I'm in the final stretch before major trans gender-affirming surgery, and any book sales will be so helpful in being able to afford this all! Direct sales through TF Publishing are best, but anything will be so beneficial. Please consider purchasing, signing up to Patreon, or sharing this thread.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

I know all the various defenses of piracy, and can agree with some of them (preservation is important!) but when it comes to books, there really ain't any excuse I buy. More than any other medium, authors directly rely on royalties from purchases. Every purchase gets them income, even from big pubs.
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

I get the feeling this is going to be a pretty nasty storm season.
It's 3pm and as dark as night with the current storm, with 1cm sized hail hammering the roof. Hail 8cm big was recorded about 30kms away from me yesterday.

One thing I'm really excited about is bringing out stories that really push boundaries on what is "acceptable" and "safe". Some of the stories in production are certainly doing this, and I'm really hopeful to see a lot more submissions come in like this when we're opening again in a couple of weeks.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

FNAF/Scott Cawthon should not be supported in any way.
Don't buy/stream his games, give money to the franchise, watch the movies, etc.
He uses his gains FROM FNAF to support harmful legislature and candidates on the right.
Which is bad, yes? Stop supporting him. He deserves nothing.

That has to be a new one.
Received an obvious scam email to market one of my novels to reach "14,000 eager horror readers".
One problem. I did not write the novel they want to promote.

They say that blood is thicker than water, but they also say you can’t choose your family. These twelve authors have something to say about both. Grab "Tales from the Guild: Blood and Water" from the @furrywritersguild.bsky.social at fenrispublishing.com/product.php?...

First new words written today in a few weeks. Slowly going to be getting back into the swing of things, especially when I'm back home on the weekend.

I'm very much looking forward to getting back home on the weekend, mainly so I can have a comfortable bed again. Still haven't had an uninterrupted night of sleep since surgery.

Still a few days left to get this incredible bundle of 32 books of trans fiction by trans authors. You'll be helping a lot of authors and getting some very good books by supporting this bundle, including my trans dragon tale, Dragon's Soul.

Discharged from hospital and back into the apartment we've rented for a couple of weeks. So grateful to all the nurses at the hospital - now it's time for the recovery period without them!

Made a lot of progress today, including having most of the dressings and bandages removed.
Lots more tears shed.
Still expected to be discharged from hospital tomorrow.
I can't put it into words just how positive this has been already. I feel complete.
