It's a great month to revisit my magical flash story about two queer tweens surviving their summer before high school. 🪰🚲🎠 www.apexbookcompany.com/blogs/apex-m... 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

White text over a dark forest background reads, "n the day we run out of TVs to smash in the quarry, and the stinking August heat sits heavy on our shoulders like a plague blanket, and the pond is too swarming with green-headed flies to offer relief, we take our bikes to see God. -Ravn J. Silver, Cassandra and the Changeling, Apex Magazine Issue 151." There is a picture of a horse fly in the top right corner, and a picture of a single carousel pony under the text.

kinda wild how many folks get this overwhelming feeling that they are not exceptional when everyone so obviously is. being incredible is what humans are BUILT for we come out of the box BENDING WORLDS. you are a wonder, the feeling that you are not is dead weight from deflated dreams of someone else

What I find heartbreaking about AI art is that it has spread a deeper lie than just appropriation of others' work. It has the most toxic lie to art I can think of embedded in it: Art is the final product. Attachment to outcome is a subtle death.

I've never had as much fun thrifting as when I went hunting for all black clothes... Let my void phase begin!

Bro excitement over “AI” art strikes me as another example of the notion that an “idea” is worth more than execution, as in “I’ll give you my idea, you write it, and we’ll split the proceeds 50/50.” Ideas are cheap. The execution of ideas is the part that takes skill, & skill that makes great art.

Real talk. We need 300 new subscribers (including renewals) to keep publishing issues at our current size. If we don't get hit that number we will need to scale back the magazine size. Help us keep our size (or increase it!) over the next two weeks! apex-magazine.com/apex-blog/it...

Is it weird that being on this Twitter clone (when I was never much of a tweeter) makes me feel like a real writer?

Y'all so many folks are quoting/replying w/ some variation of "Wow, I feel this a lot and I've felt shame/failure at struggling to create." And I would say, look at all of us: you aren't alone. Art is a support system for life, not the other way around. Life happens and it's OK if art has to pause.

I know my writing is better than anything that a predicative text machine can spit out, but the machine doesn't need to be better than me. It just needs to convince someone at the top of the chain that they can sell its work just as easily as they can sell mine.

My advice--don't worry too much about being "original." Worry about whether the thing you're doing is interesting and fun to you. There will always be someone to say your work isn't sufficiently new. They are obviously not your audience. 5/5

I'm not exactly looking for a Twitter replacement, since I was never really into Twitter, but finding community is always nice!
