Last day to grab these Asexual Spectrum books in bulk!

My new release, Walking the Knife's Edge is in it. Rarkin's asexual questioning, though also preoccupied with CPTSD, autism, trust issues, underdeveloped social skills, wielding a stun gun to contain monsters etc 😉

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Dan put himself down for all the chores in turn, particularly the ones no one liked doing. If he, who was technically in charge, was seen to be doing the dirty work, then everyone else was less likely to grumble about having to do it as well.

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

AI’s Invasive Species

The slop is winning.

Linnet flexed it cautiously. "Skin isn't broken, everything seems to work. I'm going to have a nasty bruise later, but I can go on for now."
