i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

A rich person can never be held accountable. Therefore, a rich person must never make a societal decision

Been working on a cover idea. The library is done but now I'm debating over how to colour it. Idk if I should go for realism or more fun/jewelled tones
Pen-and-ink drawing of a Viking Age Thor's hammer pendant. At the top, a stylized face with large round ringed eyes, a long nose, and curving beaded brows and moustache sits between two flared, banded ends. A beaded collar connects it to a narrow shaft decorated with mirrored S-shaped scrolls. At the bottom, the broad hammer head is bordered with beaded bands and filled with knotwork: a central interlaced knot flanked by two figure-eight loops. A small teardrop shape hangs from the base.

I fear I have just discovered Pinterest collages and I'm making it everyone's problem
Mood board collage titled "Freyja's aesthetic at the start of the book," showing modern British school life. Images include teenagers in school uniforms sitting on grass, a teacup of floral tea with blue flowers, a laptop beside an open textbook and handwritten notes with a pink pen, a doodle-covered pencil case with wired earphones, a girl with a long blonde braid in an orange jumper seen from behind, students working in a science lab, a small album-cover photo of a band against a blue sky, a pair of worn white trainers, and a sleeping tabby-and-white cat.Mood board collage titled "Freyja's aesthetic at the end of the book," with a Viking-age Norse theme on a shimmering gold background. Images include a Thor's hammer pendant, a pair of ornate oval brooches, a hnefatafl board game with carved pieces, an amber pendant, a carved wooden figure of a bearded face, a glass of amber mead, dripping gold, a carved wooden stave church, raw wool and hand-knitted socks, drop spindles wound with white yarn, a Celtic-knot hair clip in long blonde hair, a carved wooden comb, and the interior of a Viking longhouse with carved red pillars and a long wooden table.

So a fun fact about my story. I have had the characters and concepts nailed down since I was in high school. I'm now in my 30s These characters deserved better than the half-baked stuff I put them through when I was 17 so now I have been rewriting, editing, to build a story that makes sense #writing

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

I need someone to tell me if there's a difference between romantasy and romance story that takes place in a fantasy setting. #writing

Fun fact about me: I'm British and French and I live in Iceland I moved here in 2020 after becoming way too interested in the language and culture. My icelandic isn't great yet but I am working on it! Also I am operating under a nom de plume so if you know me IRL ... No you don't.

At the start, she assumes people's warmth toward her comes with hidden motives, and she tends to come across as snappy and sarcastic as a defense mechanism. By the end of the book, she is surrounded by found family, no longer needing to build walls and protect herself.

I'm putting my first book(s?) together on @storyforge.bsky.social and figured I can yap about them on here 😄 They're a series of urban fantasy/romance (but not romantasy, I think?) in the world of Norse mythology
