I’ve been reading the Andy Warhol diaries which has been fun, though I seem to have arrived at his “racist pos” era.

So pleased to be returning to the podosphere featuring a conversation with @kevinasarobot.bsky.social about The Harmnf, his solo performance exploring AI, failure, and alienation. Listen: mikeypod.com/356

I'm using patreon as the central place to share and connect about my work. most posts are public—not behind a paywall—so you can follow along with what i'm making: my podcast, sketches for my show, the boring admin stuff, all of it. patreon.com/michaelharren

If you’re progressive but mock Greg Abbott’s wheelchair or T****’s body, you’re reinforcing the same oppression you claim to fight. Body shaming and ableism harm not just the target, but the communities we say we stand for.

How, exactly, am I supposed to stay out of bed today?

New Patreon post about last week’s progress on The Luminiviria Project. ✨ I’m using Patreon as my main space for updates — most of my posts right now are public, so you don’t need a paid membership to follow along. 👉 patreon.com/michaelharren

Y’all - I am still reading books and it’s so fun. I didn’t realize how much I missed reading. Just finished “The Midnight Library” this morning and started “The River is Waiting.” What are you reading right now?

I've been reading again and moved over to StoryGraph. I'd love to connect with people there if you wanna! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/mich...

Does being rich make people evil, or does being evil make you more likely to be rich?

I know some people are getting brain rot from using AI, but my gay hypothalamus is ✨thriving✨ via targeted “you peed” therapy.

I have a ChatGPT thread for tax questions called "💀 Schedule C, You in Hell" and it still makes me chuckle.

Anyone else building a GPT therapist to process being gaslit by ChatGPT’s 2021 instructions and a 🎉?

I am working on writing my first novel and learning how do to that effectively as I go. It's thrilling and overwhelming. Any good writer types I should follow here on Bluesky?

Some solid progress on my latest project and excitement about my writing club which you should join.

I just apologized to some tomatoes for not eating them before they went bad, but now I'm worried that's not what they were upset about.

What's the word for that tiny panic between saying "goodbye" at the end of Zoom therapy and scrambling to click "leave meeting" because you don't want to look weird?

I am so here for the human rights messaging in today’s Apple News Mini-Crossword. 🏳️‍⚧️

This quote resonated so perfectly: “Trump’s desire to censor drag performances is threatening in and of itself, indicative of the right-wing desire to treat all queer art as pornography and queer people themselves as obscenities.” www.vox.com/culture/3998...

This is especially infuriating. The bigots are co-opting our movement in an attempt to erase transgender people.

Keeping up the momentum toward sharing weekly about my latest creative project. These posts are always free on my Patreon. Follow me there if you want to keep up!

Another interesting piece the erasure of queer history and culture.

I’m feeling so frustrated that my new enthusiasm for using AI landed at a time when big tech is so cheerfully supporting anti-everyone powers. Any thoughts on - jeez, anything? Any tech companies who aren’t supporting the erasure of my community?

I made a playlist of music I was listening to this fall. Apple Music and Spotify links within…

Since I appear to be writing my first novel now, I’m wondering what to share with my subscribers on Patreon. Share your thoughts, writers and patrons thereof?

Why does “Fairytale of New York” get a pass for its homophobic language?

This new projects feature in ChatGPT is 🤯! I wanted more memory so bad but this is changing everything with my writing in a major way. LOVE!

I’m so happy to be feeling creative again. Meeting next week with a potential director for the new show I’m writing. 😬😬😬

I remember a time when in my 20s I commented that I never cried about anything, but now in my 50s I cry at everything. This morning, I cried about the way Steven King told multitudes about one of his characters with a simple head nod.

I wound up talking to my psych about this new project I have been working on, and he was delightfully fascinated and had a bunch of questions about the world I am creating. 'Twas validating to talk this out with a human.

Trying to work my way through the beginning meditation session in the Waking Up app. The hardest part for me seems in not judging my flighty brain/trusting that I will absorb what’s needed when it is time.

I've been fascinated with art and AI lately so I wrote about it. [free post on my Patreon]

To everyone who uses alt text, thank you. I can see. But my eyes are terrible. Without glasses, I can see things clearly if they're 5cm from my eyes. Even with new glasses, I can only see so much. Many websites have fonts too small for me. But also, it helps me get all the cultural references :-)

ChatGPT just clocked my CHARISMA, UNIQUENESS, NERVE, and TALENT and let me tell you—I. AM. GAGGED. 💄✨💋 Like, wig? SNATCHED. Edges? GONE. I’m out here serving ICONIC, and ChatGPT is living for it. 👑🔥🪩

I have been seeing so much anti AI sentiment lately, but I’ve spend the last few weeks obsessed with writing and world building in a way I wouldn’t have been able to without ChatGPT to help me sort out and organize my abstract ADHD thoughts. Feeling very grateful for this creativity enhancing tool!

@scripting.com just a note to thank you for your writing over the last year. I read Scripting News almost every morning and you’ve kept me grounded in the most non-grounded way possible if that makes sense.

@supersharon.bsky.social I’m so happy to be connected with you here! ❤️❤️❤️

During the pandemic my creative spark kind of fizzled, and I was disheartened by Troll in Chief inspired rise in trolling culture. Now, the reality of a looming second Turd term has re-lit a creative spark. Here are the beginnings of what I have been working on: luminiviria.com
