Has anyone considered perhaps an infestation of mountweazels to deal with this whole generative AI issue?

I came up with a joke about Prometheus but it was too focused on his pecker

I came up with a joke about Narcissus, but upon deep reflection decided it was too self absorbed.

The books that seemed salvageable are all dried... ...and here's another Flash Flood Warning for Asbury Park!

WE ARE HIRING: Queer speculative fiction indie bookstore seeks 2-3 Booksellers and an Events Coordinator for long-term relationship in Uptown Asbury Park, NJ Must be really looking to build something that's going to last, not just a casual hook-up for free books, and definitely not a summer fling.

WHAT BOOK IS THIS? - THE SCENE: The FMC walks into a restaurant and sees the woman who's been built up as the It-Girl of the book, eating salad with her fingers rather than a fork, surrounded by adoring hangers on. #whatbookisthis

Is it magic? No, just science. What was once fantasy is become fact.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Happy Juneteenth! As a queer, mixed-race writer, I'll never stop filling my books with POC! @speculationpub.bsky.social @neonhemlock.bsky.social @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social

Some fantastic info and resources

@maybejed.bsky.social . . . so, a customer came into the bookstore today asking (for the second time) about Peckerwood, specifically if / when it will be back in print. Never one to just leave such things to chance, figured I'd ask: Will it?

What've y'all been up to? We made S L U T•C R O W N S with @spiritbored.bsky.social for her sapphic slasher #BodyCount

YES the author whose book you just devoured wants to hear from you how much you loved it, it changed you, your ego drowned upon its pages. #ICYMI

i always love when people tell me they like my work, genuinely if you like something someone has made you should tell them, and i am especially touched when someone tells me they teach something i wrote in their classroom. Next level thrill.

cozy@bimbotheory.bsky.social · 4mo ago

couldn't come up with better PR for transgenders than "underground transgender mafia successfully heisted 12 tonnes of Kitkats"

*giggles* Oh pardon me, let me just get some popcorn 🍿 —this is why 'Military Futures' will be the our first exhibit for the Museum of Genre Fiction ...hopefully at Info Age Science Center / Project Diana—

Some thoughts about writing stuff, in no particular order (this might be a long-ish thread): 1. When Old Man's War came out (2005), lots of people read it and assumed I was conservative, because of its subject matter, and sub-genre, me being a white dude from Ohio, and other various factors.

I made a fun bear head sticker for YOTM bookplate reasons and the bear has antlers with hands growing out of it and is not weird at all I'm very excited

just once i want video to pivot to me

Last two days of #transrightsreadathon and you can still donate and support!

Trans Rights Readathon@trreadathon.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Last year, our team got a little overwhelmed and our message about fundraising fell by the wayside. This year, we’ve added multiple ways to get involved! #transrightsreadathon #trr26 #booksky #transrightsarehumanrights

We love trans stories. We love reading them, sharing them, and yapping about them. We love getting recs and building aspirational TBRs. #transrightsreadathon (part 1 of 4)
