It made me cry.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

But the point (there is a point) is, people fetishise the idea over the hard work of plotting and character development and research and internal consistency and just writing the fucker, because the Idea is the sparkly magic bit. And this is what makes them put value in the AI prompt.

I've had a few 'what do you do' convs recently, and everyone on hearing I'm an author comes out with "so how do you come up with ideas?", just like every book or movie about a writer has them staring numbly into space because they don't have an idea for the next book. And look, that is Not It.

Throwback to this Blade Runner sketch. It's wild how I used to think I couldn't be autistic because I didn't stack cans or arrange my toys in a row. Kiddo, you definitely arranged something.

By my count there will only be one (1) trans character on all of the major networks and streaming services as of January 2026.

got asked, by a very nice person, 'why don't you use chatGPT in your writing' and their argument was that it's just like using google to research: a modern tech that will enhance my work. all the obvious issues aside, I don't want to be modern. I want to be artisanal.

I don't write my books chronologically, like page one to page 400. Instead, I can have 150 pages of notes, dialogue snippets, and etc. and I'll hop around and flesh out various scenes. So I can have 40k or 70k but huge gaps between scenes and chapters, still.

In Texas, a new law has redefined “parental rights” to mean that a single parent now has the right to remove a book from libraries district wide because the the story of a boy unicorn with eyelashes offends them.

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

I've written a short story every month for about 10 years, and it made me very good at the repetitive form of beginning/middle/end. Endings are easy for me because the key to the ending is always in the beginning. Here's easy hack from a workshop talk I gave awhile back:

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day to all who celebrate

Had a moment yesterday where I almost threw out the #wip. Then finished reading God's War and reminded myself how many passes it took to layer all that in. Went back to the #wip, did some world building layering, and felt much better about it. It's the first half that's always the hardest.

So the ten quid, originally awarded in 1972 to put towards a Christmas dinner, presents etc. should’ve increased with inflation so it was worth £168 today. The tight fuckers.

"AI is getting better and better. Soon you'll be out of your job." Meanwhile, language learning models are still pulling this shit several years in. We've all read The Emperor's New Clothes, right?

Every baby trans girl is imprinting hard on Rumi this cycle, right? And that’s okay! That’s fine! They need this! Don’t be weird about it!

I think the fact it's harder and harder to opt out of having a fucking mediocre insensate program write for you is the most infuriating thing. It helps that like her I write longhand drafts, but having to disable things in Word or just ignore them is becoming annoying AF.

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

It's a lovely morning on the internet and you are a horrible queer! Drop your links to queer books! Yours, someone else's, tradpub, indie, share ALL THE QUEER BOOKS to make a fash shit themselves. Go!!!

A reminder too that bsky’s new guidelines literally forbid “illustrated CSAM.” That doesn’t exist. There is no victim in a drawing (unless it is a drawing a real actual person). “Drawn CSAM” is an insult to every survivor everywhere. It literally dehumanizes us as being the same as an anime OC.

They aren't bringing ID cards in to make people's lives easier, they are specifically bringing them in to make certain people's lives harder.

Smut fans: When a blorbo ejaculates "hot come" just how warm are we talking here? Because, uh, a man's balls are external for a very good reason...

I guess if you draw a character getting boned make sure they have a big smile and are giving a thumbs up

you can spin literally any sexual image as noncon or dubcon if someone dislikes you enough and wants your account banned. that will only be used as another tool ppl can use for harassment, not keeping blsky a sexually safe space

I read Hold Me Like a Grudge by Celine Ong, which is not just a sports romance but a sports romance about pro wrestling. I don't even know who I am any more. (Really enjoyed it.)

Frightening and important piece for any Brit looking at the US collapse and thinking it couldn't happen here. It could, and there are people out there right now who want it to.

Amusingly patronising pieces about romance are now illegal. If published within a week of Valentine's Day the sentence is doubled.
