if you want to chat about something sensitive, you can use Bluesky DMs to exchange contact info, but I would recommend moving the conversation to Signal. Bluesky DMs are private, but they are not (yet) E2EE. Signal is hardened, focused, and does privacy/security best.

So, Elon Musk is apparently a Neil Stephenson fan, he made staff read "Cryptonomicon" at PayPal. But he is the kind of fan who misses the point of the book! Snowcrash is all about mental viruses and the villian is a media tycoon billionaire who tries to infect the "Net" with a mind virus.

It was the perfect solution to "give a child time to decide" for themselves. Blocking blockers is cruelty.

*desperately trying to manufacture a take that'll get me cancelled voice* uh, cis guys who wear hoodies are actually boymoding equally as much as closeted transfems who wear hoodies and the correct response to both is to start relentlessly gendering them as female until they put on a sundress

the NYT is an anti-trans organization. we can say this because they publish anti-trans pieces, which is the only requirement. occasionally allowing a writer to run a pro-trans piece does not unwrite the anti-trans pieces. if you write for the NYT you write for a hate org using you for cover.

Twitter just flagging the descriptor "CIS" as hate speech because Elon decided to make his bullshit everyone's problem.

Hate speech flag cause I used the term CIS

The left is too toxic to each other and too nice to our enemies. Fuck purity politics And Fuck playing fair against the Right. They don't worry about lies, or harassment, or sending their mob after their enemies. We shouldn't hesitate against them.

Watching Dracula at the Richmond Ballet. The Vampire is a class war concept. The rich aristocratic Nobel feeding on the lifeblood and corrupting the people. We lost that lesson in the "sexy vamp" wave of the 90s. We need that interpretation back.

Sometimes you know a new personality is about to enter your story and you realize that they are far more important that you realized.

So good to see this moral panic wave starting to recede. The long work of undoing their damage is going to take decades.

So, I don't like the idea of using AI Images for book covers. I think it's better to pay an artist or license a photo and make your copy. But In trying to visualize your characters, as a writing aid. It can be pretty handy.

Cyberpunk has done gritty Sci-Fi New York, LA, Seattle, and Tokyo. Why not Richmond Virginia for a change? Mixing High-Tech archologies with 19th Century Postbellum aesthetics.

I have already been published under a number of pen names, while I learned my way around, I guess it is time to show myself as I prepare to launch my first full length Cyberpunk Novel. Title and Cover are works in progress. I also made a series to help me visualize my way through the plot.
