Hello to all new follows!🖖

Re-introduction time—
I'm Jeannie, I write nearly-always-queer stories of fantasy, SciFi, and horror, & my darlings are often the most tender, open-hearted saps that ever fought eldrich beings and bled forbidden magics.

Accordingly: poly horromantasy coming late 2025 🌈🚀💫

Do it.

Search your name.

Take their money.

It’s yours anyway.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I can recommend Qobuz bc *unrolls bullet point list that I was forced to make but am quite glad for* Same price, you can migrate your song library, better sound quality, high pay for musicians, no ICE, & no AI weapons research funding 🤗

Y'all understand that "Men Are Inherently Evil" is TERF rhetoric, right?

It's important that you understand that

I am so sick of getting comments like about my sexuality.

It’s transphobic, homophobic, and misogynistic and I’ve tolerated a LOT of this kind of attitude from other queer and trans people. Utterly ridiculous.

Someone quote posting me talking about being transhet saying “Incomprehensible: to depart the Gender of Atrocity only to bend over for it afterwards.”

ALWAYS get your spells from a reliable source, folks!!

Micro SF/F by O. Westin @microsff.com · May 22

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.

There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.

"Curious. What ritual is this?"

"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"

"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

Rektor-Skinner-Meme mit Dirk Wiese (SPD):

Nachdenklich: „Haben wir die Arbeiterklasse und unsere Werte verraten als wir der Bürgergeldreform zugestimmt haben?“

Entschlossen: „Nein, es ist gerecht, Arbeitslose zu drangsalieren, denn wer nicht arbeitet, gehört nicht zur Arbeiterklasse.“

Paperback interior formatted (5 x 8 with 13 point font bc it’s a smol novel and it’s hard to format the spine if it’s too thin, plus I can’t handle tiny font so I don’t do that anymore)

Tomorrow I’ll do the paperback cover (already designed—just need to fit to size).

Progress!

Just completed FINAL EDITS for Disposable Magic & made my epub. Huge thanks to my editor & marine biology fact-checker @amphipodgirl.bsky.social

November is looking good for launch once I format the paperback.

Cephalopod-on-cephalopod romance with trans themes & ecoterrorism, coming your way soon!

Disposable Magic by Dani Finn, showing a large octopus and a tiny one looking at each other in an underwater bubble with black ooze dripping down on them from above.

Ye olde two-edged sword, sigh ...but I gotta say threads like this one do a lot of good in the food-for-thought department, letting people think. It was a pleasure to read (and not only bc Death of the Author has had me foaming at the mouth for years when discussing literature haha) Thank you!

The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”

OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT

GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

I find it stressful bc this understanding gap is being used over and over to steer people in hateful political directions ...yeah, it's only books, but people's reading of those stories sometimes lays bare vulnerabilities an inch or a mile wide and ...aaaah
