Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

Part of my ADHD management has been dividing up overwhelming projects into a bunch of digestible tasks. This wisdom remains true.

While I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I can attest to how weird and mean people can be towards others based on my experiences with ARFID. The vegan and vegetarian folks I've met were actually the most sympathetic and least judgmental towards my disorder. So you come for them, you come for me first.

Sara Century@saracentury.bsky.social · 2d ago

I went vegetarian at 14 and had people trying to sneak meat into my food, calling me slurs, waving pieces of ham in my face, telling me I was going to die from poor health, refusing to provide options at meals, etc, but to this day I say I'm vegan and people are like "omg, so you're JUDGY."

I'm at a housewarming party that just put on Muppets Take Manhattan on the TV, so I need everyone at this party to stop socializing and watch this classic film with me. 😂

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

Heads up, artists 🚨 There’s a massive scam wave hitting DeviantArt right now DO NOT CLICK IT. If you have artist friends on DA, please boost this. I’d hate to see someone lose their account or payment info over something this stupid 🖤 { #DeviantArt #ArtistBeware #ScamAlert }

It's not easy to write a *good* comic. In fact, it's hard, but you can do it. Don't get in your head and let your internal doubt stop you. We all have our own doubts and inner critics. Your favorites do as well. Finish the sentence. Then the finish the next one, and keep going.

My dreams for an original Kamen Rider blu-ray release was dashed again this year. However, Toei just put the entire 52 episodes up on Youtube today, so I suppose that will suffice.

Happy Spider-man Day!

Well, the last couple of days have been a bust, but it's Spider-Man Day AND Discotek Day (crossing my fingers for a original Kamen Rider release announcement)!

Happy Spider-Man Day!

The best SUPERBOY cover ever. Without peer.

I’m hyped to see the new Spidey movie—no idea when I’ll get a chance to see it but it’s been fun to see so many positive reactions. I know it’s silly to get ANY feeling for a character owned by a megacorporation but, I can’t help it. Spider-Man is in my blood! 😵‍💫

A vital part of existing within comics is celebrating your wins and contributions. This is a team sport, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or make you feel like your work is not as important as someone else’s.

Recently a couple of writers whose work I formerly respected have admitted to using Chatgpt "for research" and I honestly can't get my head around it. Use Wikipedia for research? Absolutely. Read a fucking book? Golden. Consult the hallucinating autocorrect? Um, why the fuck would you do that?

Done! I couldn't put there all of the symbiotes, but I tried! Anyone interested in the high resolution file or a print?

A birthday request: I have a new book coming out Oct. 6th called DIANA— I think it’s unique, moving, and captures my soul well. Please order one, either from your local shop, library, online, or directly from me (which I’ll send out a month early!)— thank you. 💐 www.abramsbooks.com/product/dian...
