Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

OK, ok, I need to stop being coy and self-effacing. I am DELIGHTED that my work in making lesbian history accessible for authors of historical fiction is being recognized in books that used my work. My ultimate goal is to never again hear an author of a sapphic historical say "There's no sources."
Just finished listening to the audiobook of Ladies in Hating by Alexandra Vasti and had a startling and pleasant surprise in the acknowledgements. IYKYK.

This year decided to test me in every way. I have been sleep deprived, anxious, had my first ever panic attack, experienced both limerence & actual love (w/ 2 separate people), got my heart broken, possibly failed an exam for the first time ever, & lost my twitter account of 7 years to a stupid scam

Falling for someone who doesn’t live in your country is stupid and foolish and torturous because why does my heart feel displaced, why am I suddenly so terrified about the wellbeing of someone I can’t physically protect.

The most accurate scene in Grey’s Anatomy is when Cristina is sat on the bathroom floor crying over a guy when she should be studying for her boards. Women in medicine core.

My twitter account was recently hacked, and I lost contact with thousands of my mutuals. If you can help find some of them here, I would truly appreciate it!!

It’s wild to see this post and think back to everything that has happened in the past 5 months. I am not the same girl I was when I posted this lol.
When you go to a coffeeshop, order coffee, and prepare to write, then realise your device needs charging and there’s no outlet sockets to put your charger in

Logging onto this site has made me incredibly nostalgic. So much has happened in the past year that I haven’t been able to focus on writing and reading and interacting with my book community mutuals. I’ve missed it all so much.

I’ve decided to try and suspend my twitter account. If everyone who follows me on twitter can report the account, I would really appreciate it.
Seeing as I have lost my twitter account, I am considering simply leaving twitter for good and rebuilding my audience on here and on instagram. Musks’s “X” has become a cesspool full of spam, bots, and scammers. It is no longer a safe place to be.
