In a made Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire mood lately and I've not even watched any of the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms series yet. This was a fun bit of fan art of the Mother of Dragons herself!

So I've done something scary, I've uploaded a video to Youtube! This is the first episode of my vlog renovating my house. I hope to highlight in this just how hard it is to do this kind of work when dealing with chronic illness

One thing you can do today is buy a friend's book. Who cares if you even read it. Just buy to support art. Fascists hate poetry and short stories and books about joy and memoirs about compassion etc.

Let's go.

Hey guys, just so you know there is an anti-Al writing tool, similar to MS Words or more like Google docs. It has all the basic functions for formatting, they don't scrape your writings, and pledged never to integrate Al

Oh and it's completely free

I don't care how long we have been friends. If you start pushing Gen AI slop, you aren't my friend any more.

I get some people are uneducated but if youre making a business plan around something that is no longer an excuse.

Pick up a pen or get in the bin like the talentless hack you are.
