You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Agatha Christie
Chelsea, London, where she lived during the late 20s.
A historical oil painting portrait of Mary Anning (1799–1847), the pioneering British fossil hunter, paleontologist, and self-taught scientist from Lyme Regis, Dorset, England. Painted by B. J. Donne in the 19th century (posthumous or based on contemporary sketches), it depicts her standing outdoors on a rocky coastal shore under a dramatic, stormy sky with dark clouds and a glimpse of the sea and distant cliffs in the background. She wears a long, dark green cloak with a hood, a red neck scarf, and a wide-brimmed bonnet tied under her chin. In her gloved right hand she holds a geological hammer (her iconic tool), and a small wicker basket hangs from her left arm, likely for carrying fossils. A loyal black-and-white dog (possibly her famous companion Tray) lies curled at her feet on the rocks. Mary Anning stands with a calm, resolute expression, gazing slightly upward and to the side, conveying quiet determination and intelligence. The painting's muted tones and romantic style emphasize her as a lone figure in a rugged, fossil-rich landscape, symbolizing her groundbreaking contributions to early paleontology despite societal barriers as a working-class woman.
Fossil collector & self-taught paleontologist Mary Anning's discoveries revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric life.
"The greatest fossilist the world ever knew," she made her finds in the Jurassic marine fossil beds along the cliffs of Lyme Regis (UK). She died #OTD in 1847. #WomenInSTEM

Are you writing contemporary #romance? A very interesting article here about current #publishing trends. path2pub.wordpress.com/2026/03/02/p... #writingcommunity
Yeah... Head's up to creatives: there are A LOT of scams targeting us right now (due to the recent deluge of AI-prompters calling themselves "writers," "authors," "artists," etc.). You've probably been dealing with this for a while, atp. If not, now you know! Eyes up!
My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.

Once, a long time ago. It definitely has a strange feel about it
And near to where I live 😊
Great news 🙂
Bless her. Hope she is doing well, now
We close our #WriterWednesday blog crawl and turn't tragedians' triumph with our credo: feed an author, leave a review.
Happens every time; well maybe not the bagpipes 😆
1. Creativity us a lot like a cat, 2. Sometimes it comes when you call it. 3. Many times it does not. 4. You can’t force it. The harder you try, the faster and further creativity runs from you. 5. So, all you can do is nurture your creativity, feed it, and wait for it to come to you. 6. And it always comes. . . sooner or later. So welcome it . . . even if it’s in the middle of the night.
Another cunning AI #scam. Apparently my book will feature alongside icons like this - although not sure who this Margaret Atwood is supposed to be. Beware book clubs making outrageous claims. #booklovers #authorlife
Sorry to hear that, from a fellow sufferer.

Happy Caturday, and Valentine's Day from Twilight

Thanks. Good luck to you both, too.
It's horrible. Someone gave me a one star review recently which hurt
So sorry to read this. Authors should be supporting each other, not sabotaging. Hope you get lots of 5-star reviews to balance this. Best of luck x
Needed to see this today, thank you. Going through some very difficult family health stuff at the moment. Stopped writing. But now I am making myself sit down every day and write at least one paragraph.
The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1
The human took an old rug out of the closet today and the kittens had a grand time, pretending to fly it round the fort. (The human claims it's too dirty to get off the ground.) Our goodnight hugs go out to everyone who wishes they had their own magic carpet to fly away on...🧚

He was the most wanted man in the country. She was a Pinkerton detective and she wanted him more than anyone else.
