You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

I told myself I'd do some proof reading this morning but instead I'm titting around with stuff that can 100% wait but feels productive. Probably because I'm on less than half my usual dose of adhd meds.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

I have a lot of things to do today and I started my day by throwing hot coffee down my leg. This bodes well /s

It's almost as if the Ai industry must at the very least offer a revenue stream to the people whose work it is reselling. (Imagine the current state of the discourse if they had led with that instead of "we won't pay for anything"...)

You are not too old to follow your dreams. You are, however, too old to brush off a crick in the neck from sleeping awkwardly. Get some good pillows.

One of my favourite lines from my current WIP: Lord Bigot-britches paced up and down in front of us, muttering under his breath and waving the knife about. Not a good sign for his mental stability, or for the chances of my internal organs remaining internal.

Wanna confuse the JK Rowling 'we can always tell' crowd? It's not especially hard but you can discombobulate them further - and put money into the pockets of a community she's trying to drown with her billions - by buying a badge from Trans Solidarity Alliance! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/maybe-im-t...

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.

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.

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.

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.
