Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

I'm getting some very kind messages of support, many surrounding the concept of money, and how law suits are expensive. Please do not worry about me. Instead, I wish to turn your wallets toward a lovely group of people who brough me support, joy, and/or distraction in the past three years. 🧵

I know OG Pixar had a lot of undeniable proto-reddit/techbro DNA; but I also feel like at least "TOY STORY" seems to have lost something now that it's being made by people with actual children (and child-raising opinions) instead of Boomer nerdlords who wished their actions figures were their dads

Well, I've had this draft sitting here for ages and now that I could probably post it, it doesn't really work because The Only White Person Fighting Racism in Publishing (TM) has paused posting on Bluesky (although she's still calling everyone including my friend a nazi in private).

Screenshot of a Bluesky post draft that says: It’s just so funny to me that there’s this white lady on here screaming how she’s the only person fighting racism in publishing, meanwhile she repeatedly attacked my friend (incl calling her a nazi) who was literally sued in literal court for telling a white man not to use the literal n word.

Anyway another $400 at the vet for Temperance and I'll find out if she can handle dental work at her age or not when the bloodwork is back, and Shawn still has to go for his bloodwork he wouldn't cooperate for, so I dunno I guess buy my books to rebuilt my vet fund for Shawn's next crisis.

Being able to write a romance in a novel is not the same thing as being able to write a romance novel, though. One is a plot point. The other is working within a genre space with established market expectations.
