I took a look out of pure curiosity It’s like an Ikea for sex toys You could put these on your kitchen counter top and not one family member would question it Bonus points, the entire women’s line-up is all made, from design to pouring, exclusively by women I’m impressed

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

From what I've been glimpsing from news articles, Germany's latest Pro-nationalist AFD party has lost like 90% of its activity instantly 90% of their online verbal support/sharing network died instantly when this data center burned If this is indeed true, that's actually insane

#FuckAi These dipshits can burn right in hell with their GenAi crap

ARE THESE MADE USING AI?
Yes, Authors First productions use generative image and video Al tools to bring stories to the screen. But Al is the unlock, not the storyteller: every series is shaped by the author's original vision, guided by their final cut approval, and built by a human creative team of artists and craftspeople. We are transparent about our use of Al by design, because the goal isn't to replace human creativity - it's to produce stories that wouldn't otherwise get made.

Marketing is a skill that I'm not great at honing in on. There's a lot of nuance to visual appeal. A lot more than I understand So all I have today is this: "Follow the #Backerkit for more details" www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... #BuyIndie #Bookish #booksky #Indiebooks

A promotional piece showing a mock-up of the book against a vibrant green background with leaves and white dots for decorative appeal. The text in white reads

"The story is not finished until the forest is reclaimed"
"Heart of Oak"
"A high-stakes fantasy novel with espionage, epic battles, and adventuring party shenanigans

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.
