Opened up my Draft2Digital newsletter today, was scrolling through kinda nodding along, and then!!!! [pointing aggressively at #10] THAT'S ME!!!!

If you're thinking about using AI for a graphic, lemme stop you right there. I don't care what it is: it would be better hand drawn by a child on crumpled up notebook paper and scanned into your pc than to use AI.

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

The 50% off sale on HIS SECRET ILLUMINATIONS and HIS SACRED INCANTATIONS to celebrate the release of HER SUBTLE INVESTIGATIONS is still ongoing! Escape into hundreds of thousands of words of a kinder, hornier world! (And then fight like hell to make this one better!) scarlettgaleauthor.com/shop

I think at times like this we need to come together and remind each other what’s really important: the new baby fanaloka at the Nashville zoo

a neglected/"replaced" skillset withers rapidly because your brain doesn't think you need it anymore! they made a turns-you-stupid machine and it doesn't even make good stuff! it's like if the monkey's paw didn't even grant you a wish it just punched you in head until you got worse at everything

the thing about AI is even if it were accurate and good at what it's claimed to be doing, we, like all organisms, are extremely lazy! the goal of every organism is to expend as little energy as possible in the propagation of itself. to that end, anything that we can offload, we get REALLY bad at!

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Wearily pointing at the sign once again that says you gotta defend porn because these fuckheads see every queer person as inherently pornographic and they always have and they always will. You have to defend it even if you don't personally engage with it because otherwise this happens. ⬇️

Hello good morning I am BUSY and TIRED and I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT TOMORROW and I am RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT!!! It's a polyamorous triad where they're all the grumpy one, they're all the sunshine one, and they're all soft for each other! books2read.com/HerSubtleInv...

FIVE DAYS TO GO UNTIL HER SUBTLE INVESTIGATIONS COMES OUT!!! Are you ready?! The Knife certainly isn't - she's having a lot of tender squishy feelings that she really wishes she wasn't while in the middle of an investigation, but we can't always get what we want! books2read.com/HerSubtleInv...

It’s not the particular focus of this piece (which is great, go read it!), but the disappearance of media due to a) unavailability of physical media after corporate greed takes shows/movies offline b) censorship is and will continue to be a growing problem. The censorship especially!

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

"you know each hot dog you eat takes off 15 minutes of your life" I guarantee the constant stress of worrying about the "healthiness" of every thing you eat has a much worse cumulative effect on your health than just eating things that you like and make you feel good

You know how sometimes you start telling a story of a thing that happened to you that you think other people will find funny, and then they end up staring at you like you grew a second head? Yeah. That's the Knife's whole life. See it for yourself on August 16th!!! books2read.com/HerSubtleInv...

If you don't have access to a hard drive, back your work up to USB sticks if you have to, until you can get one. Cloud storage on third-party servers cannot and should not be trusted at this point. Back up your files.

There's a lot of recs floating around for alternatives to google drive, etc, and that's great. But also, and I cannot stress this enough: anything you care about, you need to back up to a storage medium that you own. Not a different cloud. A hard drive that you physically own.

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea. Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

The Knife is being professional. She's here to investigate a series of kidnappings. She's not going to flirt with the woman ALSO investigating that series of kidnappings. She's going to be cool about this, and not get distractedly horny. (The Knife is a liar.) books2read.com/HerSubtleInv...

Oh, good news! HER SUBTLE INVESTIGATIONS is now available in paperback through Bookshop Dot Org! That means it's percolating its way through the physical book pre-order system, and you should be able to have a local bookstore order it for you as well! bookshop.org/p/books/her-...

*TAPS THE SIGN* also, below is a thread of action you can take, from petitions, to emails to phone numbers (with some scripts you can copy/adapt) as well as ways to support affected creators. do as many as you can. try to do them all. 🧵 1/12

Getting into a knife fight counts as a meet-cute, right? I mean, no one ACTUALLY got stabbed, and it led to a team-up, and Kia definitely wasn't distracted by how good everyone else smelled... Ebooks! books2read.com/HerSubtleInv... Signed paperbacks! scarlettgaleauthor.com/shop/p/her-s...

John Oliver doesn’t get enough credit for having a show with a strong viewpoint who will oftentimes devote 20-25 minutes to a topic, sometimes one that you can’t hear about on American television anywhere else, and manage to be pretty consistently funny while doing it. It’s a hell of a balancing act
