Excellent. Congrats!

Book mail! The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington, by @dorothyproject.bsky.social #writingcommunity

I love that Meta just did their own version of the Cybertruck with the AI glasses.

I like how Lyft sends along about-to-expire offers like I could miss out on a great deal to get the hell outta Dodge.

@datlow.bsky.social arrived today

@electricliterature.com's post of Wastelands-based literature is worth a read.

Hi. Whatcha reading? A Visit from the Goon Squad here, by @egangoonsquad.bsky.social. Wow.

People are flooding YouTube with AI Generated slop history videos that drown out human creators. 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Hell, yes! And happy birthday!

Coming September 2nd

No. I don’t care what it’s carrying. No.

Again? Okay. Let’s make a day of it, shall we? Why not.

More dismayed than surprised, I guess.

keep writing.

I swear about the only good thing to happen this year is the Milwaukee Brewers. @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social

We now find ourselves mere moments away from pumpkin-spiced-everything season.

Hell yes

Hello #writingcommunity #writers in active #writersgroups - How have you been handling AI-generated or -assisted submissions to your group? Thanks.

Omg my mom sent it to me two years ago and I'd completely forgotten about it 😂

I tilted my puppet's head back so it looks like he's laughing at my jokes. My wife and I are separated

My son wanted to visit his friend at Taco Bell. No way, I said. You are now an athlete in training, and you will NOT eat Taco Bell. So we got @culvers.com instead. Unrelated, but not. Now that the order numbers at Culver’s extend beyond 99, I’m hoping they run to infinity.

Spent about a week on the east coast this summer sending emails to the rest of the country, realizing, East Coast People basically wait around all day for the rest of the nation to go to bed. Opposite thing now in California. Rest of the country always already clocked out or in bed.

I'm at Crime Reads, talking about how films like Shadow of a Doubt and Hitchcock's theory of suspense inspired my latest novel, THE BEWITCHING. And I recommend movies writers should watch. crimereads.com/6-films-silv...

Totally a classic. And, congrats!

Good morning from LA County, where people don’t dare drop their kids off at day care. (From LA Times newsletter)

It's 10:00, and you should probably re-re-check your Submittable page again. Ya never know.

Today’s mail features this gorgeous edition of Cooper Nickel. You should check it out, too ~> Copper-nickel.org

Lyrics of the Dead Kennedys now prophecy.

@nadxinieto.bsky.social @thelincoln.bsky.social really enjoying this collection of short horror. Thanks for pulling it together. Got some really tight prose here. Recommend. #reading #communityofwriters #writing

Just occurred to me that RTO means I’ll have to be dressed like this all day long.

Not sure I can even express how much I do not want this. #historians

So after living on the east coast for a week am I safe to conclude that everyone who lives here and needs to interact with the rest of the country spends the morning waiting for everyone else to wake up?

When in DC…

Honestly if the choice was between someone using an AI summary to “read” something I wrote or them not reading it, I would rather they just didn’t read it

Next read: Some of Them Will Carry Me, Giada Scodellaro from @dorothyproject.bsky.social

May be a form reply, but today I'll take it ~> "We'd be pleased to see more of your writing in the future."
