Not so local black webserial writer.
Author, Disabled, ND, Queer - I am who I am and I've got no spoons to deal with folks trying to debate my existence.

Do not bring that AI shit here. Go away. I will block you.

Infuriating to watch black and trans people warn folks about Newsom--JUST LIKE THEY WARNED FOLKS ABOUT TRUMP--and see everyone respond with "But he's a Democrat."

If you saw the creepy Ring Super Bowl commercial then you know they're manufacturing consent for a surveillance state (that serves ICE) by emotionally blackmailing us with our dogs' safety.

This flyer can be printed out and posted all over, or shared online. Get your $ back, fuck ICE.

The box has gathered dust for years. Moved with me from house to house unopened. I've told myself that I'll deal with the box of dolls last.

There are no more boxes left for me to use as a shield.

Dust and clatter I expect.

But there are no dolls in the box.

Just bones.

Of course I'm going to do a writing prompt. Of course I am.
Go to.
I'm waiting.

Why do assholes feel the need rag on indie creators for taking a while to make stuff? Typically, indie folks have MULTIPLE jobs and they have to work on their own thing in their free time. Demanding creators to rush stuff is just gonna make a worse final product, and you’ll just be mad about that.

Discord users get hacked/phished every other day and these jokers expect to effectively roll out ID and age verification? 🤣

I want all writers to be into writing as much like themselves as possible. I hate to see someone say writing's so good they wish they'd written it. You couldn't have, you're you, & they're them. That's the spirit of plagiarism behind AI. Believe in your capacity to create beauty unique to you.

By the way if you support the actions of this administration or ICE in any possible, feasible way, no matter how miniscule

You fucking make me sick

Fuck you, block me

It sometimes feels ludicrous to study literature when jackbooted thugs are murdering people in the streets and shipping innocent people to camps. But if I'm going to be an academic in such a moment, at least I get to study this.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

It is getting harder to see it these days, but I always hold on to this quote from Samwise in LOTR: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Also, check follower numbers and account creation dates. I’m having to block chaos agent accounts with 3 to 10 followers created right around the time of today’s murder.
Taking a closer look after a prior thread I deleted & something I’ve noticed more & more is that many of these agitating white Canadian accounts talking about “what Americans aren’t doing” have that weird AI lighting sheen on the faces of their avatars. IYKYK

Be mindful of whom you engage with yall

Look, Claire Obscur may be a good game and all, but I support it being stripped of all awards for using genAI. We cannot let game studios think they can get away with it.

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.
"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Writers, please don’t use genAI to create illustrations either. Support human artists.

If you like visual prompts, collecting oracle and tarot decks is a fantastic way to combine this support for art into your writing practice.
