking like it's a struggle not to strangle her. 😂 The thing is she's stealing all the attention from the other contestants and it's annoying.

If you mean 'picture' literally, I know what my MCs look like. Always do. Never changes. If we're being slightly more metaphorical, it's pretty common that I was wrong about who they are, and they go charging off in an unexpected direction right out the gates

In today's weird subtitling, Dex said (emphatically in English), "No, never." Subtitles: "No, I don't think so."

Huh, it seems like a bit of the internet just fell over.

Who knew that dogs actually sleep in nests like birdies? 😂 (Or — whisper it — dreys like squirrels! 🫢) Apparently the need to Blanket was overwhelming.

Just started this week's Singles Inferno, and I think one of the commentators has just almost died of second-hand embarrassment over Mina Su's behaviour. 😂

reminder that i have a podcast about asian dramas with dear friend noria if you'd like to hear a nigerian woman and welsh woman talk about mostly c and kdramas! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#WIPSnips: Storm I was torn between a quote from the very messy book 2, or the slightly less messy book 4, so I went for book 4 and Alex just casually threatening people while they're supposed to be laying low. He's never quite got the hang of subtle.

#WIPSnips 27. "Storm" Most of the "storm" in EF comes from the Moonlight Storm, so... here's Nitara getting hyped. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #CaptainNitara #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

AI is really pissing me off today! What is the point of writing or sharing anything online anymore when everything is just stolen and repurposed for AI slop? Even AI summaries (which I try to ignore) quote my own work back to me amongst a jumble of misinformation. I'm honestly ready to give up. 😮‍💨

I'd like to try Skylight, but the app doesn't open on either of my phones. I guess it's just not for me. 😂

I've just seen a TikTok where someone said took a photo of a quote in a book and wrote, "Whoever said this is so right." And... 'Whoever'? You could just... close the book and look? 🤦

If you spam a brand with 34-and-counting messages demanding a sponsorship, do you know what you're not gonna get?
