pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

This by Pratchett in 1999 isn't about AI bros but might as well be

I just finished this one and can only recommend it! I hadn't read any of the Order of the Strawberry Circle stories before, and I didn't have to. Had me engaged all the way to the end! Went through it in one sitting 😁

Made a timelapse of my book cover for Rotten Roots - Sketch to finished cover. Big Thank You to my husband who made some custom music for the video. He's calling it Fi's Theme. youtu.be/3ohz2zQSXOk?...

Special thanks to @bookspotlight.bsky.social for being so helpful.

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’. I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY. Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Of the books named on this reading list, Brit Bennet, Isabel Allende, Andy Weir, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Min Jin Lee, Rumaan Alam, Rebecca Makkai, Maggie O'Farrell, Percival Everett, and Delia Owens' titles are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!! See Alt Text for more detail. Image by @tbretc.bsky.social

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Just a morning message to my fellow creatives. Make what makes you happy. Even if no one pays attention at first. It exists. Someone who needs it, will find it. And they will love it, like you do. Just keep creating.

This is high art
