A project I cleared my schedule for is taking some time to get off the ground, so I’m once again open for contract work. Need a writer/editor/localizer? Let me make your women angrier and your bisexuals more chaotic.

This is literally how Shakespeare should be performed. They’re approachable comedies/tragedies that got old

Last chance to add Quarantine before it’s gone!

call me when the robot can do my dishes and laundry for me and put them all away in the correct drawers/cabinets/closets without my input. that would give me more time to write, the thing AI keeps trying to do (poorly) for me instead.

The ways I have hear people pronounce “Potomac” will shock you

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

Looks like they used AI to send that response

Aysha 🔜 Cancon @ayshaufarah.bsky.social · 1d

i came here to say "your mom's right" and then saw i already said it back when you posted the tweet

Aysha 🔜 Cancon @ayshaufarah.bsky.social · 1d

a good sign about the adoption of AI is that as soon as you ask people to pay for it, they stop using it. so perhaps not as inevitable as we're all constantly being told
