The reason is to give the second pen name extra wings to fly with.

Yesterday I submitted a manuscript under the second pen name. That was the actual reason I created an email account & a social media account. It's the story set in 1982, rewritten and given a new plot.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

Lot's of discussions on AI today.
But maybe it could help generate ideas for stories? I have several notebooks filled with ideas. Ideas are not the problem. It's writing a great story that takes time.
But maybe it could be used to make an outline of the story from an idea?
Nope. Hell no.

Thank you. 🩷

Deep-sea robots will search for source of mysterious ‘dark oxygen’ Scientists have launched a fresh effort to find out what could be producing oxygen at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Deep-sea robots hunting for "dark oxygen," large amounts of the gas from a region in the ocean that's too deep for sunlight to power photosynthesis. The team have developed a suite of instruments that they’ll use to probe the sea floor.

Seconding this. Geocities was so popular that they couldn't keep up with demand at first.

LiveJournal had to close off applications for a year because folks overwhelmed them

I've commissioned art a couple of times from the first artist. They work pretty fast and the art is always so pretty.

RIP Bruce Leung, veteran martial arts actor. He's widely known as The Beast in Kungfu Hustle (2004). His first memorable role for me was Alex Man's pupil in The Legendary Fox (1981).

I’m reading @karenhao.bsky.social’s Empire of AI and I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand the modern world. ChatGPT has no goddamn place in a sustainable world.

The true secret to my long career: As a midlist writer hanging on to my career one book at a time, I can only control the work I do, not outcomes.
So I work: Drafting Novel W while waiting for edit notes on Novel F. When edits & draft are done, I'll return to the half finished & overdue Novel L.

I had no idea the material conditions in Iran had degraded so badly. As the speaker, Prof Fatemeh Shams explains later, these are explosive, borderline revolutionary conditions, much more serious than previous rounds of mass protest

Tumblr post by serialphemera "Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant denceny. The idea you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before." With 20,650 notes
