I’m looking for a gig. Here’s a detail of a short story i’m working on now. I LOVE short stories, love them!!!! but i need one of those big things like a miniseries or something to survive. Thanks for the consideration.

We are seeing an increased ICE presence in NYC - making it imperative that NYers KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. I wrote a comic with @mayor.nyc.gov @nycimmigrants.bsky.social @davidhahn.bsky.social @elllewrightart.bsky.social @tayloresposito.bsky.social to do that! DOWNLOAD: www.weteachnyc.org/resources/co...

Super useful. I figure a lot of us here in the Sky know this stuff already, but it might be handy to hand to parents, grandparents and pals who are less technically minded. www.librarian.net/NoToAI/

I'm reading @colsonwhitehead.com's "Harlem Shuffle" and it's having the same effect on me that all his novels seem to: He writes lightly and yet I feel a low-level dread that usually signals to me I'll be experiencing a panic attack somewhere in the near future. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/

1. Newer writers, just don't fucking use "AI" for anything, ever 2. How odd that being an established writer with a firm "no 'AI'" stance and ample pre-"AI" IP will become a definite competitive advantage over "new, hot, and possibly copyright compromised" deadline.com/2026/07/ai-q...

AI Questions Spoil Book & Movie Heat On 'Call Me, I'll Hide The Body' Novel

That screeching sound you heard from international publishers and film rights buyers was an abrupt application of the brakes after a fevered pursuit of the unpublished debut novel.

With "surveillance pricing," businesses have finally found something AI can do way, way, *way* better than people: price gouging. 1/

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

There’s a Blue-Collar Hollywood—and the Paramount Merger Will Kill It

Hollywood isn’t all glamour. It’s thousands of line workers. And a Paramount takeover of Warner will make their lives even more precarious.

Orchids revived, the corpse ambulant and a poetic ruined abbey. These are the news stories I want to read.

To be clear, we didn't *need* a Han Solo prequel. But if you had to make one... It should start with Han Solo already being best friends with Lando Calrissian. They are inseparable, in sync. But over the course of the movie, their friendship falls apart and Han finds a new best friend: Chewbacca.

Co-signing this. It's laughable how often I have to hold myself back from replying to emails from cons with "You're not 'inviting me to be a guest.' You don't charge guests."

Reminder that cons will charge artists this and then advertise them in their programs as 'guests' in the Artist Alley 🫠 The con system is broken, my friends

The Odyssey. I liked it!

Every so often I teach someone how to spin yarn on a spindle. And I always tell them that the first yarn you make will not be good yarn, and it's not meant to be, because right now you are not making wool into yarn, you're making yourself into a spinner.
