Reposted by Rayne HawthorneJuliet E McKenna @julietemckenna.bsky.social · 14/01/2026I don't use any generative AI. A statistical word-string vending machine offers me nothing useful creatively and nothing trustworthy as research. The environmental impact is appalling and these companies stole copyright intellectual property knowing that's illegal. GenAI is dishonest at every level. 110531

Don’t wait. So MANY indie series never get finished because the author gets zero sales on the opening volumes and gives up. Give them a reason to keep going. Buy the books. 14957473

Reposted by Rayne HawthorneXEECEE @xeecee.bsky.social · 26/07/2025This is why it is important to draw a line here now. Adult works are not lesser than art with quote unquote serious artistic merit. You cannot sacrifice some art and continue on your merry way enjoying things you’ve compartmentalized as different because it dresses its topics up a little differently 125475
