Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

if you have any interest in sword world before the kickstarter hits, check out the fanreddit, they have a deal with the publisher that their translations can stay up Until they get around to officially adapting the content in them so the core books will be taken down relatively soon

Oh thank god, I got that last bit to look forward to

Last Snowed In player! @wizardstyles.bsky.social, the third Find Out crew member in the cast, will be nocturnal for this. Like a vampire. Christopher Hodgson was ordered to Burnished Sky to meet his coterie leader there, so of course, he came (to kill them). He may find himself becoming the prey.

a girl told me I look cute on the train and I started blushing, next thing i know i'm up against the wall getting the 'stop resisting'

everything will definitely be alright ✨💗💜

let me repeat myself: we have vaccines for cancers now. also, 40 years ago was 1986. height of the AIDS crisis. and now we have treatments and preventatives and it isn't a guaranteed miserable death sentence anymore also also, the internet is nice

Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 19h ago

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Me reading the latest update "to under the bludgeonings of chance" from itsthechocopuff: They're not gods! They can both die! And they exist with or without believers or worshipers! They're just long lines fucking aliens! Don't listen to their bullshit.

The computer gods do not smile upon me. After an unplanned restart my computer seems unwilling to acknowledge my monitors are plugged in. Fella fear for the status of my GPU (especially in this economy). Doing some tech triage but idk man id-fucking-k So no Roadwarden for us tonight it seems 🥲

Find Out Productions@findoutproductions.bsky.social · 2d ago

itsthechocopuff latest update to under the bludgeonings of chance might have truly broken me. I have been a casual Yoda hater for years but this fic I'M WISHING TRUE VIOLENCE. I threw my phone away from me I was so mad/shocked. I'll be grappling with my feelings for DAYS.

I made a new sticker design right before we left on our con gauntlet. #art www.monkeyminionpress.com/products/boo...

When did "Don't speak ill of the dead" shift from asking someone to not cause a scene at a private funeral to the need to scold others for being happy when a bigot dies?

What the fuck do you mean the people who own ReedPop have the same fucking parent company as Lexis fucking Nexis???? What the fuck is happening?? Its the fucking Penske's all over again but worse!

Consider checking out my @offprint.app where I post my original writing stuff. I'm trying to get back into the habit of just sharing my writing with the world instead of it just dying a sad death in various notes & writing programs. I've been told by people its pretty good work signedionie.gay

Not only is "friendslop" good, this newly defined genre of tightly-focused multiplayer indie games have been able to swing at AAA live service games for real good reasons lately. Also, after the top of the page, I pitch the new name "bestiecore" here. Yay bestiecore. www.mmorpg.com/editorials/s...

I'm back playing Roadwarden again tonight! I sort of remember where I left of playing but I do know I wrote myself notes. I remember I was having a Bad Time™️ but it was getting better (I bathed!) Come hang out while I play tonight at 6pm PT/9pm ET over on twitch.tv/findoutproductions

Fanfic I want from someone who isn't me, Star Wars x Elden Ring. I just think it would be fun!

4th Snowed In player! @hammpod.bsky.social is a jack-of-all-trades in TTRPGs and generally a forever GM/host, but they're a player in this chronicle. Tam is an adept explorer and spiritual guide whose inquisitive nature and interest in mysteries get them into fairly regular amounts of shenanery.

Streaming services really robbed our youth of the formative experience of the rental store clerk recommending something fucked up

I’m tired of old ppl in Congress on the left thinking the problem with tech companies will be solved by just taxing them more. Sure, they need to pay more in taxes but what they really need is to be regulated and held accountable for the products they unleash on the public

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 2d ago

Do you use Instagram or Gmail? You could be helping to train AI. Big Tech has turned what all of us helped create into a trillion-dollar industry. It’s time to tax AI so you can share in its success.

white ppl in fandom will be like "i dont write black characters bc its not my place and i just dont want to offend anyone by overstepping"................but you write asians all the time tho? 🤨

Making money is a separate skill. If you cannot sell, you cannot make money You can be the most brilliant, smartest , well read, scientific mind in the world but if you cannot sell, you will not make money Selling requires understanding your community and where they are right now in this moment

Me revisiting an old fandom: There's only like 500 of them of course I've read them already! No not every single one of them but yes every complete one that I deemed good and no there hasn't been a new work in the fandom in YEARS OKAY.
