(I just think that if more dudes had been in the parts of fandom where people were reporting embodied, hallucinatory interactions with characters as real on the astral plane those dudes would be hyper aware that their feelings that insist AI is sentient are just a personal horniness problem)

I somehow lost my blog post about English titles in the move, and people keep asking, so here it is: refreshed, revamped, even more irritable. Never get a title in your histrom wrong again!
Enter Title Here — KJ Charles
I am fed up of seeing British-set historical romances that mess up with titles. Here is a briefish guide to getting it right.

However, "but what if they're Autistic?” is not that. It's either saying that some folks should get a free pass regardless of the impact of their behavior, or it's saying that Autistic people can't treat others with respect and so it's discriminatory to expect it of them. Both are gross, and false.
Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.
People writing Yi City fic where "Songxiao could have had a good ending if they'd just killed Xue Yang" are operating fundamentally counter to the themes I like in Yi City: care, justice, and altruism changed Xue Yang to the core, but it came too late to save them. Grief and guilt will destroy you.
Fun little soul swap for mdzs reverse bigbang! Fic is by @huai3angs.bsky.social ❤️ #mdzs #MDZSRBB26 archiveofourown.org/works/916620...
I finished my #dollyparton piece. Dolly's passing hit me more than celebrity deaths usually do. I used to sing her songs growing up and she used her wealth and influence to make the world a better place and I know she will be missed. #fanart #coloredpencilportrait #mixedmedia

I also highly recommend @kaytiburt.bsky.social's reporting on the AI in fic situation! We've put it in front of the paywall, so I hope lots more folks give it a read or listen:

WELL. If you wondered why I had zero things to say about the NYT piece on the HR AI fic situation last month...I had zero things to say publicly then. 🥲 Thank you to everyone who discussed this situation with me and read a draft of this. I tried my best to illustrate these longstanding dynamics:

(little side story/prequel from my current wip that i may or may not ever finish) usually, wumuti believes in intrinsic motivation. doing a thing well should be its own reward. she's good at teaching this way, letting haru build up confidence and pride in his accomplishments.
Sweet baby Jesus. "Chat GPT can tell me what I read yesterday and interpret it for me, except sometimes it just makes shit up, but that's still great! Imagine how much time and effort I save by not having to comprehend words or meaning!"
