Katsael's are subtle, physically, but in Aether-vision, imagine a seizure-inducing mass of flickering rainbow static launching at you and unraveling all your DNA. Starfall starts with cussing like a sailor and it keeps escalating until Hell's frozen over. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #fanfiction

They had no qualms about mouthing off to Krile. They still had not forgiven her and probably wouldn’t for a long time. “Believe it or not, you’re one of the few people left in Creation who still has the gall to nag me.” “It’s unsanitary, Katsael!” she shook her head. “And you were supposed to meet Thancred and-” “That was your cue to leave it.” The Au Ra growled through grit teeth. Their claws were flexing and twitching in time with their tail. Krile simply clammed up, frowned, and went back to her office. Their aether and dynamis were still unstable months later, and Y'shtola’s eyes widened at the sudden tangled mass of colorful noise that was invisible to everyone else. She broke in to defuse them.“THAT. HURT. YOU. MOTHER. FUCKING. SACK. OF. CAMEL. SHIT.” Violet screeched at Ancano. Each word was a wisp that made a dull ‘CRACK!’ across the Thalmor’s forehead to keep him stunned and clutching his forehead. ‘And she still has that mouth.’ Kaidan groaned, leaned against the wall, and tried not to draw attention to his snickering. His ribs jolted pain up his side with every little shake of air. ‘She’s still Starfall.’ Her roar brought several pieces of the ceiling down. “IIZ WULD!” Before Ancano could recover and back away from her and the Eye of Magnus, Starfall was already in his face, and then he was hit by an avalanche and crushed. There wasn’t even any air or time to scream.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Technical question! What's your favorite way to indicate anger in a character? Do they yell? Or go silent? Tense their shoulders? Grind their teeth? Does it vary for different characters? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Shit, I'd save even more time because I'd no longer be compelled to hack apart the front-end to your website and delete your user-hostile flashing/begging/following/obstructing AI buttons out of spite, and I could actually just you know... WORK.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Screencap of a social media post by: kavishj611 All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question: If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other Al tool? Imagine Al was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give it up?

Making the serious consideration of taking my Steam Deck to work so I can jump right into Mistria 1.0 when it unlocks in 2 hours. (It's finals week, everyone's already done and gone, I've finally finished my 1.6 years long project and I need a break, and no one will be there.) #blackskygamers

Screenshot from Fields of Mistria: The village has gathered in a cozy tavern for D&D game night and Maple (Black girl wearing a purple and white princess dress and white beaded braids) is the DM. She says, "Lord Hayword, I'll allow it, but this had better lead to some betrayal MOST foul."

There are white folk out there gleefully saying they use ai in research but not in prose and they don’t get pushback But let a new black writer write anything… This is about white folks thinking Black people aren’t intelligent, i need you to understand this

Yes, I am aware of the inspiration behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit?! (We don't run over CEOs with steamrollers and then douse in turpentine anymore and now look where we are.)

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d ago

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Accessibility Awareness@a11yawareness.bsky.social · 3d ago

Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.
