Welp I’ve just seen the argument “autistic people aren’t sophisticated enough to be sexual predators therefore Neil Gaiman is innocent” which is a fun combo of ableism and apologia

I don’t need to tell people that that’s fundamentally wrong, right?

Love getting stuff off thriftbooks but finding something I like under $5 is proving challenging. Any recc’s from my fellow readers? Specifically looking for some cool post-apocalypse or sci fi

About the author and their books: (There is a portrait of me with anime blush lines, a happy yellow sun) My name is Rebecca E. Reyes and I am an author, artist, parent, and I have a great sense of humor, especially in regards to my autism in my mid 30's. This portrait doesn't set the tone in my books, but it does reflect me when I feel cute (2 years ago). Right now I have my acne from when I was 15... All four of my books in both my book series with descriptions. --- The Sarcophagus of Lamia The Sarcophagus of Lamia Book 1 has a blonde woman in a red velvet lined escape pod, with a silver implant in her hair. The Sarcophagus of Lamia Book 2: Soul Survivor, has a red power core (a glowing orb) surrounded by filigree. The series description is: Deep space cyberpunk thriller novelettes with beautiful adaptations of famous monsters in a bleak, caste ruled setting. We follow the skeleton crew of the lab ship, Magpie, as they hit hard times and brush with corporate oligarchies' law enforcement. They take odd jobs and survive gruesome encounters, but they do it together! --- Sigils Sigils of Malice's cover has a magical blue beetle walking on a machine powered by a sparking crystal. Sigils of Blight's cover is of a lantern with a blue fire in the jungle. The series description is: Science fantasy thriller novels within a gilded theocrasy, wearing 1910's pseudo-cyberpunk glitz. "Those are words." - My Husband Thalia Clayton, an uncouth crossdressing showgirl, without magic, tries to protect her family from powers above her head. Unfortunately, everyone she loves is mixed in with conspiracies. After many reluctant partnerships and tested loyalties, it's a good thing she knows many necromancers and priests. Getting out alive may not be an option.

The Contact Us page on my website has been updated.

I'm no famous author by any means, but that does not stop bots and grifters on Twitter, so I felt the need to make a quick warning about closing my Twitter account.
Screenshot from the Contact Us page for rebeccareyeswriting.com saying: As of January 1, 2026 I deleted my Twitter/X account. I will never touch that horrid website again. If you see anyone claiming to be Rebecca Ladd or Rebecca Reyes using my work on Twitter/X, know that they are bots or grifters and should be avoided.

I’ve been doing a lot of Very Serious Reading lately for my studies and wanted a break with Fun Reading. Fiance gifted it for xmas (along with a copy of Seabiscuit) and I’m 50 pages in under an hour. Very interesting premise and mix of storylines so far!

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”

And

I hate to say it

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

Quit.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers

Orwell's vision of our terrible future was that world - the world in which books are banned or burned. Yet it is not the most terrifying world I can think of. I think instead of Huxley [...] I think of his Brave New World. His vision was the more terrible, especially now because it appears to be rapidly coming true, whereas the world of 1984 did not. What is Huxley's horrific vision? It is a world where there is no need for books to be banned, because no one can be bothered to read one. ― Marcus Sedgwick, The Monsters We Deserve

I don't have holidays in my books, but I think holidays would be great for worldbuilding.
