Ohh, I love this!

Crying, what even is this nonsense anymore 😭

Three hours? Yes, please 👀

When you're so amazing at your marketing job that the best you can come up with is "Look! This book doesn't have icky girl cooties!" Someone got paid for this. With money 😭 Seriously, if your whole thing is positioning yourself against what you are NOT, then what even ARE you? I sure don't know 🤷‍♀️

"lol it doesn't matter if the Duolingo AI constantly makes mistakes, real people also make mistakes all the time :)" Tell me you don't understand how language works without telling me that you don't understand how language works.

A “celebration of Dahlias”, picked from the garden yesterday before Jack Frost spirits them away. Wouldn’t “celebration” be a lovely collective name for a bunch of these beautiful flowers? Wishing you all a happy Monday 💕

Good article on the targeting of Australian authors by scammers posing as publishing service providers (I've been reporting on these scams since 2022--one of the markers for them is that, unlike other publishing scams, they sell ghostwriting services) www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

Hey. Hey, why are you talking to your spy robot instead of the friend you're allegedly playing the game with? Is he also in voice? Can he hear you ordering the 1k tissue boxes to his house? Is he just used to this? What is going on here?

Just put the whole menu on one sign on the wall behind you, I am begging. Not spread across multiple images on intermittently changing screens. Not switching to an image-only ad every five seconds. Just the list of things you sell, in full.

Yep, once you've modded any decently sized community for any length of time, you know why sometimes the mods just swing the banhammer and get on with their day. No, it might not be a *popular* decision, but if you agonise over every "stern warning or two-day suspension", you'll simply go insane.

Goat.

What do you MEAN, "slipped through", why was that in there to begin with?! Just draw some shitty stick figures and call it a day until the actual artists, whose job it is to make these, get to it. If you use AI for a "placeholder", it was never a placeholder.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

The Residents of James Hotel by @chaoticauthor.online is such a fun little horror. You can check into the James Hotel but you won't ever leave... Review: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f31a... #booksky

Friday cuteness overload 💚

This entire video is probably a much more entertaining experience than playing the game (at least if you were hoping for an actual VtM RPG), but specifically the section about the game's history is absolutely wild. "Toreador origin was supposed to be locked behind $30 DLC" took me the fuck out 💀

It's dark, it's cold, it's the perfect time for a cosy read. When Mira inherits her late uncle's potion shop in the tiny town of Emberglen, she doesn't plan to stay. But things pan out differently than expected, and soon, she has to fight for her new home. Pre-order 👉 books2read.com/potions-and-...

This turbulent November on the blog, I'm talking about choosing projects, and why it's so important for a working artist or writer to get that decision right. I'll also show off my system for choosing a manuscript that actually works! 🖊️📚💻

Only 99 cents! It’s Halloween in Marble Springs, TX and Abe just wants to make it out alive. But between the vengeful ghosts in his apartment, the lake monster he’s tasked with destroying, and being targeted by dueling serial killers, it doesn’t look good! amzn.to/3TizhOT

This is the actual embodiment of "books as a product", and it is so, so bleak. I don't think these people even like romance novels. They just sound exactly like tech bros who try to reinvent the wheel for the sake of it, without even understanding their own industry.

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming by the perimeter fence day to all who celebrate. A solemn 30 second screaming before vanishing will take place at 11am.

Review #100 of 2025 goes to: MG Mason @chaoticauthor.online: The Residents of James Hotel, (4.)5⭐ A well-written, wonderfully atmospheric, slightly eery ghost story with a lot of charm & great characters, plus some ace-rep as a side-quest. I loved it! -- #BookReview 💙📚🩸📚😱 #KindleUnlimited 👀📚📢📚🤏

Gonna write these into a book specifically for the people who will complain about the alleged anachronism 😈

Time-zone repost ⏰

AGAIN?! Okay, time to roll up my sleeves and yell at politicians some more. Fuck's sake, they're like roaches in there...

I really miss the days when a "writing prompt generator" was just a silly little program that randomly tossed together pre-programmed words and phrases according to a pattern, like "A __ meets a __ and together they __ ." You'd get some wild results, but it was fun, and made by real people 🧡

Queerly beloved, I have a decade+ of experience in network systems administration and cybersecurity and will move anywhere it's safe for a trans woman to live. If you know of any openings, please pass 'em on

One of the many reasons we have to fight the rise of the far right is the risk they pose to undoing the progress we *have* made.

Happy Fenton Day to all who celebrate. Jesus Christ, fourteen years. youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU

Started watching MURDERBOT and now I don't wanna go to work, I just want to watch MURDERBOT, which is pretty much the plot of MURDERBOT.

Maybe if they weren't trying to make these things look liked jacked dudes and gave them a lower centre of gravity, this shit wouldn't be so embarrassing every time. At least this one's not a Mechanical Turk like mElon's bartender? Lowest of bars, I suppose, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never give up. Somewhere in the world, there's a haunted manor house on the moors with a mysterious caretaker, indifferent cats, and secret libraries within libraries, waiting for you in the darkness.

Sunshine on my whiskers makes me happy. 🎶🎼🎤 Happy #WhiskersWednesday ❤️

Another day, another extremely legit offer asking me to introduce my book that isn't even out yet to a definitely real book club. No, I didn't just ask ChatGPT to rewrite the blurb for me to make it sound like I read it! You know, the book that isn't even available right now! Pls give me money? 👉👈

🐉 🌈📚 New LGBTQ+ book releases: November 12, 2025. 🔗 Find them here: bit.ly/m/QBR Happy reading, y'all! 🖤🤟🏼 #queerbookreviews #sapphicromance #queerromance #mmromance #mmromancebooks #lgbtbooks #mmbooksky #sapphicbooksky #queerbooksky #readqueerallyear #booksky #romancelandia

Not sure what I was hoping for. But this isn't it. —As a pro creator first. I won't be supporting ARC Raiders any more. No matter how well my lore videos did. It's a matter of livelihood and principles. Machines shouldn't replace human creativity. That's the line.

...I mean, I genuinely thought they'd set up Nomi from No Time to Die to be the next Bond protagonist, was that just me? Did the script not intend for me to assume this? I just kinda rolled with that, tbh, like what do I care who the next "Bond" is, I went from Connery to Craig, too, no problem 🤷

Controversial* opinion maybe, but if you teach accounting AT A UNIVERSITY LEVEL, your students have never even heard of the concept of deferred revenue, and YOU need ChatGPT to help you explain it to them, NONE OF YOU should be within a hundred feet of a university. *not really

I've been flagging a little in my reading because Stuff Keeps Happening, so I figured I'd pick my holiday reads early, and you all can yell at me if I don't read any of these 😂 📚💙

Allow me to yap about one of my other books, in between yapping about the new one that's coming out on the 25th^^
