Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Thinking it would be nice to run off to the rainforest for a few weeks where there is no TV, radio, or internet. 🪶

Honestly one of the best reasons I can give you to plant native plants right now is that everything fucking sucks & a lot of it feels (or is) totally out of our control (depending on who you are). One thing most people can do is plant a plant and then look at bees happily sipping on it.

This is Trooper. He was tied to a fence during a Florida hurricane and has since inspired "Trooper's Law," which protects pets during natural disasters. He now has a loving family of his own and a legacy of helping to prevent other dogs from facing the same abuse he experienced. 14/10

Happy Pride Month everyone!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 #Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I’ve been writing books with gay/queer characters for more than 20 years.

My 1st, The Lodger, written after seeing a negative newspaper headline about gay adoption. My latest, Saltburn, a series of crazy queer love stories.

Incredible, Tim!
It happened again, Mike. Saw your photo of this good boy and had to paint him. It’s called ‘I’m only happy when it rains’.

This is the best creative advice anyone can give: Put the project down, walk away, let your brain cool off and focus on a different shiny thing for a little while.

Then go back and do a close look so you can find the flaws.
Alright, [redacted] is drafted. Now, to sit on it a bit, before a final polish.
