Two novel rejections in two days. Feeling disheartened. There are so many books I want to send out into the world.

“You gotta learn AI or get left behind!” is a bit galling given that the entire purpose of AI seems to be to steal our work and fuck our brains and shit up the planet, which is to say, its GOAL is to leave us all behind. That, in order to make its owners rich.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

Every successful invention solves a common problem: washing clothes, illumination, ease of travel. The problem A I is trying to solve is *us* - WE are the problem to tech oligarchs and corporate elite. It's all for them. They just can't say that part. They're trying to sell us our own redundancy.

Kathryn Tennison's debut, Moulting, is a fantastic ride into madness and the supernatural! In this episode, we discuss the novel, how she decided to write horror, how Pet Sematary terrified her as a child, writing creepy scenes, and our love of dogs.

Kathryn Tennison @acaffeinatedkat.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Here it is - the full cover of Molting!!! Please judge this book by its cover, because the artwork is just as creepy, mysterious, and haunting as the novel, which will be available on December 10. 🪶 #horror #horrornovel #debutnovel #horrorwriting

Translation: we saw the money we were losing with everyone boycotting and our shareholders lost their shit so now we’re backpedaling as fast as we can. That said, we will continue to make similar terrible decisions going forward as long as it doesn’t affect our bottom line. See ya real soon!

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable. AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text. Across all mediums, fuck AI.

I'm so serious, if you stop using your creativity, imagination and thinking abilities you will lose them. Millions of people willingly giving up their intellects, the very thing that makes them human, is a nightmare straight out of our darkest science-fictions.
