The market alone cannot sustain good literature, and no literature will survive the collapse of the biosphere, something thinkable within generations. Not many art discussions, awards, takes will help us escape the machine, but more of them should stick in the gears, and fewer should grease them.

I was inspired to do a book #bookreview graphic by another post for the wonderful dark fantasy I just finished.

Born of Scourge by @earlronove.bsky.social go check it out!
Book review graphic- background of grey wispy clouds across pinky orange sky, text of BOOK REVIEW in glowing text at the top, the book cover in a white frame and review text of 'how much did I love this book? Let's just say I didn't want it to end. It was dark and brooding but also sweet and at the same time 10/10 5 ☆s'

New #BookReview!

Today on the blog I have YA lunarpunk sci-fantasy adventure, The Secret of the Sapphire Sentinel by @jendiagammon.bsky.social — a sequel I've very much been looking forward to, and it didn't disappoint.

The absolute audacity to accuse people who don't use AI of being lazy 👀

Imagining accusing the people who DON’T use this garbage of laziness. Fucking amazing.
calling33.bsky.social
Yep I have to be careful of that or I could invoke the rabbit hole and then there's my writing session gone.
calling33.bsky.social
Fair enough. For me, it has to instrumental background music. Anything with words and I get distracted.
calling33.bsky.social
Fun fact about me as a writer: I definitely get more written with music than silence.

I'm seeing so many more posts with images without ALT text and I just want to shake folks.

I get that sometimes it slips or sometimes the spoons aren't there, but all the time? Every single image y'all post? C'mon.

Stop being inaccessible!
Use ALT text!

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Patreon? Signing on as a patron is probably the best way to help keep me afloat as a fabric artist, writer and human being. My goal for the weekend is to get one new patron.

Welp he's now puked *four* times and still hasn't been able to poop so we're calling emergency vets and my spouse is going to take him in

Great times

Anyway now would be a cool time to toss some money at my Ko-fi, and I might open some emergency murder commission slaughts later today

My position on A.I art is that I will not be promoting it or sharing it, as it is the death of creativity and entire industries. The books I share and talk about showcase the talent of real people, for those that enjoy it and are inspired by it.
