Very neat idea. I can also offer the alternate service of making a location more haunted. Is there a market for that?

A thread about being a human being, a good person, a union man (makes you a hero), and doing the right thing. Fuck AI. Fuck Capcom. All praise of Ben Diskin for standing on the correct principled ground.

fairly certain it wasn't anxiety that woke me up this morning at 3am; fairly certain it was Joe Hill's "My Father's Mask," whispering at me to do some writing alone in the dark

It is not impossible that the number of times I edited chapter one equals the number of chapters in my book.

FML. Nothing like applying for a fellowship & a few weeks later getting a newsletter from the funder celebrating ex-fellow who just published a book on the exact same topic. Gazumped! Back to the drawing board…(also BEGGING people to share what they’re working on & not just stealth publishπŸ™„)

Speaking of weird shitty AI bros; GenAI is not conscious. But like. Why do they want it to be so bad. Why do they want total dominion over something sapient that’ll do a bunch of unpaid labour for them at their whims to make them money. Oh wait lol

I love themed horror anthologiesβ€”and here’s a specific theme I’d never thought of before! Is it too early to call it a steal?
