My story is up! Thank you, @mrbullbull.bsky.social
(It has potentially upsetting content)
I loved this when I first read it. Spooky and gorgeously written.

This is devastating with not a single wasted word.
My fishies have arrived!! Love to @librelit.bsky.social
for publishing this weird, creepy, exposing little story. π
Ahhh! I love this one so much, so thrilled it's been published. Weird and creepy and wonderful π
I got the feeling that heβd mostly heard of Monty Python. He didnβt seem to know what I meant when I said TG had created the animations
I know, right? Are we losing Brazil to the detritus of time? Itβs still available to stream in some places, I just checked. Maybe heβs just not into film.
Question: Have you heard of Terry Gilliam?
I ask because this weekend I met a man, maybe in his early 30s, very culturally literate, British, who'd never heard of him or any of his films. He knew Monty Python, but that's it.
It kind of freaked me out.
Just FYI: If you follow me, and I check your profile out and you've posted a ton of AI product images, I will never follow you back.
How fascinating, I had no idea that was a thing in the UK.
Hah, thank you! I just did. :D
Oh, this one is exquisite!
I absolutely love vivid and detailed descriptions of food in fiction.
Heya, my queer post-apocalyptic adventure will be published in spring 2026 by @ninestarpress.bsky.social ilanamiral.com/books/the-bl...
Iβm with you
Which is more depressing? Going to Letterboxd and seeing an objectively awful film with majority positive reviews or seeing a brilliant film with mostly negative reviews?

Just received my final book cover art from Jana Heidersdorf (@checanty.bsky.social) and omg omg omg. I can't share it yet, but I'm giving up my entire morning to just staring at it. π€©π€©π€©
Iβm filling out a giant government form by hand like itβs 1980 and learning that when I write in all caps my handwriting looks like a serial killerβs.

Ahhh! Hello. β€οΈ
The idea of read a novel or short story or poem or any creative writing generated by AI makes me feel physically sick. I don't care if it's "good". It would be dead. A dead thing with no energy or ideas behind it. Fiction is communication between humans. AI product is nothing.
