We do reading and writing here. Some of the writing is official, like my book SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA, DISABILITY, AND THE FILMIC STARE (my tragic backstory is as an academic) but lots of it is just fun, which you'll know if you follow me on Tumblr or Ao3!

So, since we have Yet More Discourse going on, I wanna toss out a thing because I keep seeing it come up.

Writing is not always fun, and that’s actually pretty normal.
Same. Frankly, I can’t imagine any situation where using an LLM to generate text would not make writing the book take ten times as long.
In case it doesn't go without saying: I have not used gen AI to create text in any of my books. I have not used Grammarly etc to "clean up" the text. I have not used it to research any of my books, except where it might be built into search engines under the hood (I do not use labelled AI results).

Ok, I was not expecting the mockup of this pair of stays to be THIS CUTE or to work this well, because it's a cotton bedsheet and zip tie bones. I was just trying to figure out the pattern and technique, but I got it on, laced it up, and was DELIGHTED

Albertans are you tired of your useless UPC MLA? Well, check the recall website, get involved, kick ass.

Remember: some of them only won their seats by handfuls of votes.

They wanted the recall ability so much (b/c of the evil socialists). Well, use it against them. 🤘

Do whatever you want with your career, but also bitch please. If you can't organize a damn book, you shouldn't be writing one.

I am slowly morphing into the me I wanted to be in my teens and 20s but didn't have the knowledge to get there.

Yes, this is a post about me buying my first corset pattern. 30s are awesome, cannot recommend enough.

Reader question: Why does RAVEN CALLS say book 8? Most places it's listed as book 7?

Author answer: Because when I got the rights back, I decided to upgrade both BANSHEE CRIES, a novella, to book 2, and NO DOMINION, a collection featuring a short novel with Gary as the lead, to book 9! And...

OH NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!!! I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD WHEN I LEARNED THAT HAD I HAD RA IN EUROPE BETWEEN 1500 AND 1920, I WOULD HAVE BEEN USING HUMAN FAT AS AN ANALGESIC.
