They made it! And I made them! :D I take these to bookish events to showcase InkFoundry, and I love handing them out, so if you see me in the wild, ask me for one!
@thisisguan.bsky.social... I have not forgotten! They are lurking, waiting for me to figure out how I'm gonna ship them 🤣

Another thing Erin does, which brings me joy every time I see them, is physical directories, little link books to stories, with story info, one line teasers, and QR code links. They're little books, theyre so neat! (I show them to people like HI DO YOU LIKE TO SEE COOL THINGS)

Last day of #MileHiCon!
I have a panel at 1pm on Invisible Disabilities & Writing.
In the meantime I'll be around, checking out other panels, & painting wherever there's a flat surface;) I love having a little travel watercolor kit.
The art show is open to 1030 if you want to see my stuff!!

My Art Show display is a little busy but it's all up there at least. This is my first time putting myself out there as an artist as well as an author so I guess we'll see how it goes!

I would sue if I found out my therapist was using AI during therapy. A total privacy nightmare.
"Suddenly, I was watching him use ChatGPT,” says Declan, 31, who lives in Los Angeles. “He was taking what I was saying and putting it into ChatGPT, and then summarizing or cherry-picking answers.”

Therapists are secretly using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered.
Some therapists are using AI during therapy sessions. They’re risking their clients’ trust and privacy in the process.

We're in Victoria, BC today and went to the Bug Zoo, so of course I thought of @seananmcguire.bsky.social . This mantis' name is Caitlyn. It's a Hierodula membranacea or a giant Asian mantis. There were a couple others but this one posed the nicest.

I am very tired but a lot of work is about to pay off. Last summer I dug out every last bit of gravel out of the borders of my yard. This year I dug, laid, & arranged a jigsaw puzzle of a flagstone patio.
As soon as I have 2 days without rain, I put in the polymeric sand & it'll be done.

I'm still a very early career writer, as all things go. My application acceptance to panel at WorldCon did feel like an honor and an accomplishment.
But now all this AI "vetting" has utterly tainted my joy. I'm left wondering if I really earned it at all :/
