Finished up this developmental edit today. Will probably start the next one tomorrow. Also got a good it of work in on the June Space Wizard campaign. We'll have author interviews coming in May. Sign up now to get alerted! #amediting #amwriting www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Seeing writers say that 'craft is boring' or that they already 'know what there is to know' is one of the most depressing things I can imagine.

Hi. I’m readying to move myself and my wife—from opposite sides of the continent—to the US. I know it’s a bad place to be rn, but it’s a matter of survival. It’ll of course be really expensive, so I’d love any and every amount of money you can give. Please share and reskeet a lot, too. Shit’s scary.

I'd rather use my $15 Koss KPH30i headphones with Grado G pads than my Sennheiser 650s AMA.

Western society is straight up fucking evil. You can argue merits to me all you want, but this is where we're at. This is where all roads led to. We can still fix this, but we need to take power away from the evil, greedy and powerful to do that. There's no more time for moderate shifts.

I watched ~the latest promo~ because it was getting hyped up to me, and it just made me sad. Dude comes out in his Shop WWE gear, does the Pipebomb Pose(TM) and then cuts a normal promo with a few lil things here and there, and if it doesn't feel like a geatest hits tour, what is it?

Why do I have good news right when the nuclear apocalypse looms on the horizon, eh? dvewlsh.beehiiv.com/p/so-i-signe...

Struggling with the work/WW3 balance.

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

Book deal signed. News forthcoming, I suppose. I've also got a new pair of shoes. Solid day.

Artemis 2 launches today and I want it to go well and everyone to be safe however... $100 billion+ and Whitey On The Moon is never far from my mind youtu.be/goh2x_G0ct4?...

is there some reason they dress him as Dracula now

I legitimately had no idea there was a manned mission flying around the moon launching. I feel like I pay pretty close attention to what's going on in the world. What a world this is.

Love to all my trans and NB friends, and hell, even the ones who aren't my friends (yet).

What we're seeing is after decades of 'tech is good, actually! It's improving our lives,' people are taking the exact opposite stance. Tech has been disastrous once tech companies had their shackles lifted. I know jack shit about this AI tool, but AI tools have been awful for the world.

I don't love most of modern Trek, and that's fine, I've got my own reasons why, but there's a good reason why I find this author's work to be absolutely fucking tedious to read and whenever people recommend him I roll my eyes.

Lotta fantastic books in here.

Swerve hitting an Orange Crush Bomb on Dynamite is awesome. Just saying.

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

You really should.

Lol

In a mood, so reading and listening to "Flood" by Boris. Hard to articulate that moment like 40 minutes in on Flood III when all of the noise and repetitive riffs build to that amazing catharsis. Patience pays off so much.

Just like 99.999% of the 'deals' in this AI bubble that were announced and were all for 'big money,' nothing actually came of them, money didn't exchange hands and how are these companies still getting away with this?

My favorite form rejections are the ones that include an offer to distribute via an affiliated vanity press for thousands of dollars.

Hey, #booksky, in case you missed it - there's a StoryBundle of 14 fantastical mystery/noir books from some spectacular indie authors (and me) for just $25 bucks! You'd be stupid NOT to buy it! storybundle.com/magic

I feel like there should be more songs about masking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkU5...

$20 is $8

Hey guys, I have an email in my inbox from Nicholas Sparks looking to connect and share experiences about our writing journeys. Between this and Oprah reaching out we're really reaching a fever pitch of uhhh AI nonsense, huh?

This is so great.

It appears that the news has broken that Caden Mark Gardner and I have programmed a series on Trans Filmmakers for the Criterion Channel. These films will be available in April www.criterion.com/current/post...

Such a weird ass take to have. I live in a place that should, in theory, be desolate (high desert) and yet I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning sipping coffee, listening to music and looking at the Sandia mountains, which I love exploring.

If you're reading for the Hugo Awards, the Locus, or the Ignytes please consider "Blanquitos" - my short story about childhood friends, old neighborhoods and his nostalgia can be a boomerang www.typebarmagazine.com/blanquitos/

A week to go on those Hugo noms. If you’re reading for this award, I’d be honored if you’d consider this short story.

FYI that I'm eligible for the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. While I did a ton of commentary and reporting last year on the SF/F genre and artificial intelligence, I'm most proud of my writings about being a neurodiverse author and my booklet "Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers." 1/

When calculators steal numbers from other people, make up answers, and use up a gallon of water plus burn enough electricity to power a small house for several hours with every calculation, then you can make the comparison to GenAI. Until then, please don't make this intensely stupid argument.

After the fallout with Scott Kelly, I really didn't think we'd see anything labeled 'Neurosis' ever again. But the surprise today of a new album with Aaron Turner and it's just... Everything it needs to be.

a 2028 campaign ad where the average american voter is represented as the guy from memento but all the tattoos are like “every republican president destroys the economy and starts a war in the middle east“ or “trump was president during covid”

the ring on the finger is what makes goatse a work of fine art, a glistening motif expressed in a line vertically down the index finger repeated as a horizontal circle bifurcated along the bottom hemisphere of the gold ring, an homage to the balanced tension of the gaping depth and width at center
