A relevant question! Unstoppered liquids could easily spill and interrupt the summoning circle. Wait, my bad. I thought you said "demon summoning."

I wonder if the spammers are primarily targeting new indie authors, and just have a general list of authors that they're running the machine through.

Taking notes on what form the magpies will accept tribute in. Can't believe I didn't think of the branches!

I always saw it as an anniversary thing in the past, so I'll second your definition.

@thegirlwhodreams.bsky.social Late public transport introducing you to social media platforms? Rude of it.

Me, every time I put "with" in a working title: [typing into search engine]: - with in title capitalised - oxford style with in title capitalised - oxford style with in title fiction novel - oxford style prepositions in title fiction novel (The answer is no.)

Sources say that at press time, unknown reporters were spotted rolling a golden apple in the vague direction of social media users.

Oh, I LOVE this guy. And the figure looks so intricate, too.

She's a nurse kitty, really. Showed up at the doorstep and has spent the years since trying to keep an ADHD household on a schedule!

I have a few jokes about Mass Effect, but Samara better than others.

We will not be broken (i.e., they can't make us use the app!) But I do find that here and elsewhere, the mobile site tends to be less stable than either the app and desktop site.

I'd encourage you to! Sometimes, I get caught in a loop where I'm upset that I can't be productive, and I push myself, but it doesn't get me anywhere and just drains my reserves further. And then my other cat tries to convince me to stop by getting up to mischief.

110

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

Yeah, I get that. I have a cat with a chronic health issue, and when it flares up that can make it really difficult to push through my own. Maybe you just need a break until that shot kicks in?

I have a joke about Dragon Age: Inquisition, but when I bring up the war table it tends to drag on

That one was just a good reason to log off, although it happened a couple weeks ago. Today, I'm just taking a short break from reading a book, and I have some website stuff to get through. What usually works for you, when you get stuck?

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

Mobile, although in seriousness, I tend to give the devs a lot of grace because I'm logged in with a browser rather than the app.

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

Specifically via a land war, if I recall correctly. I logged into a fan account one day and everyone was vagueposting about the same thing. The internet is very stressful.

I was having issues uploading a photo over the weekend, and I am noticing in the last couple days that sometimes photos don't load on my timeline. This sure is a webbed site.

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

I think this is just evidence that the software sucks. Although I've noticed that sometimes employees are just committed to giving customers the win in these situations, because we all gotta eat.

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

I support a body's right to pseudonymously review onion rings, but probably keeping those accounts separate would have been a better idea. 😂

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

That sounds revelatory and potentially ominous.

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 21/09/2026

The ENDING of this book, man. And the lead-up to it! A demon and an angel, over three hundred years of rebuilding a city he and his kin destroyed. The way having someone's heart inside yours changes you irrevocably...

This is my main takeaway when it comes to chatbots running LLMs. The proliferation of the tech, the belief that it can accomplish miracles? All due to deliberate design choices that hack the way we're psychologically attuned to things that seem to talk to us. #antiAI

I do enjoy ongoing negotiations with a spirit providing one's dream come true... 👀

There's nothing like autumn in the foothills. I found bear tracks as I headed down to the river, too.

On a cloudless day, a river with a rocky shore, cliffs rising from the banks pine, trees growing on the steep slopes

I have fond memories of the Doon Heritage Village in Kitchener, especially when they run events in the evenings with apple cider and bonfires (and blacksmithing demonstrations!)

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 17/09/2026

Every time I read a new Leigh Bardugo book, I want to eat it. Incidentally, the local bookstore dropped Dead Beat on my doorstep and I am having emotions.

Currently leaning heavily toward Joplin as a recommendation. The free version is the best of the bunch (using a free Dropbox account).

Medical Professional: We got the list of medications you sent us. They were spelled REALLY well. Me: Thank you? I had the labels in front of me when I wrote them down?

The monster is already inside. 6/6

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 18/08/2026

I think there's something really special in a story that can show the pain blossoming outward like a storm, where the characters struggle against each other and their own understanding, unable to reach for each other when the world beyond them is full of endless, hungry eyes. 5/6 🩸📚

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 18/08/2026

In contrast, a man who's no longer the breadwinner in his household spends his days lying to his wife; currying favour with religious men (and venture capitalists) with their own agendas; and seeking out ideologies that affirm his anxieties, entitlement, and violent actions. 4/6

110

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 18/08/2026

These characters see their truth, and they need to hold onto it so tightly. (Minor spoilers ahead.) A teenage girl afraid of her father might be sent to a psychiatrist, heavily medicated, and told that her concerns aren't real. She's crazy. In her craziness, she can conveniently be dismissed. 3/6

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 18/08/2026

14 year-old Marjorie tells herself (and her little sister, the narrator), that she's in control. It's hard to believe, considering the sheer number of adults who are determined to control her thoughts and actions, and seem barely able to imagine that she might read Lovecraft and Nabokov. 2/6

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 18/08/2026

Horror book appreciation: When life spins out of control and a character frantically acts to construct a narrative where they ARE in control, Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts is a beautiful example of how the icy core of that pain will spread. 1/6 🩸📚 #booksky

A lot creative work is already being called porn. Book banners are calling books with queer people simply existing "porn" to get them pulled out of schools and libraries. We are in this together whether you like it or not. Solidarity is the only way to fight.

I call it unconscionable to put the artist in a position of greater risk while explicitly sticking their heads in the sand about their stated values.

110

Kaiden Alderling @alderling.com · 12/08/2026

Wow. That's so performative on their part? And artists have enough problems claiming expenses against grant income on their taxes as it is???

The mist in the evening light over the pond make a gorgeous backdrop for writing.

It seems like every time I meet an artist, the only way to keep up with their work is via Instagram.

That's awesome! Wishing you all the joyous momentum in its new home.

Oh, it sounds like fun! I'll pop in and take a look around when I get a chance. Are you serialising anything yourself, right now?

I have discovered that my meds need to be in a very specific spot in the morning. Not the spot where they make sense, but the spot where I actually take them...

I think that might be why I didn't click well with these movies. In the modern era, are kids not allowed to imagine themselves as an anonymous, masked superhero?
