The world's been really, uh, worlding lately, so reposting some TNG joy for a bit of a breather.
Stumbled across some more of these photos of the TNG cast looking at the comic book art. I think they're all on TrekCore.

As someone who graduated from SFSU with an English degree and a Philosophy & Religion minor—well, fuck off, and fuck AI, too. I did not work for my degree just to go work at Soulless Plagiarism Factory. But also, I think I may need to stop looking at Bluesky tonight before I set something ON FIRE

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

How did I not know that Rick Gomez is a local?! Shit, I really am gonna have to get back to Silo, Season 3 now.
Could we instead return to the WW2 attitude of "Nazis are bad" instead of, you know, streaming government sponsored snuff films? Could we maybe do that, you petty piece of shit?

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/
I do not want my government to be in the business of making snuff films.
One of these days, I'm gonna spell asymmetrical correctly on the first go and not, you know, ass-y-metrical.

In today's installment of Apple Music shuffle being on the fucking nose: Johnny Cash's "Hurt" comes on while I'm dicing onions. "I focus on the pain/the only thing that's real," I sing, eyes burning, tears dripping down my face.

Ugh, it makes ALL the fucking difference. What a snotty, bullshit take (by JCO, to be clear).
What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!

This fucking guy, I swear to God. 😡

Model Home by Rivers Solomon is a beautifully, intensely disturbing psychological horror novel with absolutely phenomenal prose, and I remain annoyed that it wasn't a finalist for either the Stoker or the Shirley Jackson Awards.
What's a book you love with all your goddamn heart that you believe did NOT get the love and attention it's due? I'll go first, and it's abso-LUT-ely THE CITY IN GLASS by Nghi Vo. There are moments from that book that live in my blood and wake me from the dark.
