We are hostile to anyone being less than supportive because we understand where this two step you're doing into transphobia leads. And that place you're softly stepping your way towards is full of the bodies of our dead friends, put there by folks just asking questions about our humanity.

Still need to get the rest of my rent taken care of ASAP. Any donations and shares are SO appreciated!

So. I did the things they say you're supposed to do. I lost 46% of my body weight (did not waste away, if you doubt me, ask @mostlybree.kitrocha.com about my guns) and I'm in the gym every other day. Surprise! I'm just as chronically ill as I ever was. I just weigh less while doing it.

We need to reclaim the term "welfare." It's one of many words that the US right has poisoned, but truly, it's necessary. simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare

Reminds me of the "Sanskrit word for War" bit in the film ARRIVAL. Between two linguists with the same task, only one understood the cultural undertones and history of the people to find the more correct answer. "AI" can't make a decision like that. "AI" can't "understand" anything. Fuck "AI".

...and its value is being inflated to such an extent that when this bubble pops, 2008 is gonna look like a hiccup, and the people who are driving this bus are divided between those who are trying to create the basilisk so it doesn't eat THEM, and those who are trying to cause human extinction.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

I’m just going to put this out there: if you follow me and your profile says you’re a writer but you post about using AI, I will block you. I don’t care what you use it for. Doesn’t matter.

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social--just sayin'.

I have a bunch of new stuff to upload so uhh. Store is 20% off, including the sterling section, all day. LGBTQIA+ staffed and owned, we ship for free over $50 in the US. Thanks for the shares and peeks! www.peculiarityshop.com

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

"Despite the fantastical Afrofuturistic setting... every artifact I stole currently exists in the real world... I hated the feeling that this fantasy of stealing back the bones of venerated ancestors would be the closest thing to justice that my extended cultural family would ever get"

Me: *plaintively* my electric blanket isn't dry yet and I'm cold Spouse: you have a blanket right beside you Me: it'd a boring acoustic blanket Spouse: what Me: it isn't electric

Out today: This absolute banger of a book that I absolutely loved and blurbed! Go get STRANGE ANIMALS by @jarodkanderson.bsky.social because you will dig it and be happy

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

I bought some Kindle copies of my horror novel BEDFELLOW to gift to interested patrons over at my Patreon. So if you sign up now for $3, you can still grab a copy. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

During the Japanese Internment, their property was confiscated by the government and/or sold for as little as 10% of their value to locals. I just wonder what happens to immigrants' homes and other property when they're send to a camp and deported?

guesslop, even

Since I have a lot of new followers, I will re-up this. Some folks just wanted to buy a couple whistles from us instead of getting 100-1000 FOR FREE (which you can do at the linktree in my bio!!!!!) I just kinda stopped doing my day job at this point but etsy keeps us afloat! 🤣💓

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

if you want a real easy way to be a chad do not get involved in this on any level. I dont scold people for their tastes but JK Rowling has said repeatedly she puts the revenue generated by Harry Potter right into anti trans political organizations and legislation

Got hit with a $3000.00 vet bill yesterday. Still looking for work. So, uh, buy my books, maybe? www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/EC2/e...

The horrors persist, but so must I. And my persistence means making sure people know about my job so I can feed the cats, pay the mortgage, and help support the causes I believe in. With this in mind, the reprint editions of IMAGINARY NUMBERS and CALCULATED RISKS are out today!

There's a type of guy who, in the last 10 years, has been wrong about crypto, NFTs, Web3, DAOs, and the Metaverse, and yet is bullish that he'll finally get it right with AI.

**jazz hands** here's my thread on eligible poems! bsky.app/profile/alwa...

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

Mabel is currently available at my Big Cartel shop. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

E-books just added to bookshop.org and, unlike certain half-assed grifters, weren't made with A.I. www.books2read.com/m-walshwrites #BookSky #ReadSky #Books #NoAI #Fantasy #IndieBooks

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship. Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

Heads up that this same company runs Emerald City Comic-Con, PAX, and others

literally four months ago @discord.com had a data breach that exposed 2.1 million ID photos used for age verification and because that went so well, they want EVERYONE'S ID now cybersecuritynews.com/discord-data...

QRP with your women art! women are my favorite guy and well i do think it shows

musk sucks. time to let him know. because if you think this won’t f up the night sky and make it really hard to launch space flights or really anything except musk satellites and space debris, think again.

Article includes how you can comment. You might want to: the FCC has fast-tracked Musk's plan to obliterate our night skies and make space debris a common hazard.

hey @discord.com what the fuck is this? can you please fucking not? remember that time NOT EVEN SIX MONTHS AGO when you had a huge data breach and your users' IDs were leaked? and you think we're all gonna be signing up for more of that shit?

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher is $2.99! A great Goose Girl retelling! bookshop.org/a/1382/97812... amzn.to/4tnFawi

I have a lot of thoughts about the "I can generate 200 books a year you can only do 2 at most if you actually write the things, I win" bullshit, and no time to yell about all of it. So I'll just say this:

When documentaries talk about the hunting prowess of big cats, I'd like them to admit THE PUMA IS FLUFFIN' ADORABLE AND HUMAN PREY CAN BE LURED IN WITH SLOW BLINKS AND A TUMMY TIME INVITATION.

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

I have heard this about calling myself fat so often that I have a stock response at this point: I recognize that word makes you uncomfortable, I am sorry you are having a feeling it is difficult for you to manage, I’m still gonna need you to manage your feelings and not my language. 

well here's the official version for people who want the nfl to be fully aware that we are watching it repeatedly youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8?...

The thing about the word queer is that is was, at one point. used as a slur so a certain generation asking you not to use it makes sense. However, for me, I like the nebulousness of queer. It's roomy. It doesn't require me to explain gender or sexuality. Which is precisely why bad actors hate it.
