So I did a thing. I shared the first chapter of my book on Patreon. I’d love it if you’d check it out, if you have any interest in vampires. There will eventually be magic and kissing. #WriteSky #Romance #Paranormal #WritingCommunity www.patreon.com/posts/vampir...

I find it helpful to say that they are structurally indifferent to truth. Even when they're right it's incidental to the process

New Wiswell story! It's very good, which you knew already because New Wiswell story! (please imagine this as a short loop tiktok/shorts video)

The use of “hallucinate” is a stroke of true evil genius in the AI world. In ANY other context we’d just call them errors & the fail rate would be crystal clear. Instead, “hallucinate” implies genuine sentience & the *absence* of real error. Aw, this software isn’t shit! Boo’s just dreaming!

A lot of Canucks feel pride at a Canadian astronaut on a moon mission. The Carney government is milking this opportunity to associate itself with those good feelings while cutting nearly a third of all funding for Canada's space agency. www.canada.ca/en/treasury-...

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

Meet my fabric art creation: Bark the Ancient Statue. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered him. No one is quite sure what kind of animal Bark is. When asked if he's a dog or a seal, he says yes. When asked if he's some other kind of creature, he also says yes. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

People in comics & the British fantasy scene! If you were around in the 80s-90s & are willing to speak on or off the record about Gaiman, please DM me or reach out on email. I will put you in touch with someone working on a longform piece. They are wondering why no one, so far, is willing to talk.

Also *clears throat* several people replied to this like "I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS COMING OUT" and yeah! If you're not like me (on here several hours a day) you're not gonna see things fly by on the timeline! Here you go! :D PREORDERS ARE LOVE

Free newsletter: We need to talk about the inherent weirdness of the AI bubble, and how strange it is that an industry that loses billions of dollars to create few productivity benefits is described as a disruptive technology rather than an industry of WeWorks. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-really...

Well, this disgusting. Allpoetry, a really commonly used poetry platform, took people’s poems and fed them to AI to “turn them into” songs. As an “April Fools joke.” And then issued a sorry you were offended. If I were a poet, I would reconsider hosting there. allpoetry.com/topic/269102...

ProPublica has marketed themselves as the good guys doing trustworthy news. I even gave them the money I used to give WaPo before they flipped the breakers on democracy. Make their actions align with their words. don't cross the picket line and demand they deliver what their advertising promises.

I'm disabled and queer and care about other people. Every part of my life has been politicized by opportunistic bigots. I am not losing "half" of an audience by writing about my own life. A singer does not have an audience if they require his silence.

I can give you no reassurance in this world, only smut. Part four. Very gay. Very high heat. Still free.

Self-published writers aren’t real writers. Trad-published writers aren’t real writers. I’ve told you guys a thousand times: writers are made up. They aren’t real.

I've sold two premade covers with smoking characters on them and normally I remove things once they're out of stock but I think it's important to keep all the smoking lore intact so I am leaving them.

I have not regretted cancelling a ton of my subs to media that is disappointing me and transferring it to media that does not

It makes sense when you think that the stock market is essentially a ponzi scheme on steroids- as long as a critical mass of people believe- the thing will hold up and provide some returns, the moment more than X people lose faith, the whole thing topples and burns overnight & leaves everyone broke

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

"And all that is best of dark and bright  Shall emerge from what has ionised.   [—ise—]  [—surprised at the amount of junk data in here. What the hell is this thing returning my pings with?" @joberry.bsky.social's lyrical "The Song Shines On" is now live! www.dreamtheory.media/the-song-shi...

I keep drawing people with either missing hearts, hearts being devoured or eaten, or things pouring out from their hearts. i'm sure that's nothing I need to worry about or think too deeply about, lol

The world is terrible. Have a smiley boi.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Feudalism didn’t end. It incorporated.

you will never guess what this is a response to

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Coming down to the wire and still need to pull together $350 somehow. If anyone has leads, or needs some editing done, give me a shout.

And motherfuckers are still out there stealing every bit of our works they can get their grubby little mitts on.

It’s my book birthday! 🎉 A DANCE OF BURNING BLADES, Book 2 of The Invoker Trilogy, is out in the UK today! Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this journey! Get ready for battles, ancestor magic, and big revelations! See below for links to the Goldsboro and Illumicrate exclusion editions!

Well. I think it's done. Home of Giants 34x38 Oil on canvas 2026 It is available. Get it while we're all still here. Based on a JWST Nircam image of a stellar nursery & the home of the massive stars Pismis 24-1 & 2 which are 74 & 66 times the size of our sun #sciart #astronomy

If you remember life before smart phones, you were also younger, living in a different economy, with different problems. So many people mistake "the last time I was happy was when X person was in my life/my parents paid my bills/I had not been through Y" for "the past was better". Embarrassing.

Happy Asexual awareness day! As someone on the gray-ace spectrum, I wondered if I should even post, but then I realized "am I queer enough?" is the queerest question you can ask yourself, so, here's to all of you who have ever asked yourself the queerest question of all time. Yes. You are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

So I’ve been geeking out on moon stuff all day but hey, if ye care: my new collection of Iron Druid stories comes out tomorrow. It’s called THE GREAT BIG BEAR AND OTHER STORIES OF THE IRON DRUID CHRONICLES, and if you want to snag the preorder special, only hours remain to do so:

Great news! @miniminuteman.bsky.social is showing hole. Yes, I knew what a thermokarst was already but you need Milo to tell you about it.

I wrote about this image years ago when it was taken. Yes, it's real! www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/an...

Me: *in tears* It's so amazing that all of humanity has set aside their differences to partake in this amazing scientific expedition, isn't it amazing, Fiasco? Fiasco: MURDER MURDER KILL KILL

I’m known for my romances, but I have an ongoing series that centers a queer-platonic relationship. They of the West is a buddy adventure into cannibalism canyons that ends with a foot-fighting match. The Gilded Veil follows these BFFs to the big city to seek their fortune. 50% off both!

A lovely bouquet 🐇💐

🖤💜 Happy international asexuality day! 🖤💜🐀 (oldie but goldie)

you don't actually hate what you're creating. if it was made by someone else, you'd like it. you'd say it's cool. you'd say it's inspiring. you can easily imagine another artist drawing this, and someone else liking it. you only doubt it because it's yours. stop. it's okay. you're allowed to be.

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

It's ace day! 🖤🤍💜 In case you didn't know, I'm a biromantic asexual, much like the main character of my Echo Archives series, the badass but tired new mom Kembral Thorne, who would love to have fun at this party but is stuck in a murder time loop with her cat burglar nemesis instead

The House of Shattered Wings, by @aliettedebodard.com (pub by @awfulagent.bsky.social) is the perfect choice if you want to read a murder mystery of epic scope that is not short of complex characters as pieces on the board. Full review: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚
