Man asks ChatGPT "Who is [his own name]". It gives some correct info (like his hometown) but adds that he murdered two of his kids.

There's a wave of impersonator accounts claiming to be various authors on here. Check they are legit. The replies are often an instant giveaway. For instance, multiple identical requests to start a conversation via direct message are a scam artist. Verify anyone claiming to represent an author too.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Read this brilliant, horrifying and haunting book in the late 90s. I've never felt strong enough to re-read it, but it still has a place on my shelves. Octavia E Butler was an absolute genius, and pretty much everything she wrote is amazing.
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Looking for a new-to-me bag. Apparently, the 1980s and 1990s are considered vintage now.

Apologies to all for disappearing a few years ago. I kept thinking I'd get back to Real Life any minute, but health and family issues just multiplied. Things are beginning to ease up at last, so I hope to be here at least occasionally. (All fingers and toes crossed; touch wood.)
