The catharsis in this "disability rage" story feels all the more relevant given the governmental attacks on disabled people (from gutting healthcare via the budget, to flouting the ADA via the DOE, to messing with vaccines via the CDC.... it's everywhere) bsky.app/profile/kier...

Did you know that the guy who invented the ferris wheel never got to meet the guy who invented the merry-go-round? They moved in different circles.

@julieleblancwrites.bsky.social Oh hi good morning!

frier/oven: Home fries, not home spies washer/dryer: We help you clean your dirty laundry, not share it Fridge/freezer: It keeps food cold, thassit.

My story “Paths, Littlings, and Holy Things” is out today! It's a story of family & fortitude. Above all, it's one of love. I'm not one to write about love (that's a lie, I always write about love), but exploring love amidst grief & pain was a journey. I hope this story brings you on a journey too✨

New fiction! "Paths, Littlings, and Holy Things" by Somto Ihezue @somtoihezue.bsky.social www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1...

I’m sorry, this has such “now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I’m roughly the size of a barge” energy. Amazing.

Good morning to those USA military personnel who are looking to file as a conscientious objector. You don't have to obey unlawful orders, and in fact you must not. There's a website for you. I hear the phone line is pretty tied up right now, because you are not alone.

Absolutely. Its just like the people claiming that you can spot AI writing by it using em-dashes or whatever, it has that tendency because many professional writers have that tendency. The machine designed for regurgitating patterns from its input data and that is a pattern.

I keep seeing reports of non-AI users being told that an AI detector has dubbed their work AI generated, and it makes me insane because: 1) AI detection tools *are themselves AI* and thus entirely bullshit; and 2) if an AI was trained on your works, of COURSE it’ll flag you as sounding “like” AI!

OMG THE SKELETON CHAPERONE BWAHAHAHAHA

LOL WTF

Great thread especially with Ursula's captioning

This is my amazing friend @annaclark.bsky.social's story. I remember doing a read through for her and falling in love with it when she wrote it and I am UNBELIEVABLY PUMPED to see it in such a good home. Go read folks #sff #sciencefiction #shortstory

ICYMI, latest Diabolical Plots fiction is "Irina, Unafraid". This one feels very true to me in my experience with anxiety and, altho I have never jumped through the moon, I still felt like some of the things I am proud of accomplishing felt familiar to me here with pushing against that nagging voice

My pull-ups are getting better

I had a joke about the Labyrinth but it was too full of bullshit

theyre doing it again tonight, maybe they always do it before full dark for all I know? I've never noticed. I zoomed way in, because it's hard to see the lights in the sunlight otherwise, but the whole lawn is full of this
