Shadow daddies are great and everything, but what about a handsome knight with big Golden Retriever energy, who will read your favourite books, carry you to bed when you fall asleep and swear an oath on your love because there’s nothing he wants to be more worthy of?

Me when people ask me how writing my new book is going because instead of just making it about gay dragon riders I also had to make it a multi POV epic fantasy with two romances, complex characters, deep worldbuilding and so much stuff going on I might need to make it into a trilogy:

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

Writing books is work.
Authors write books.
Authors are people who live under capitalism.
Capitalism requires people to make money to live.
Authors need money to live and they do WORK.
"Capitalism is evil so you should pirate books" isn't the "activism" you pretend it is.
