if you want to chat about something sensitive, you can use Bluesky DMs to exchange contact info, but I would recommend moving the conversation to Signal. Bluesky DMs are private, but they are not (yet) E2EE. Signal is hardened, focused, and does privacy/security best.

So, Elon Musk is apparently a Neil Stephenson fan, he made staff read "Cryptonomicon" at PayPal. But he is the kind of fan who misses the point of the book! Snowcrash is all about mental viruses and the villian is a media tycoon billionaire who tries to infect the "Net" with a mind virus.

*desperately trying to manufacture a take that'll get me cancelled voice* uh, cis guys who wear hoodies are actually boymoding equally as much as closeted transfems who wear hoodies and the correct response to both is to start relentlessly gendering them as female until they put on a sundress

The left is too toxic to each other and too nice to our enemies. Fuck purity politics And Fuck playing fair against the Right. They don't worry about lies, or harassment, or sending their mob after their enemies. We shouldn't hesitate against them.

Watching Dracula at the Richmond Ballet. The Vampire is a class war concept. The rich aristocratic Nobel feeding on the lifeblood and corrupting the people. We lost that lesson in the "sexy vamp" wave of the 90s. We need that interpretation back.

Sometimes you know a new personality is about to enter your story and you realize that they are far more important that you realized.

So good to see this moral panic wave starting to recede. The long work of undoing their damage is going to take decades.

So, I don't like the idea of using AI Images for book covers. I think it's better to pay an artist or license a photo and make your copy. But In trying to visualize your characters, as a writing aid. It can be pretty handy.
