It's a day or so behind (ssshhh) but here's another weekly round-up for #WyrdAndWonder26 - deargeekplace.com/wyrd-and-won...

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Who the hell is doing this?? Mind your goddamn manners!

I am not on TikTok. I will never be on TikTok. This bethcato2 account is impersonating me and direct messaging writers in an effort to sell marketing services. Any account pretending to be me on TikTok is fraudulent.

Joanne Harris: mary did you come over to my house earlier Mary Shelley: no Harris: yeah, sure ya did Harris: don't you remember? Harris: you were kind of menacing lurking in the shadows at my threshold like some kind of uncanny inhuman doppelganger? Shelley: no Poe: that does sound like you, mary

#WyrdAndWonder26 Fantastic Fives: Transformations It's time for me to join this year's Wyrd and Wonder for some wonderful and weird reads, prompts, and other fun activities. Moon magic by Varvara Gorbash TRANSFORMATIONS This prompt is about tales of change, not shapeshifters (those come later in…

Monday morning means it's time for a #WyrdAndWonder26 Adventure Log! deargeekplace.com/wyrd-wonder-...

Yesterday I made my first successful batch of focaccia. Today it is almost gone (shared with family) and I am bereft. The bug has bitten me and I blame @mostlybree.kitrocha.com 😂

I know the law

Tomorrow’s Wyrd & Wonder prompt invites us to reflect on the fantasy we've enjoyed since last May, and I’m tackling it a day early because I am a chaos goblin. Time for some short reviews of fantasy I’ve read since last #WyrdAndWonder

Soooo many amazing sounding books on this list! Where to start? 😄 #WyrdAndWonder26

(1 of 2) WARNING: SCAM EMAILS PRETENDING TO BE FROM ME. They offer very specific feedback on writing in progress/posted or self-published works, then propose an offline conversation. They are coming from this address: [email protected].

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID. Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name. No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

If you are pro-Ai, then PLEASE block me as well. Yes, I am a luddite. I just bought a book on ye olde craft skills, for gawds sakes. Go on, race off into the glittering future of tech scams and fake shit. Leave me behind. Let me rot in the past. I want to die here, covered in art.

Ich did not make thys, but Ich wisshe Ich did. Repost yf you are a proud member of the Gen AI Backlash.

No. NO.

I hear indie coffee shops are a thing I hear they’re pretty good too

Just a quiet reminder from me to you that April is Women in SF&F month at @fantasycafe.bsky.social and you should really check it out!

The last relationship I had was Incredibly Shitty and when it finally ended I was over £1000 in regular debt simply because he wouldn’t pay his share of our rent every month. Do not downplay the impact of financial abuse.

I will go on with my day but I would like it to be noted that I did so with the deepest of sighs.

Change is possible.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

PSA to my fellow Zoom users -- it's automatically turned on a bunch of A.I. features without asking you✌️ to turn all 32 of them off, go to "Settings" --> "My Account" --> "View advanced features" it'll open up your browser and list a SHITTON of A.I. features, many of which will be on (scroll!)

Also known as Stay The Fuck Off The Internet Day.

If you are freaking out and need help doing this, TELL BLUESKY. One of us will help you! DO IT!

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

This is indeed a new one and it’s awful.

While I don’t feel like I’ve been watching a lot of films recently, I seem to have watched a lot of films recently (as well as rewatching some favourites). Time to look back at the last three months of big picture entertainment, albeit watched on a small screen
