Remember all my mad book drama?

Well, I'm absolutely delighted to say it's over!
An enormous thanks to my wonderful new publisher @manchesterup.bsky.social
Queer As Folklore will be back in the wild! π§πΌββοΈ

Today we moved my father into a care home.
Today has been one of the worse days of my life.
Today has been an enormous relief and release.
Today my mother can start painting again.
Today I had to hold my father and cradle him.
Human emotions are an insane cocktail...

One day, maybe I won't be able to tell. Maybe I'm already being duped. But when I do spot AI art, its not really because it's 'bad' anymore. It's because some frightened mammalian part of me recognises something... dangerous. Something off-putting.

I know it's not the point. But AI art has this really unique kind of ugliness to it. Even when it's vibrant, or convincing... when you look carefully there is this terrifying absence: Looking into the eyes of an AI avatar is like putting a small part of your soul into a meat grinder.

Weird folk online: Greek mythology was full of beautiful white people. When adapted it needs to be cast only with beautiful white people!!! This is OUR heritage!!!
Actual Greek mythology: Just... like... SO much incest.
