It is *so* difficult for marginalized authors to break into publishing let alone succeed (especially these days) We need all the encouragement and good news we can get, so I will keep posting about my accomplishments PROUDLY. I’m not policing my tone for anyone. Don’t like it, close your eyes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also really proud of getting this shot of a spoonbill and her baby. The babies don't develop the full beak and the pink color until year two.

a roseate spoonbill and the litul baby, which looks a lot like a white egret or heron, but nah.

Do the writers using AI not realize that the expediency of this tool is just rushing them towards the inevitable limits of their own underdeveloped ability? Shortchanging yourself out of hard work means you will ultimately produce rapid drivel. Even worse, you won't be able to tell.

Sometimes you make art and it is successful, and people treat that success like a mandate for more of your art. But life is your art's mandate. The success is not only subjective, but another matter entirely. Life is art's mandate. You don't need anyone else's permission. #writingcommunity

Sanderson’s Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is such a love letter to the arts and a commentary on why AI will never be able to truly touch our souls the way human art can. ❤️ 10/10 ⭐️ #imreading

was talking with a friend last night about the sharp divide between people whose trauma tells them "it can happen anywhere" and the people whose trauma/denial tells them "we made it, we're safe now, it won't happen here no matter what". And the people with no trauma who just don't believe it's real.
