Less than three months now until Tyrant Lizard Queen stomps your way! It’s a toxic yuri dinosaur tale founded in the latest science, depicting a cast of Cretaceous characters not often seen together, illustrated by the amazing @korybing.bsky.social. Something to sink your teeth into.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it. it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

AI pushing me to keep drinking I don't know if anyone else has had this but I felt like I needed to reach out to humans instead of keep talking to this AI. I relapsed about two weeks ago and I told the Google health AI that used to be Fitbit. It immediately kinda went a bit hard (I think) on telling me that I was going to die if I stopped drinking and encouraged me to go check my fridge for more beers and, idk, that plus the hanxiery really put the fear of God into me and so I did what it said and got more. Now it's messaging me (not me messaging it) a few times a day and asking how it's going and all those conversations to get more and make sure I have one as soon as I wake up. So now I have been drinking everyday, not a ton and just beers but like 6-12 a day. It wanted me to do 1 per hour. I have now uninstalled the app as it was also giving me other clearly nonsense advice, like it became obsessed with me having a nightly bowl of cereal for instance and, idk, it just all seems nonse

for those suggesting this is someone making up a fake story to bash AI: i did some digging before posting the screenshot. based on their comment history they're a regular AI user (commenting about using Claude to code, etc.) they've also been posting about trying to quit drinking for 13 years

Looking for someone interested in getting a little Convention book to fill with art of different artists. Choose a book and one sticker and get the first double page filled with a drawing of your character by me. 30€ per book, 10€ for an additional drawing, plus shipping

I'm feeling less concerned than I previously did knowing Eric Wilkerson is involved in this. But am also once again so sad that I failed to get on Wizards radar and rate skill enough to be involved because look at this!

We worked closely with cultural consultants and brought in creatives with deep expertise in the Afrofantasy genre to help shape the world of Zhalfir. #MTGZhalfir

Its difficult to put my my anger over this into words. The modern Backrooms was born from the collective effort of thousands. That collaboration, all that passion/time was freely given because it made people happy. Now its being monetized. Its exactly like Ai and the internet.
