I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production. If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

anyway, it’s less than a month til the next chapter in Magica Riot’s story launches. I put a lot of work and heart into Full Bloom, and its length reflects all the quieter character work I put in between the bonkers action set pieces. I really hope it’ll hit y’all the way it hit me when writing.

@beedokfern.bsky.social has been an absolute delight to work with whenever I've commissioned her!!!

I'm glad "the year of Dramione" is a thing because it clearly illustrates how the wizard kidlit franchise is being kept culturally relevant by cishet women who can't stop cranking it to plausibly deniable Nazi porn they hallucinated in their favorite children's media.

it's actually really cool that the Bluesky dev team has no separation between their personal & professional presences and no active official comms channel because they'll announce major changes on personal accounts & if you disagree with them they'll block you and you'll never hear about more! whee!

hot take: I think we should go back to assuming peoples pronouns. if we get it wrong, we should be corrected, say "thank you for correcting me", and not get it wrong again.

Absolute L take, genuinely one of the worst I’ve read in recent memory about the issues with Spotify www.smh.com.au/culture/musi...

Listening to artists and creatives will be so important for Bluesky and the AT Protocol. One suggestion to start: - Implement Nightshade (or similar gen-ai poisoning processes) on all images uploaded, protecting artists from illegal ai training on their work.

Bit late to the 10 x to get to know me trend... 10 ALBUMS TO GET TO KNOW ME

real curious to see how this book hits people. I have been told via one of the folks who has been reading it ahead of time that it has "the sauce," and I hope a lot of you will agree.

I just got my first blood test back since switching to injections and holy fuck for the first time in 3+ years on oestrogen I actually have the levels I want (I’m also starting to notice some feminising effects that have eluded me thus far) I’m so happy I could cry 😭😭😭

Lest I sound like a voice in the wilderness about AI, I'm not the only one. This post came up over on Mastodon.

She drinks a whisky drink, she drinks a vodka drink, she drinks a lager drink, she drinks a cider drink

This is very concerning because, normally, a student visa from a university should be waterproof. It's normal to arrive months before your term begins. I'll explain in some detail why this is very bad but first help her out if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-autum...

Wolffie just got royally screwed over while trying to cross the Canadian border because of the tightening of immigration regulations. Now, more than ever, if you can help afford new housing and another way out of the US, please do! www.gofundme.com/f/help-autum...

Damn Bluesky staff really don't like trans women interacting with them for some reason

Check out this amazing bundle that contains my cybernoir novel Keeping The Peace!

For folks who want to dive into the dangerous side of things, here's quite the deal. You'll also be helping out a lot of authors at the same time. Oh and some of what's in here is BRAND NEW.

well apparently I still write my best music when it is dark outside, idk what that means with all this

You know what? I’m just gonna say it. Trans writers kick ass.

Oh, to be in the midst of butchfemme vampires 🦇💕 #art #wlw #ocsky #lesbianart

Just a reminder that I have a discord server! Some of my drawings from this month are available there FOR FREE as long as you join! I also just chat and share art there often ♥️

I’m starting to suspect that I might be becoming a morning person and I’m kinda terrified

This may be true in North America but to source EV here (both through the system and diy), to my best knowledge, is around A$60-100/vial, not including shipping (which can be famously expensive here). I appreciate the sentiment, but some caveats about where this advice is applicable would be nice.

Yeah this is fucking insane

#LegendofKorra I miss my wife

My good friend Wolffie is packing for Canada *as we speak* and could still use all the help we can give. If you have some spare to throw her way, please help her out. As we're saying on the discord "dono for donuts" to keep her going 😅

the only thing mark zuckerberg is good at is burning ridiculously large amounts of money on nothing

Exciting news, everyone! As Conjured Ink nears its first beta, we'd like to share with you our roadmap of updates for the next two quarters. These quality of life and system changes will help pave the way for what we hope to become: a home for your incredible works! Thank you!

Thank you everyone who's contributed! We're now over 50% to our monthly funding goal, which will allow us to be a pretty reliably sustainable volunteer-run organization that is still able to spend money on e.g. legal, hardware, hosting, etc, costs as we need in order to fulfill our mission!

Latest mix? What latest mix? I have no idea what you're talking about. And why 'mix' specifically? There's definitely no secret project like that in the works or anything. Not at all...

Aurora will not be visible in the northern us thank you very much 😤

Here’s another taste 💛 (Snippet is unedited)

Show off something that inspires you and the work you do. I'll go first: (iykyk)

I'm biased but this book is fucking banging

I am so, so proud and happy share this! Did you love my convo with Soph on the Galaxy Moth podcast? You're going to love entering the whirlpool of wild with us in the NeuroQueeries podcast! The first episode is out now. We talk gender, autism, queerness, and sex! Music by @demongrrl.gay

Project Mélange is live! @8bitem.bsky.social and I just put out the first episode of the NeuroQueeries podcast! Come listen to us talk about autism, gender, sex, and oh so much more. We *definitely* don't get naughty at any point in the episode, why would you think that. neuroqueeries.podbean.com

I started HRT soon after my 45th birthday, and let me tell you: even starting that late, estrogen is *magic*. Feeling so much better only weeks later was a huge relief. Two and a half years later, and I wouldn't change a thing.
