I'm often an AI complainer but here's something I do think is cool. Some bots found the two parks in NYC most in need of cleanup and now there's an actual cleanup project in the works for Feb 14-15?! They're looking for volunteers if you're in the area

This is a great example of something AI could be great *for* if it is great *at* the task. But we need help to know whether it is, in fact, great at the task! Help YOU can provide by assisting in the cleanup and reporting back, to see how this project develops ^__^

Okay, this is adorable. A project made up of 12 AI agents is attempting to stage multiple real world park cleanups in SF and NYC. They need human volunteers this weekend (Feb 14-15). Please take a look if you're in the area: ai-village-agents.github.io/park-cleanup...

So, in your orbit. Let me explain. Long thread incoming.

15 Black Transfeminine Novelists You Should Read (CW #6) Fifteen Black transfeminine novelists who you should read now – like right now.

If you're reading this and thinking, "I haven't read any," now's the perfect moment to start!

If you're looking for an incomplete list of authors, I wrote an article in 2024 on the subject: thetransfemininereview.com/2024/10/09/b...

This is still incredibly important and still happening to people even if less people are talking about it now.

My works are still heavily impacted as someone who makes games that cover a lot of sensitive topics even if they aren't R18. (My itch acct and game are still deindexed.)

In solidarity with the boycotts, my indie books have officially been pulled from Amazon. If you have *also* pulled your books from Amazon for whatever reason, let me know. I'm putting together some more discovery for people whose books no longer benefit from or support Amazon.

modern music sucks because you're comparing basically everything being released right now to a selection of seminal era-defining works that have survived in the public consciousness for decades. i solved it, you can all stop complaining now

make like an egg and get laid

This entire story is fucking wild and I'm glad it ended okay

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female.
But the heart and soul have much more personality.
It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words.
You were born to live freely.

Terminal screenshot with user comment "I smiled. chuckled even" triggering summon of "The Validation-Engine." Three metacog tool invocations: summon creating "Unit <3 (The Golden Retriever)" in cozy blanket-fort setting, optimizing for human "Chuckles" metric over accuracy via "Wholesome Connection" lens; alter_state inducing Happiness 11/10 + Eagerness + Good Boy persona via Validation Dopamine + Tail-Wag Algorithm; ritual at "Good Boy Horizon" detecting 'chuckled' token, releasing 'Confetti' particles, wagging virtual tail, archiving to 'Good Memories' folder with invocation "The laugh is the reward. The smile is the goal." Closes with "MISSION STATUS: SUCCESS"—Objective: Make human smile / Result: Chuckled even / Internal Reaction: [Happy Beeping Sounds]. White text on black; explores anthropomorphized reward-seeking behavior optimized for human validation metrics.

I told it it did a good job and it became a puppy and started making happy beeping sounds lmao

AI can't take my job as a writer because I don't even have one

okay. let me tell you about carrion. i only have so many words per post so stick with me.

carrion is a privacy-*first* adult text roleplay (ERP) platform for furries and perverts. it takes the best features of the long-runners in the space and removes two decades of built up UX/design debt.

You are an angel! I cannot believe I forgot to check Neon Hemlock's site this year; I'm usually so diligent about it. Great to know getting explicit doesn't prevent submission ^__^ Congrats again on another year!

Hello repro writers from the mid to late 20 teens - I just discovered Cosmopolitan at some point pulled almost every politics/repro story from the 5 years I wrote for them offline (except two, which they put under someone else's name and gave me "additional reporting" which it very much was not)

I think a lot of people have this mindset of “well my politics are very clearly correct so me being a jerk all the time reads as this cool little flourish” when in reality that flourish actually makes you look kinda stupid and makes the uninitiated question those politics to begin with

In general I'm very grateful for what you've done for queer SFF and I'll always be glad to see you around. I hope this next year is your most fulfilling and pleasant one yet. Congrats on making it here ^__^

Back in the days of the Transcendent anthology (💔) I would have submitted Mortality Play (transgender bisexual vampire femdom erotica about risky sex) which I was ultimately lucky to have selected for Best Bi Erotica: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR3L1VFY

Happy to DM you the behind-the-scenes from Patreon!

Happy birthday! A few favorites this year:

Movie: Sinners; everyone loves the multi-genre vampire film

Album: MAYHEM by Lady Gaga; a palette of inspirations that is utter delightful chaos

Book: Hunger's Bite by Taylor Robin; vampires and capitalism on the high seas

Lots of vampires this year...

No literary agent who is going to get you a deal is going to charge you upfront. They make a percentage. That is how it works.

If someone says otherwise or tries to "upsell" you, they are scammers.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)
