![The cover of my book, Lonely in Happy Town. Designed by Tyler Cleroux. The font is reminiscent of Animal Crossing and there are two gaming controllers with hearts on them, on a pink backdrop. E.M. Anderson, author of The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher and The Keeper of Lonely Spirits says it’s “[A] cozy but cathartic read about love, anxiety, and rebuilding community.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fuvsruzgllbgcionosop57mz/bafkreigbvpirxxxhtzvzxnu5nzh5imklq3b22kdke7j4wcep3vbdwsakia@jpeg)

It is more important to create than submit work
to submit work than worry about being published
to publish at all than be too precious about where or when
to have work read than get awards
to be nominated at all than win—
And it is more important to make what you love than never risk failing.

AI is for losers and grifters.
Creating art is done despite the hardships. In spite of it. Because of it. For the sake of it.
"AI is just another tool!"
A tool to rob yourself of the joy and accomplishments of having made something, anything. A tool to revoke agency of your growth as a human.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

oh no do I need to join Threads, I want to know more so badly
a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

My favorite thing about Frog and Toad is that it is the story of two men deeply and obviously in love with one another, drawn as a tribute to his lifelong partner by a gay man long before their relationship was socially sanctioned.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This is such a bad take I had to block the person no matter how many smart people I like follow them lmao
This is presumes that all creative output must be availed to the public. This is stupid. You do not owe everyone a behind-the-scenes look at your development if you don’t want to.
