Hey there, Bluesky! I'm Blackbird, a Brazilian ace/demiromantic web serial author and translator. I ramble about my characters, meme, bitch about life and occasionally have opinions™️. I also co-host #LateNightWrite every other Monday night! You can learn a bit more about my work in the replies.👇

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

I like the process of writing something and seeing all the elements come together as I write. I also like putting my characters’ experience onto paper, and fleshing out their angst gives me joy 😌👌
(I swear they get happy days. Honest!!)

Alright folks! #LateNightWrite tonight is gonna be just this. Because things have been shit for a while and it's good to remind ourselves of what good has come of our creative endeavors. Be it things we learned, friendships forged, the joy of creating itself... what are you thankful for?

#LateNightWrite I would not be where I am without the people around me. So many people have taken a chance on me, my books, my weirdness, and sometimes I wonder why. But I'm so grateful. Even if this will never be a full time gig for me, I hope my work makes the world better somehow.

I've been creative as long as I can remember, and being able to use the written word to express what can't otherwise be expressed has been a balm for my mental health, and sharing my words with others is more healing than I'd anticipated. I will be heard, dammit.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

One of the best aspects of writing is the connections I've made. Some of my closest friends are people I've met through comics, or crossed paths with at a convention, or became mutuals on social media. Beyond that, the connection my stories have with people who read them. 🧵

AI is ruining my life and the lives of pretty much everyone I care about and we're way too far past the point of being lenient because 'maybe they don't know better'. I'm not screaming any louder for your fucking benefit. I'm too damn busy failing to keep my head above water.

Let me tell you something... If I can't fucking *respect you*, we can't be friends. And shilling AI is one of the quickest fucking ways I'll lose every ounce of respect for someone. Simple as.

The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue
