AI generated content of any kind undermines the credibility of whatever is being communicated
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

So I distracted myself from the immediate task but
I wrote a novel, y'all. I'm still super burned out and it was *agonizingly hard* to do and I had a lot of "I shouldn't have agreed, I am a fraud, all those books were flukes and my time is done"
But I fucking wrote a novel, y'all
FUCK YEAH

I did not intend to post a @gofundme.com on my birthday but life does life things.
Long story short [too late], I received a merit scholarship based on my precious high school and college performances, not on the merit of the career I've been in for the past 10 years.

I, for sure, just reread THE PRACTICE, THE HORIZON, AND THE CHAIN by Sofia Samatar. Would make a great feature.

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

There are situations where SF can communicate science - but to be effective that science must be part of the underlayer. You can improve the audience's understanding at an implicit level.
My favorite example: Lab B-15 by Nick Wolven. escapepod.org/2019/08/01/e...

If you would like to read my work but cannot afford to buy it or lack access to library resources for whatever reason, you can ask me for a copy. I'm pretty chill.
If you are a pirate as a personality trait, or because nobody's going to tell you what to do or whatever, I'm disappointed in you.

We managed to squeeze through and take care of the critical things about to kill us yesterday!
Can we do more than just survive today?
We need to pick up the pace if we're ever gonna get in a healthier situation than being stuck in this tent!
Anything helps! Thank you!
