I hate Josh Hawley so much, but the people in the QTs celebrating Missourians suffering? You can eat shit. (But also fuck Hawley for supporting a coup, voting to cut FEMA funding, and propping up this tyrannical regime!)

My favorite place on the internet is the @smokelong.bsky.social Fitness group. What do you mean I get to interact with so many lovely people?

I waited 14 months for a publisher to issue a contract with a "no AI" clause (it had to be all lawyered, whatever). I'd do it again. I'm not agreeing to AI covers, audio, translations, blurb, anything. We stand together or we fall apart.

This is disturbing… a single ChatGPT query uses 10x more energy than using a search engine. One 100-word email drafted by ChatGPT-4 uses about a water bottle’s worth of H2O, and enough electricity to power 14 LED lightbulbs for an hour.

Sometimes I remember I went to high school next to a nuclear waste dump, and I mean next to as in the gym teachers made us run up and down the sarcophagus stairs.

Loved finding out that all of my stories on AO3 were scraped to feed AI ❤️ To the person (and people) who stole my writing and other’s: I hope you choke.

Highly recommend getting a tiny treat each time a rejection appears in the inbox. I’ve Pavloved myself and it’s great.

#CurrentlyReading East of Eden by John Steinbeck Someone left this on my building’s bookshelf (basically a little free library). The spine is cracked, the cover battered, the pages are stained and tear with every turn. I couldn’t resist grabbing it. #BookSky 📚💙

Discussions on artists being replaced by "AI" often miss the most important aspect of art itself: Art is a form of communication. The writer shares a vision across time and space. As does the painter, musician, and poet. Art is a conscious and curious mind reaching out. It is not merely a product.
