Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Happy birthday to my book, a messy little freak who will definitely bite you if given the opportunity.

WAXING OFF is a novella about the spectrum of human identity and how sometimes, you have to get a little feral to protect what's important.

Also, it's queer AF and there's KISSING ❤️

Book cover featuring a hand with red fingernails clutching a vivisected pomegranate, which is oozing a a thick pale ooze. The text reads: Waxing Off: A Novella by E.E.W. Christman.

It’s my birthday !!!!!

As a little birthday gift, it would mean the world if you could share my art 🥹❤️

Digital art of my original characters Jay (he/she) and Nathan (he/him)
It’s a little three panel comic strip of them making out. In the background you can see a snippet of Jay’s room.

Digital art of my original character Nathan (he/him) pulling the skin of his back apart to reveal robot parts mixing with muscles underneath

Digital art of my original characters Jay (he/she) and Nathan (he/him)
They are outside, resting in the shade on a sunny day. Jay is sitting down, looking up at Nate while Nate is standing up in front of her.

Digital art of a trans guy sitting on the floor, reading yaoi with a smile on his face and a nose bleed. There’s piles of bl mangas surrounding him. There’s text at the top of the image reading “fujoshi to male”

The cover of the book "Waxing Off" by E.E.W. Christman. It features a hand holding half of a pomegranate which leaks a white, opaque liquid.

The interior of the book "Waxing Off." The left page is mostly blank, save some book publishing information near the bottom of the page. On the right page, there is an illustration of a dishevelled figure casting a shadow which resembles a werewolf. Above them is the moon, which appears to be drooping downwards.

The interior of the book "Waxing Off." On the left page, there is a black ink splotch. On the right page, there is the introduction to chapter 9 of the book, with an illustration of wolves howling.

A page from the book "Waxing Off." A small, black-and-white image of a pomegranate is on the page, separating two blocks of text.

My stories were stolen for AI training, but I get no money or credit.

Every time you use AI to write an email, it's because you need me (and thousands of other people) to think for you.

This mean short stories and articles published in anthologies and collections aren't included b/c while the larger book has an ISBN or ASIN, the individual works don't. This also means works published in magazines and online that were pirated but don't have an ISBN or ASIN are also not included. 5/
