If we want good game genre names we need to rebuild a world where the people who drive the vocabulary of games aren't hordes of terminally online consumers. Crowdsourcing is how you get Boaty McBoatface, the game genre.

pro tip: your portable air conditioner runs better and significantly quieter if you occasionally clean the cat hair out of its intake filters 😅
No doesn't mean no to these assholes, and why would it? They're used to fawning AI chatbots they can repeat themselves enough times to to get the desired outcome, so no is just an invitation to try harder. No amount of clarity on my part that "I DO NOT WANT AI GENERATED SLOP" matters to them.
What I've not told you before is how these slopware developers often refuse to take no for an answer. I get an email with an offer of a paid promotion for some slop game with live AI integration and I decline, but a day or two later I get the same email with the same offer I just declined.
Everybody help Wolffie because she is rad and deserves it

Kara Rules!! Check out Magica Riot!!
Kara Buchanan 🏳️⚧️@magicariot.com · 23h agoI have two novels so far full of trans joy, villain punching, rock music, lesbian feelings, and classic magical girl action. I'm working on the next book *and* on some other cool stuff, so why not support the cutie crew? Read their current adventures in ebook, print, or audio formats! magicariot.com
Apparently AI weirdos have lost all memories of events before 2024 or so. If AI disappeared tomorrow I would continue to *keep doing everything I do without ever touching it,* just as I do now and have done for the last forty four years.
Alexander Glass@alexanderglass.bsky.social · 11h agoI have one answer.
Every cat owner has random trash in their house they can't throw away yet because a cat claimed ownership of it, and knows for certain that the more expensive the cat toy the more the cat will be interested in the box it came in.
Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · 20h agoSomeone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷♀️

how do I keep finding new Bsky staffers who are like "oh nobody is REALLY anti-AI"
Moving cities is expensive, so... if anyone wants to buy my books I'd be very thankful. And you get some fun gay and/or trans stories! www.amazon.com/stores/Fern-... beedok.itch.io www.patreon.com/c/beedok/shop books2read.com/ap/xolebm/Fe...
If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
404 Media@404media.co · 23h agoMike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.
Y'all I am SO excited to report: Nova, by @yumykon.com! I've been a huge fan of Yumykon's work for ages & absolutely could not pass up this opportunity! just LOOK AT HER! She's flammin' awesome! A huge thanks to Yumykon for taking this on and knocking it out of the ballpark! #MagicaRiotArt
the oscilloscope can produce mind-boggling effects 💀
The Ken Jennings thing was distilled proof of “I’m your biggest ally until you make me feel bad for the thing I like doing and then I stop listening.” This is so common. People will stand up for a marginalized community UP UNTIL it puts them in an uncomfortable position
MY CAT [an objectively magnificent animal, sagacious yet tender]: sometimes when i eat too fast i frow up 😻
balancing my PG-13 rule with my desire to keep going with this scene I'm writing 🥵
The two major alien ships introduced in TNG's first season are some of my favourites and I would argue hold up better today than many of the others that followed in terms of originality and refined detailing. The Warbird is a fan favourite but I feel like the Ferengi Marauder is somewhat slept on.
too many people who love magical girls don't know about Magica Riot yet and this must change 🥹

Conservative views aren't being suppressed here, they are just A) not being boosted and B) incredibly unpopular because they are odious
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Still working on getting this month’s rent assistance funded. We’re past the first quarter, which is good. When it’s fully funded, I’ll release another free short story and host a cooking stream again. ko-fi.com/autumnwolff/... #mutualaid

The push and pull between wanting more physical media and encouraging people to buy physical media and seeing “Kangaroo Jack Steelbook 4K restoration - $79.99”
you really do not have to do much at all to make the Sherwin Williams logo into the logo of an evil organization in a spy movie
A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE
It was a report on Bradbury back in high school that resulted in an English teacher pulling me aside after class & telling me I should be a writer. Genuinely changed my life, and I thank Ray for that too. "There Will Come Soft Rains" (along with "The Martian Chronicles") was a big influence for me.
Adam Rawnsley@arawnsley.bsky.social · yesterdayToday, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
Morton Salt Girl is a merry fellow; Bright blue her label is and her shoes are yellow
