I find it a bit funny (and frustrating) when people say fantasy inspired by Europe is overdone when said "Europe" ends at the eastern border of Italy, followed by a huge blank space, and then oh, there's Russia, and that's basically it.

This lecture series is so good beyond just understanding Ukraine. It goes into detail about what history is, what narratives and myths exist about nations (and their supposed origins) and gives a broad picture on languages and cultures in (Central and) Eastern Europe.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began two years ago, the most useful thing I've done is this lecture series on Ukrainian history. Thanks to Yale for making it public. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

None of my writing or other creative projects are (or ever will be) created with the help of generative AI. Neither to generate text and images, nor for prompts, brainstorming or style adjustments.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Der Sicherheitsbegriff ist viel zu sehr auf Kriminalität ausgerichtet. Ich fühle mich z.B. in diesem Land nicht sicher, weil die Regierung weder Energiewende, digitale Unabhängigkeit noch soziale Gerechtigkeit auf die Kette bekommt und gleichzeitig versagt, die Demokratie vor Faschismus zu schützen.

German commentators be normal about queer men in figure skating challenge (the 'anyone can be out these days luckily because it's no longer a problem' 💀 coming from someone is whose country the first out football referee just got hatecrimed....) #MilanoCortina2026 #fs

Finished another DnD party illustration in December, for @detectivelys.bsky.social and @darekt.bsky.social 's party. Loved the outfits and overall vibe. :3 Thank you! #dnd5e #dndcommission #originalcharacters #digitalartists #noai

A digital group illustration of five young people looking directly at the viewer. They are wearing a selection of Pakistani and Slavic inspired clothing in saturated colors. In the background, a singed curtain hangs in front of a window looking into a warm evening sky, next to the group are the rest of the curtain on the floor and a big candle holder.

You know, some days I sit and think about how absolutely wild it is that we've built a society where we don't provide a place for people to even sleep at night without having to pay for it, and that we've somehow made it seem like that's normal.

Where do people go to talk about #TheSovereign by C. L. Clark? I can't believe it's over but it was so satisfying and complex!! These past few years many final books of trilogies felt like such a letdown, but The Sovereign just delivered 🙏
