Just writer problems: Wanting a character to use a slur to demonstrate they're an unrepentant piece of shit, but not wanting it to be a real world slur because ew.

Odie is being a gremlin because I'm trying to do things at my desk and thus he cannot access the only human in the house. Obviously this is an atrocipupper of the highest order.

no way people are asking for a dislike button on ao3 bestie that’s the back button your browser

This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it. Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

One of the fun things about being a fountain pen hobbyist is that infrequently have (blunt) needles and syringes lying around on my desk, making it look like I have a _very_ different kind of problem.

The task of an author in 2025 is to write something so fucked up that an AI could never come up with it.

I informed Odie that his treat ball was empty and he stared into the middle distance like he was having 'Nam flashbacks.

be a shame if the TRAs were to bombard this thing with puerile gibberish in an attempt to derail it.

in honour of Tumblr's "it's not stupid if it works" mantra, I just tidied up the living room after days of procrastination by deciding to see how many items I could either put in the bin or back in their place while only using kitchen tongs (turns out: nearly all of them, gloriously)

Me, making a cup of tea just now: - weighs out the leaves - puts leaves in strainer - boils kettle - pours water into strainer ... Why is the counter wet?

I love it when clients get personally affronted when you ask them to pay their late invoices. "I was taken aback by your tone." I was taken aback by my empty fucking fridge. Pay me.

i dare you to fuckin pluck something vulnerable and small from your heart and draw or film or move about it. AND show it to people. i dare you to make something. i dare you i dare you i triple dog fucking dare you to Cook and not simply Eat

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

Felt cute, might delete later.

Transphobes popping up giving trans women shit for a topless protest as if that isn't an incredibly frequent form of feminist protest really does show they have absolutely no proximity to genuine feminism, protest movements, or, indeed much of anything outside of their open bigotry

If you want to support a disabled, nonbinary, bisexual writer this #IDAHOBIT, my latest book is available at itch. It's about lesbian robots falling in love, discovering sex and escaping oppression to find their cottagecore happy ever after together. racheltonkshill.itch.io/how-to-say-i...

I've spent most of #IDAHOBIT being a literal hobbit. Staying in my nice cool home, eating and drinking and napping.

Taking it as a thumbs up from the universe that I happened to finish this project, started on 17 April as fuck you to the Supreme Court and FWS, on #IDAHOBIT

Woah here she comes Watch out boy, she’ll chafe your cock Woah here she comes She’s a cockchafer

What do we do when the people in power are hell bent on destroying everything? What can we do?

In the news: In which we learn that our leaders find it easier to believe "AI is the future" than to believe that actual, living human beings who make art for a living have rights and deserve respect. Our consent doesn't matter to them. Only appeasing the tech bros matters.

Excellent thread. Glasgow's example here is instructive. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021...

I started this book intending to have my grumpy dwarf fight a dragon but it's become increasingly clear the dragon isn't the bad guy: capitalism, bigotry and gross entitlement is. Pretty sure that's not a reflection of the state of the world or anything 🫤

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

The world continues to go to shit, but I have a gender non-conforming dwarf and her agender elf lover to write about, so I can't lie down on the floor and scream. It cuts into writing time.
