I don't even know if "ace" is an identity I feel strongly about. I view the label as a less-than-accurate placeholder for the mulitfaceted nature of erotic experience and feeling that exists untethered from the sex act. Does "asexual" successfully describe that for me? I don't know. However (1/6)

A friend recently told me their son said it was "rude" to read books on airplanes, bc the overhead light disrupts other passengers' screen time. Meanwhile tech assholes are out there reengineering all cultural infrastructure to favor the most obnoxious shit imaginable.

#HorrorWritersChat The haunted house is terrifying, but if the terror's inside you then everything you see and experience is filtered through terror. It changes who and what you are, and that's the scariest thing to me.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Jen Julian. I write placed-based gothic hauntings, ghosts everywhere but not in a shape you expect, the land might be sentient and also angry, the past is inescapable. My villain origin story would be a revenge spell I cast down by yon creek gone horribly wrong.

LLMs are the ultimate capitalist technology, part n: negative externality edition. Increase your productivity by instantly generating something you can pass off as "done" - and screw the people downstream who are going to use your outputs as their inputs.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:
