The Wiltunscir Raven. I saw some archeological news 2 weeks ago about a ring piece and a golden raven head found by detectorists in Wiltshire. It looked so cool so I decided to make a character around it. (I’m open for this to be a #dtiyschallenge.) #magpiesketches #dtiys #characterdesign

The witch walks ways of hawthorn. The witch walks ways of hemlock. She has no fear of the maples in the hedge despite the claims of folklore. Her footsteps are acts of ritual agency and intent. Her routes always taking her into a deeper relationship with the land. #£milyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

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. 📚💙

I’m convinced that the worst thing we do to children is convince them that curiosity is bad, and asking questions is rude or embarrassing. That’s the precise moment when learning gives way to “I don’t need to know anything else”, and that makes us infinitely susceptible to abuses of power.

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

I pity modern day man-eating animals. Between the synthetic clothes, cologne, shampoo, meds and microplastics, we really make for a lousy meal. On the upside, us getting fatter and fatter might make us super tasty. We are basically junk food.

Ngl, I kind of get the confusion. The core idea of The Senate is, “Land kind of should vote,” and land ownership was a prerequisite for enfranchisement near the Founding. What’s missed is a few key moments of, “No, land should not vote, people should.”

NEW: More than a dozen high-ranking executive branch officials and congressional aides made well-timed trades since Trump took office, most of them selling stock before the market plunged amid fears that Trump’s tariffs would set off a global trade war.

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

The Venn diagram of people who insist fiction generated by AI will always have “tells” and people who think it’s righteous to dox pen-name authors just because they might be peddling AI fiction is, meseems, a bit of a circle.

They aren't just dropping the agreements -- they are redacting the reports that showed systemic racism and violence. This is like rewriting a history of lynching, which is the whole point of course.

Do we need to couch this in a "they said"? She literally said that habeas corpus, a legal procedure created to mitigate against unlawful imprisonment, was in fact the right of a president to deport people. You can just say she was wrong. It's OK.

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer laziness. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

submitted 1 day ago • 86 comments

Yup. I continue to say that AI is for those who fetishize THE IDEA and dismiss THE WORK. It's for those people who come up to writers and say, "I got a great idea for a book, I'll give it to you, you write it, and we'll split the profits 50/50," as if the idea is the hardest and most important part.

"But flashing through her mind were the ways that someone’s 'no' answer on citizenship could find its way to immigration authorities, endangering those who might be undocumented. Simply asking about citizenship, she thought, could dissuade some people from seeking needed medical care."

If you love your neighbor and accept strangers as your god demands you do, how can immigration destroy social solidarity? The only way you destroy that is if you tolerate hate and nurture grievances between groups.
