If Gene Roddenberry was still alive and running Star Trek, I guarantee we'd be getting thinly veiled allegories about anti-vaccine bullshit or xenophobia. It would not be subtle. It would hit reasonably hard. People would complain endlessly that Star Trek had gotten too progressive.

Hi, my game just released. It's about the life of a single mother, as seen through the eyes of her child. If you like small passion projects, it would mean a lot to me for you to check it out, share it and review it. #indiegames #solodev #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3129110/...

Shoutout to queer people who use tons of different labels to describe their experiences Shoutout to queer people who use no labels outside of queer/lgbt because none of them fit right Having labels or not does not make your queer journey any less valid!!! 💕💖❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎

Happy Pride month! I'm so glad Lessons in Magic and Disaster is the GAYEST book I've ever written. It's about a trans witch who teaches her lesbian mom to do magic. It's about the struggle for queer liberation from the 1990s to today. It's about an 18th century transmasc icon and Georgian lesbians.

Reminder that I’m happy to help you move your Substack newsletter to a self-hosted Ghost newsletter that you fully own and control (and that scales more cheaply than Substack if you’re monetized.)

I was just reading an old reddit thread on r/writing asking about whether or not it's a good idea to use ChatGPT for writing outlines or plotting out the story. If you need to use AI to do basic things like structure your story, don't write. Do something you actually like to do.
