I will not be using the Human Authored mark on any of my books.
Mainly because these people who are so-called champions of human art are using AI.
Jesus, shield me against hypocrisy.
Very much this.
If people do not fight to preserve literature and the arts capitalists will make them disappear.
You're a.. *check notes*... wunner!
You don't need to fool me, Premee. We're good.
Good thing no one anywhere ever said you can "only" be a writer/filmmaker if you read/watch movies! The advice is to frequently and thoughtfully engage with your art form of choice. If that upsets someone, too bad? People are also upset that vaccines are real and I don't care about them either
Establishment Dems would rather twist themselves into knots and come up with convoluted policies than to simply fight for universal provision of public goods for all.
Ramadan Market is an auction of signed books and other offers from many participating authors (including me with three signed copies of RAKESFALL!) organized by Lit for Lebanon and others. Each book sold feeds a family in Lebanon this Ramadan! www.32auctions.com/ramadanmarket

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

this made me cackle all the way through
A book cover with the title “Children of Owl” and a girl looking up at a mountain with an owl boy prominent in the background.
CHILDREN OF OWL HAS A COVER!!!! With art by Abigail Rajunov, who also illustrated 25 pages of comics in the book. It was an honor to work with her; I couldn’t be happier!! 🥹💕
This dude is the bad guy in every single movie made about high school ever
It's in Ireland?
Also, I just noticed the new handle. 🤘🤘🤘
I know I came into this backwards, hearing Mdou Moctar because of Takaat, which is basically his band doing their own thing. But Takaat (which means noise) is incredible too.

REVEAL IS TOMORROW!!!!
And if you're already on Bandcamp for Bandcamp Friday, also pick up Mdou Moctar's Funeral for Justice. His always amazing interpretations of Tuareg guitar from the Sahel are especially great on this one.

It's Bandcamp Friday again!
So buy To Resist the Enemies of the Sun, Palestinian atmospheric black metal from the amazing one-man band Zalaam. It's incredible.

The Israeli regime is fascist and genocidal. The population supports the regime's actions at more than 80% in most polls. You don't have to argue with people online when these are facts.
"Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor..."
Too bad there's no opposition party that could relentlessly press the case against war.
Perhaps the guests could include former enlisted military members pointing out the bullshit. Perhaps folks trapped in countries across the world because the State Dept cannot plan could be asked to call in... Perhaps Iranians who oppose the war could be featured...
me, emailing my agent in all-caps: THEY WILL RUE THE DAY
Me in my first year of working with my agent: Um, Mr. Curry, I have a question? If that's all right? But if not then don't worry about it. Really! I know you're super busy. If you're able to get back to me with --
Me now:
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.
The next Bandcamp Friday of 2026 is this Friday, March 6th. From midnight to midnight PDT, we'll waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists and labels.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Imagine being so bad at everything you turn Anthropic into the sympathetic figure, absolutely historic buttfumble artists
“if you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking
