It’s not a ‘ridiculous position’ to say I won’t support anyone using generative AI. I don’t care if it’s ’only a little’. It taints them and their product. To use a classic: here, they’ve made a sandwich with only a little bit of shit smeared inside. Still want to eat it?

My last two reads each had a character called Ariadne. And I loved them both. #BookCoincidences #Booksky #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy

Two books facing forward on a bookshelf. To Be Taught if Fortuate by Becky Chambers and Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Happy #InverteFest! Squid says trans rights! 🦑

Symmetrical digital drawing of a squid with its head down and legs waving up in the air and all wrapped around each other. The squid is outlined in white and shaded in with the soft pink and blue of the trans pride flag.

Brilliant post by Nicola. Fantasy is definitely a genre that's adapted and changed the most in the last ten years. There's sub-genres now which didn't exist when I started reading fantasy consistently back in 2017. #booksky

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”

The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

Snippets for the curious (still free through the weekend!) 🐦 🤠

SISTER THRUSH
"What of our duties, my Lady?"
Spira managed.
Lady Alessa smiled with her eyes.
"Your duties as ladies-in-waiting are forthwith excused." Her voice grew deeper, her eyes sharper, as she continued. "You will join me for dinner at eight. Afterward, your duties as my wives shall begin."

"I'd understand if you wanted to head back now, and I'd go with you."
"Fuck you, Dralen. We're going back in." Her finger hung in the air near his chest but did not touch it. He looked down at it, then back up into her eyes, which softened as her finger fell. "Don't you want to know what happened to Them?"
Dralen nodded, closing his eyes for a moment.
"You do have a plan, right?"
He nodded again, biting his lip against the grin that threatened to break out.
"I'm going to hate it, aren't I?"

Why is everything so transparently evil now?

"Print books from the pre-LLM era are structurally guaranteed to be free of this contamination. That alone is a significant advantage," it explains in an article on its website, as quoted by
404. "Physical books published before this date [pre-2022] are structurally clean of modern poisoning tools."
Once focused on helping libraries, distributors, and book shops find and sell books, ISBNdb now helps Al companies bulk-buy anywhere between 1,000 to one million books per order, according to 404.

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

“Do Dead Malls Go To Heaven?” Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes. (WIP process in comments)

you know the kid lit publishing controversy that actually exists and I'd like you all to get on? The lack of marketing & publicity support for books by marginalized authors that don't sell and then are used as proof to not acquire more books from those authors.
