"We all float down here."

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

Happy #BlackFaeDay I'm neck deep in writing my debut novel. In the future, I hope to put more Black fae into the world!

Reminder: the GOP doesn’t define porn in this bill. To them, mentioning gay or trans people is “pornographic.” So the mere mention of gender identity or sexual orientation could be against the law.

SINNERS SPOILER But I don't think all the people mad at Grace for protecting her baby realize that if she didn't do what she did the rest of the movie would have been waiting for the vampires to leave at sunrise just for the klan to come lynch everyone anyways.

They are banning books, threatening (?) a tax on films made outside the US. They know art matters. Why is president fool using AI to make images of himself as Pope, as Luke Skywalker? They go after the artists and writers. anyone "shitting" on art because we're in a crisis doesn't get the crisis.

The model Alton Mason wore a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure-inspired outfit at Met Gala 2025. "I have a favorite anime, it's called JoJo. And this is an ode to it. Giorno Giovanna has a cut-out, so I decided to include that." jojo-news.com/2025/05/06/m...

Note: I know times are hard, re: finances. So if you would like a e-copy/pdf/e-pub of Flame of the Spirit... please let me know.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

The mayor of Clarksdale, Mississippi, told TMZ that Warner Bros. is bringing a special screening of “Sinners” to the small town

Went to Universal Fan Fest & adults in Harry Potter cosplay packed an elevator. They made room but I said “No, I don’t feel safe around people in HP outfits.” One upset said “EXCUSE ME?” as the doors closed. Wear HP merch if you want, but don’t act surprised when trans ppl don’t feel safe near you.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

thank you for clarifying that you are well aware of her transphobia and still continuing with the show

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

LRT with every of these “NFTs deleted; now worthless” stories coming out I need you to remember that we were told it’s the future, it’s inevitable, its the future of money and your house will be registered on it and your car will be registered on it and if you don’t get it NOW you’ll be left behind.

Yeah I'm definitely going to see Sinners in theaters again, maybe a 3rd time too

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Happy Indie Bookstore Day! Switched to Libro.fm from Audible about a month ago. Works the same and our purchases support our local indie bookstore. Buy books, buy audiobooks, buy indie books!

By the way this isn't an obscure act; it was the one used to justify the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, the one never overturned by the Supreme Court or US District Court, even when Fred Korematsu's case was appealed in the 1980s.

We need to publicize major AI failures so we can completely eliminate it from society. 👍

he’s right and he’s right to say it

There is no better vibe than going to a diner after the ren faire and seeing half the patrons in garb

Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it - Sounds confident even when factually wrong - Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf - Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases - Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

I'm a professor at SVA, and yes, we need a union.

Get your MMR vaccine. If you’re not sure if you need it, talk to your doctor. There’s a titre test they can do. Don’t forget that a well fitted respirator like an N95 can also provide excellent protection. Wear it for those who can’t be vaccinated (babies, immunocompromised etc).

Thread. This applies for artists and fiction writers, too We ask to be paid BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WILL STARVE. If freed from the fetters of capitalism, many of us WOULD offer our work for free

Kiss Your Demons, my new webcomic! Pages are up on Patreon to view, uncensored, as they're made, and 5 pages in advance before publicly posted! ✧✦✧ ✨ patreon.com/EvernightArcana ✨ #webcomic #comic #demons #monsters #fantasy #art (Page 1)

The prelude to this story frames it as a challenge: listen to the story for one hour, and you can take as much gold from a hoard as you like. But take any of the gold, and you'll never hear the ending. Someone left two comments today: on Chapter 1, and then only three hours later, on Chapter 33.

I think for this month's freebie, I'm gonna go back to where it all started and do page dividers, because the existing ones need more buddies 😌 ko-fi.com/alderdoodle/...

If any MAGA fuck walks up to you crying about how they didn't vote for this, just remind them of one of the nights during the RNC:

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

“Beginning May 5, the department will begin involuntary collection through — including tax refunds, federal salaries and other benefits — from people with past-due debts to the government. After a 30-day notice, the department will also begin garnishing wages for borrowers in default.”
