I finally mustered the courage to chase my dreams, to go back to grad school, to truly embrace being a writer and artist. And now? Now I'm staring down the barrel of AI-generated books flooding the market, potentially stealing the very livelihood I'm fighting for. #writer

I'm a speculative fiction writer, and I just found out some authors are celebrated for their AI-written books. My jaw is still on the floor. I seriously thought publishers would blacklist that stuff, no questions asked. Turns out: nope. Feeling totally sick to my stomach. What even is happening?!

I'm looking to connect with others who write speculative fiction. Where you at? #speculativefiction

My next sci-fi villain is a reality TV star who accidentally becomes president of a galactic federation. His catchphrase? "Believe me, we have the best space lasers. Everyone agrees."

Loving this planet isn’t a hobby, it’s survival. Greta’s been kidnapped, and the world feels broken and unbearable. I can’t focus on my work while ICE and LAPD tear gas and shoot innocents in LA. Meanwhile, people post manicures and garden parties. We need her back. We need justice. FREE GRETA!

Writers! POV help? My novel’s an ensemble, fast-paced, emotional chaos (betrayals, reveals, biopunk, found fam). Leaning 3rd limited w/ rotating POVs but sometimes that feels jarring (esp as a Deaf reader). Do readers vibe w/ that? Want it layered + clear.

Drafted 3,000 words. Deleted 3,001. Writing: the ultimate act of self-betrayal, just with snacks.

Reviewing the manuscript like, "We should rework that... oh, let's add that citation..and this other one...and here's a link I found that could be interesting...and this probably needs expansion.." and realizing, oh 😐, I'm the first author, that's on me. Cool. cool.

Things I Google & Wonder as a Sci-Fi Writer:
-How fast would I fall if I tripped on Mars?
-Can you get space herpes from a poorly sterilized alien probe?
-How do you seduce a six-eyed jelly diplomat without triggering intergalactic war?
-Is it unethical to flirt with a sentient nebula?

Hot take: Maybe the Taylor Swift hate comes from her being everything women are told not to be? Like, owning her story, being unapologetically herself, and turning tough stuff into strength for everyone to see. Just a thought.

Leave your dog in a hot car? You'll meet me. Recording starts now. Quick return? Unpleasant chat. Delay? Broken window, felony charge, vet visit. 75°F turns deadly fast, even cracked windows. Run AC or leave them home. Don't test me.

Taylor Swift now has total creative control of her music.
She is everything this nation should be: powerful, principled, self-made, and unbothered. Trump is out here being the Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.
I know a real leader when I see one. And her name sure as hell ain't Donald. 👑

I'm writing a sci-fi story that’s part climatepunk fable, part punk-rock found-family saga: sharp sarcasm and stubborn joy. Think Firefly crash-landing in Annihilation, rebuilt by Becky Chambers and N.K. Jemisin...but with jokes.

Painting for a decade, never used palette knives. I had a bazillion of them, but brushes were more my thing. Tried palette knives with oil paint yesterday for the 1st time & now I might never touch a brush again. The textures, the freedom, the chaos: I’m OBSESSED.
