Hey! I'm ash.

I make stuff, & get excited about other stuff.

Currently making ARG-adjacent audio fiction, the graphics & ephemera associated with them, & the occasional fan project, & doing a whole lot of yelling about other people's work.

I'm also the entity behind @lawofnames.com
Mostly had too many things to do today to do anything fun, but I /did/ get to do a little bit of work on the Dakota Gold game.

I think I have actually made the <<return>> macro work this time. I need to test it properly next week, and stylize the close button, but I //think// I've got that sorted.

I'm in full migraine mode now, it looks like.

BUT there are only 12 days till Botox, so it's hit way late, which is awesome.

Those 12 days do include Xmas, though, which sucks.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

"When it all began, the house had no name at all. It stood, perched and perilously alone, on a bit of land upraised like a clenched fist."

Casting for our epistolary haunted house anthology This Address Does Not Exist opens on Dec 22.

We'd like to take this time to introduce our writers.

This thread has some excellent sources for recipes.

Have another one.

This is my favorite source for Filipino recipes. Everything I've made from them so far has gotten husband approval : )

Whichever sales company or scam keeps calling me at 6 am really, really needs to stop. I’ve blocked every number so far but there keep being more.

The thing i’m making for my boyfriend for xmas can be summed up as “no plan survives first contact with the enemy.”

In this case, the enemy was first topology, then gold embroidery thread.

I’ve regrouped & we’re on track, but good lord. I hope it comes out to my satisfaction.

Stop uploading VAs voices ripped from audiodramas to character dot ai. It is theft and it is sick and creepy as fuck, and the environment destroying GenAI companies are profiting off our work because you are stealing it for them. Just stop.
🧵 If any of you are responsible for this, here's some advice:

This isn't how you honour creators. This is theft. And this isn't how you hone your creativity. This is theft.

ALSO. I am so fucking glad she’s finally having to deal with the consequences of being awful.

(I have realized my thoughts on individuality & the value thereof have undergone significant changes since my 20s. Have thought about it a lot, & feel it’s a good thing.)

Something I’m enjoying about Pluribus is that they’re letting the character who is indulging their every material desires be basically a decent dude. Like, yeah, he’s pretending to be James Bond, but he’s not being /gross/.

The past couple days have been reading This Address Does Not Exist scripts.

They are very, very good. And many very sad.

And all of them are going to need VAs.

Stay tuned for casting call info :)

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you
