Same. There's no excuse at this point. Substack's willingness to platform and help fund Nazis is well known.

Thread (and not just because I'm mentioned.) Buying direct from a small press maximizes the amount that goes to the creators. And, yeah, this is a good time to do that.

Still no. Those functions still rely on our dwindling resources to process, and if it's based on generative AI then it's still built on a foundation of stolen work.

It’s publication day for my short story collection, The Analog Cat! ⌚🐈

If you enjoy the kind of whimsical nonsense I post to social media, my fiction is pretty much the same thing but longer and with a plot.

The Costs of Instant Translation AI might soon rob us of the thrill and challenge of cross-cultural conversation.

I’ve always enjoyed stories by @huskyteer.co.uk but there’s such a back catalogue - it’s fantastic that so many will now all be in one place

I’m very much looking forward to this collection being released

Book cover spread featuring the back, spine, and front designed to look like a printed circuit board (PCB). The back has a large rectangular component for the book's description, and the front has a "cut in" banner component where a scrungled anthropomorphic cat with blue fur and darker blue stripes is standing. They have a robotic arm prosthetic illustrated in an almost "airbrushed" style, tatter ears and fur, and glowing green lenses that replace their eyes. Their tail is curling over the border of the banner and popping back up behind it again, giving it the look of a window cut into the cover. Circuit traces line the cover front to back, framing the various elements. Text on the front and spine read: "The Analog Cat and other animals", "Alice Dryden", and the back has the Argyll Productions logo present as well as a placeholder space for an ISBN.

This was an absolute joy to create, thank you again for the very on-brand commission!! I love robots/cyborgs of all stripes, and an excuse to perpetrate some skeuomorphic design. πŸ’™

I took advantage of @bookshop.org’s anti-Prime sale. I ordered @tkingfisher.com’s pre-order books and some other books I’d been meaning to pick up. Quite a boon that even pre-order books got free shipping.

A dramatic urban scene showing a werewolf in torn shorts confronting a tense-looking man and woman in a desolate street. Tall buildings surround them, with graffiti, a streetlight, and a sidewalk billboard bearing a poster of the werewolf. Review quotes praise the series as β€œa remarkable urban fantasy debut” and β€œthe werewolf-teenage ghost-activism novel you didn’t know you needed.” Cover art is credited to Ilya Royz and cover design to Christine Foltzer.
