three figures walk down the street

a man sits on the street, listening to headphones

Midnight. A light flickers on in the darkness. Coils of smoke hang in the projector's glow. The movie is about to begin, and the theater waits in breathless silence.

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'

'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'

'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'

the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.

like. *hate* art. deeply.

The people who refused to believe us when we warned them loudly and repeatedly that fascism was coming now refuse to believe they and their leaders have assimilated into it.

so when you…

• force this tech on most everyone

• block it from acknowledging trans people even exist

• remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody

…it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

Really proud to say we’ll be premiering a brand new preservation of the long-unseen original cut of BLONDE DEATH — every single video release of the movie has been censored — done by TAPE from videomaker James Robert Baker’s personal copy.

68. Negative Space by B. R. Yeager is a great fuckin book not enough people have read.

(the post is more of a writer realizing in real time that worldbuilding doesn’t matter but the title is killing me)

You know, Omelas has pretty shit world building.

If Gandalf didn’t want Frodo to put on the ring he shouldn’t have called it “quite cool” when he gave it to him

5. This is the lukewarmest of takes for my readership, but: if people of the "ew no, never horror" crowd actually read and watched some of it and then processed their discomfort, they would handle real life stuff a lot better instead of lashing out at every media that isn't high fructose corn syrup.

45. I'm so appreciative of the people who try to drive attention toward me, Hailey Piper, Eve Harms, and other trans fem authors, but saying "READ MORE TRANS WOMEN" makes our books feel like morality homework, so you can just, you know, recommend us normally.

2. King from the 70s through the 90s is a pretty significant figure in American literature, way beyond his pulp success and airport novel fame. He touched something about suburbia and small-town life that really resonated.

13. Horror conversations I’m utterly bored of:
“Elevated.”
“I’m tired of grief/trauma horror.”
“How many times do we need a (insert Dracula, Frankenstein, whatever) story?”
“It’s not horror because it’s not scary.”
“Best of” lists
“But this doesn’t tell survivors there’s hope.”

I feel we need to remind everyone that this all started just a few days ago, we haven't even been calling for a week and they're already at the "Hanging up because they can't take it anymore" stage.
Keep calling
