iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Must I accept that my tax dollars make me complicit. In not only this but so much irredeemable cruelty?

Do we know which services will be live streaming the execution? I would like to begin my boycott of them and their advertisers now. The man to be executed is paralyzed. Will he be seated in his wheelchair for this or tied upright to a post? Do we still condemn cruel and unusual punishments?

Try to think of your many trips to refill it as your physical workout for the day. Think of your 'steps'. There must be a germ of positivity in this disaster.

Absolutely true and not a surprise to anyone with a cuddle puppy.

Welp. Never submitting a story there again. Used to be a reliable market.

A beauty bark splinter(invisible) in my S W X finger pad should not be as awful as it is. What's tanking your productivity today?

Trees are alive. Every tree is a library of life, host to fungi and insects, sheltering birds and mammals. 250 year old city of life forms.

My personal philosophy is that writers need to leave room for the creativity if the artist. After all, every reader reads a different book. The noun 'river' and I see the Chena River near Fairbanks. 'Mountain' is Alyeska or Tahoma. But your Elric is always my Elric

Have you seen the price of a packet of hot dogs lately? The good kind, no gluten, were $10 for five hotdogs.

It's not just old people like me with hearing issues. IMO some actors do not enunciate as they once did.

I should say thank you to you, but the image triggers other emotions in me!!!! (Thanks anyway.)

So. We will now have Choose Your Own Adventure books for adults. I am righteously angry that some will be 'Reimagined' classics. Jane Austen!?

I wish the major television news shows would reserve a box at the bottom or top of the screen for closed captioning. Sometimes the captions cover info such as the name of the person being interviewed.

I try to remember to be glad that we live in a time when surgeries can fix things. Still wish our bodies were ever renewing. Best wishes.

Its nice when old people like my spouse and I have friends who check on us. Several times a day, he gets a phone call. There's always a cheery greeting and a 'how are you doing today?' I try not to feel jealous. Someday I will meet Potential Spam and thank her for her solicitude of him.

So. If my ballot isn't counted. Who can I sue? Who is left holding the bag?

Awful!! I hope we can get this figured out. Are these bots doing this? AI? Some of the claimants don't make sense.

Are these fakes of The Nerd Reich also in brick and mortar book stores?

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

This is horrifying. How does a new reader find out which is the real book to buy it? Identical titles, identical 'author' name.

I believe they are now in a lawsuit over stolen music. You make a good point.

So. What is safe to buy and eat in the US right now? Tainted produce. Metal bristles in processed food. Salmonella eggs and chicken. Trust lost is hard to regain.

I learned a lot from a panel about saving film to digital. I went for Kat who had a schedule conflict. I'm not a film person so I didn't get all the vocabulary but still learned a lot. Also got a hug in passing from GRRM. Met Jay Kristoff. Saw old friends, made new ones.

Unpacked the night I got home. Laundry done today. Repack con essentials kit into con suitcase. Saves so much hassle later. (Ibuprofen, hand sanitizer, comb, brush etc )

Don't be taken in. It's a scam.

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It's the law of cons. The three panels you really want to see are always simultaneous. Or when you are terribly hungry.

060

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Con rule. If you want to see something, it will happen at exactly the time you have to do something else. I have a 1:30 panel on Sunday. :(

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

To be clear. I am not advocating this. Writers and discerning readers won't be the buyers or sellers. Will copyright matter if you can crank out scores of new tales in a few hours? Say an AI digital novella costs 99 cents. Who would bother stealing it? To what end?

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Thanks for the warning. I will pack accordingly.

Aug.2026. The startup publisher who takes AI or the publisher that starts an AI imprint is going to make millions. Many readers enjoy formulaic romance, detective, fantasy and Western fiction. Cheap quick reads. It could be created by interns inhouse. No need for writers, no royalties, no advances.

No. But I do remember a Disney program where we tuned a radio to a certain frequency while the Disney show was on. And it was in STEREO!!!!!

But if a 'publisher' asks a writer for money up front . . .Run Away!!!

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Indy writers invest a lot in their dreams but I believe they control their expenditures themselves. Many make the final equation work and money again flows toward the writer.

Robin Hobb @robinhobb.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Money flows toward the writer in traditional publishing.

I do not think I will ever buy a bagged salad again. They were always a second choice. Convenient but always had a faint taste of the wash used to clean them. I miss having a fully functioning Federal Department of Agriculture. I relied on those inspectors.
