Writing a poem about all my bad boyfriends and there's going to be a lot of verses for people to sit through

Just as we imagined - the writers have assembled!

spent the weekend in madrid with the @saloneurope.bsky.social and I can't say often enough how impressed I am at the talented people I meet there, and how grateful I am to participate in such an inspiring, brilliant, well-filling community. I've come home with so much <3

On a train to Germany after the beautiful weekend in Madrid with @saloneurope.bsky.social - and all of what I absorbed is slowly sinking in. I feel like there are not enough notebooks in the world to hold it all. 💜🌟 Thank you gorgeous writing tribe.

Deborah@deborahzafer.bsky.social · last mo.

Good morning! Do you need a poem today? Like this post and I will post a poem just for you and DM you to tell you why. Might be random. Might be because it makes me think of you. Might be because it is how I imagine you based on your profile. Let us see....

if you are reviewing an unpublished manuscript and you have the sheer unmitigated audacity, cheek, gall and laziness to upload it into an LLM to generate a review, let me tell you, you should be shunned and tarred and feathered

just learned this today

the recent breakthrough of the A.I. doomsday narrative wasn't a psy-op, nor was it *just* marketing; these guys believe their rhetoric, albeit for reasons that have little grounding in reality. allow me, a longtime observer of the scene, to walk you through what's goin on: slate.com/technology/2...

This post is making the rounds again for some reason and therefore I feel I must inform you that they’ve hired another one so there are now TWO forensic pathologists working in Iceland.

Hildur Knútsdóttir@hildur.bsky.social · 3y ago

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.
