Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Yeah, there is a point in almost every shonen show where the powers get so elaborate you either need a physics or a philosophy degree or both to understand the BS. Or you just shut your brain and admire the pretty fights. 110
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Ayy Congratulations! Also you are really going for a Sons theme, huh 110

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Dolly Parton was one of my first favorite musicians and I feel so lucky to have played a small part in her music video rendition of Imagine as a child.

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Especially calling out to creatives who think AI is not ok for writing but research is a different matter. Research is part of the writing process. Editing is part of the writing process. Every moment you spend brain power on a story, is the writing process. 021
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 05/08/2026PSA: I want to highlight that AI does not work as a search engine or a research assistant. People think it does, that it helps them summarize complex papers in a way that is easy to understand but it cannot replace the work of actually reading and tackling with information. 120
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 01/08/2026The only good solution left - put 160 writers in a room, have them handwrite short stories in a Mr Beast style tournament. Surviving 10 gets published. 020
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Trying some high fantasy for maybe the first time and enjoying the first draft fun of making shit up and being like “whose gonna prove me wrong?” (it’ll be me when I’m editing) 030
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Idk what he’s complaining about. Im constantly reminding my player that they got a 17 passive perception which means they HAVE to listen to my exposition. 000
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 30/06/2026This feels like the backrooms of great American state fairs. 000
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Someone please make a cozy game about being a reference librarian who has to research topics patrons ask them about on the library database. You get points for speed and accuracy but there are no wrong answers. Misinformation will lose points. Sorta like Papers Please but solarpunk. #games 1123

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 18/06/2026There is only one episode I remember with crystal clarity and it the one where the world runs out of oil and this one guy whose whole house operated on gas nearly dies until the mole saves him. Clearly prophetic. 000
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 18/06/2026name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you (on this side of the world): 100
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 18/06/2026yes! I want to be able to put my hand in my pocket and hold a book likes its knife I’m preparing to stab you with. 010
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Its a funny day when a manga about little league baseball has more pathos and low-key more horror than the Backrooms movie. 010

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Its always “men hate x” when its something they don’t want to be responsible for, but “not all men” when its something they don’t want to be accountable for. Do you speak for “men” or not? 110

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Its funny too cause last semester (my first semester) they announced they were finally shutting down their VR/Metaverse rooms/program. All these trends to get libraries and schools to expend resources they don’t have for industries that don’t give anything back is really frustrating to see. 100
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Shout out also to MLIS programs who keep trying to shove AI down our throats, as if that will help us in any way with our studies. 110
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 22/05/2026This is devastating to hear. You all have done so much and meant so much for the sci-fi community. Thank you for all the amazing work and i really hope you can return someday. 000
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 20/05/2026The internet to me has always been a digital library, both a space to connect, to learn and to be entertained and its crazy that we figured that out and now are backtracking to worse versions. Progress really isn’t linear. 010
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 20/05/2026There has been a war for a while now from the tech companies as they try to reshape the internet into 1 of 3 forms of exploited capital - land (metaverse), commodities (crypto/nft), & “labor” (AI). 110
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 18/05/2026You can test it out in safer context and circles first. Its not the same but when i wore more colored wigs i first started with halloween and convention spaces, until I had the confidence and enough friends who got it to wear wigs to school. 110
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I love how I can tell my parents multiple times about the new D-line stops in LA and they are like “meh, whatever, our daughter is ranting again” And then i read them a quote from LA Times about how you can now get from Union Station to Beverly Hills in 21 mins and it blows their minds. 120
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Empathy has been horribly co-opted in recent years by some of the worst people, but i genuinely believe that empathy starts with a curiosity in the world around you and a willingness to interact with it with kindness and some wonder. 010
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 08/05/2026longer slower and much less certain prospects of changing our health care system and creative industries. AI is bad. And i left feeling like Cassie had fallen into a trap she contributed in building because the more book slop is out there the harder it is to distinguish yourself. 010
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I was at this panel and Cassie said some wild stuff. But I do sympathize with the issues she laid out that she claimed AI addressed for. Market pressures, the need to make money, insecurity as a writer, and mental health issues. AI promised to be a quick fix to all of that rather than the— 100
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 28/04/2026I love the term 😂 The insanity really comes down to capital trying to control and commodify the immaterial and undefinable. 010
Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 28/04/2026This makes me think of the stories my mom tells me of the dudes in her meditation class who will interrupt the lecture to demand direct answers, all so they can race to the certificate, so they can become “teachers” themselves. They miss the point entirely and the whole class suffers. 110

Isabella @isabellak.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Give yourself a timer (15 min), write by hand with a pen, don’t let yourself backtrack or re-read what you wrote. Don’t stop writing until the timer goes off. If it goes off and you find yourself in a grove, keep going until you’ve run out of words. Then re-read. 000
