I recently came across my first drawing for this story in an old sketchbook. I scanned it and colored it for fun.
Here's the only "The Adventures of Thing Thing: The Blue Cheese Affair" concept art (2009)

StoryBundle's In Translation bundle to benefit Global Voices Lingua: Interview
My primary goal was that the bundle be representative of our broader world, without a focus on the regions most already represented in collections of translation.

THIS IS FRAUD!! In so many ways, this is evil and should be illegal and should get the whole scam shut down. The platform makes money based on how many users it has. Falsifying the number of users IS FRAUD.
Also, THAT'S EVIL!! It's digital necromancy. Like... digital zombies, digital slavery.

Meta has patented AI that can run a dead person's account, continuing to post and chat on their behalf
It can message and video call by replicating a user's online behavior using their past data

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

*Such an eccentric era. Not sure what to compare this to. Feels rather like living in a Moebius bande dessinee where it's complex and colorful but also totally vibe-driven and plotless, the hallucinated pages just unfold as they go along

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.
Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

I love the Outsiders Arts Club and I love working with artists! what I love maybe slightly less is the number of artists' websites which do not offer any information on, say, whether they have gallery representation, where they live, how one may contact them, or indeed absolutely anything useful
