I have joined the ranks of those with PFPs by the fantastic @dsoart.com and so can you!!

I just want to reiterate that you absolutely may use any adopts you purchase from me in your own self-funded indie projects. You don't need a commercial license for this! All I ask is credit for the design if it's used at all. Toss them into your webcomics, videogames, tabletop games, etc. ✌️

I'm not even a fan but, boy, that opens a bad precedent, what with Hollywood scrambling to adapt as much digital horror media as they can get their hands on.

So you can start applying to join the army at 15 years and 7 months but you can't buy energy drinks or use social media. The UK is such a weird fucking place.

Increasingly, Serkis makes me feel like he’s making this movie for the toxic bros. Pro-AI, all-white cast, ignoring Tolkien’s real words for the vibes-based mythologizing of him; all shit toxic bros love. He also made the Animal Farm movie that completely missed the books anti-authoritarian point.

holy shit if you havent played crow country yet this is the best time to do so

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

[glances outside] ... [sees everything JKR has done in the last few days] [sighs] All billionaires are reprehensible, but she's a special level of vile, that woman. One woman's neuroticisms, prejudices and insecurities should not be the end-all/be-all to civil rights legislation in the UK.

Hot take: if you don’t want to see the Andy Serkis Lord of the Rings movie because of Serkis’ rancid vibes; the animated LOTR: War of the Rohhirrim movie that nobody saw was actually good and textually about how women’s contributions to history are often erased to venerate men.

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

I only noticed when posting this that Dorian Dawes, who inspired it, has deactivated.

Here's what I'd imagine such a thing would look like (both poems and artwork are mine)

That's basically the whole spirit of zines.

I feel for this to be even more accurate, the waiter would have to steal the pizza from the restaurant down the street, whilst knocking into fire hydrants and turning the taps on at every household it passed on the way.

"I’m not faulting you for not being able to tell the difference between an AI story and a story by a human being. That isn’t the accusation I’m levying at you all today. No, I am accusing you of having lost the ability to discern good writing from bad."

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that

Really crazy to learn that JK Rowling once worked at Amnesty International as a bilingual researcher but she was fired because she was too busy writing books during work hours instead of documenting war crimes in French speaking Africa.

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Congratulations J.K. Rowling, you've achieved an Israel-worthy milestone; silencing a perfectly valid criticism, because you can't stand it when someone rightfully calls you out for being a shitty human.

2026 book reading challenge 12 of 25! Finished this 600-page monster! As advertised, really compelling world-building. A bit unsure in the beginning, but once you get a sense for how the story works, I was very invested. Recommended! Oh, and you can see Oliver was clearly invested as well.

it probably would weaken some of the terf shit in england but she's already created a million disciples who will carry out her wishes long after her death

if jk rowling died tomorrow idk if i'd even be that happy because she's already done so much damage. her legacy would remain

Hmm... - The Man in Grey: Canonically lacklustre at marketing - Jenny Over-There: Current WIP is partially a sort of meta joke about how the series she's part of is difficult to market - Dynamite Thor: *wears dynamite* ... I guess I hand it to the oft-mentioned Esoteric Order of Advertising.

Check out what I've been working so hard on this month!!!

Sam Neill wrote this. ♥️

dorian dawes lays it all out here in this brutal but correct essay. the problem is that AI can produce competent writing rather than good writing, but the bigger problem is that no one in charge seems to be able to tell the difference. or, worse, no one cares that there's a difference
