Just your periodic reminder that AI generated "art" is theft and any creative person, artist or writer, using it still needs to really re-evaluate their ethics and where they stand, cos yikes 💀

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.

If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

Jan Falk ( @thistlearts.bsky.social ) is planning to bring us a European, Rococo-style piece, with some Achillean and gender-nonconforming representation. Expect decorations like silk, taffeta, powdered wigs, and other fashion of the time!

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

I hate so much when readers send me AI "art" they made about my characters. This is gross. I very much prefer the real art made by real person. Skill does not matter. I see love, and nothing is more important for me as an author.
Fuck AI
When a reader loves a story so much they're inspired to make art about it, no matter their artistic skill, it's a beautiful thing. As an author, if I found out a reader made AI fan art of my characters I'd feel insulted. AI generated fan art is an abomination. Fuck off with that & keep fucking off!

I always write a happy ending for my queer characters. They are happy, they are together, they are in love. I'm fucking tired of all sad dead broken queer people at the end of the story. So fucking tired.
Happy #tuesday! Today's #writingq and #trope for discussion is: Happily ever afters!!

Do you enjoy this type of ending? Have you written it? When was it done well vs bad?

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

These are two covers that I made for my husband's MM novel in 2 parts, which was banned back home, the moment its official edition became a bestseller. I'm really very proud of those covers.
It differs from my work you usually see, but I hope you like it.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers
Software and customer service are most at risk right now and could be the canary in the coal mine.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

I'm happy to announce that those two works of mine (these are just teasers!) will appear on @hardcoverart.com #hardcover2025

This is an amazing project that will have erotic art from numerous talented artists! Take a look and keep your eye on it!
The subject is RETRO!

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

I think that if you are trying to understand the Anthropic book settlement, and you are not doing it in light of the (extremely) failed Google book settlement from 2011, you will never be able to understand what is happening.

A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.
