Steve "You're gonna need a bigger boat" Turnbull @taupress.com · Oct 14
Introductory post

Web developer by day, coding for over 50 years.

The rest of the time I'm a writer of fantasy, SF, Steampunk and Erotica stories mostly with queer MCs.

As a hobby I like to create 3D renders using DazStudio. (Example below.)

I have no time for bigots of any type.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue turns around as Green looks out of the window, both looking enthusiastic. Green: Look! It's snowing! Blue: My favourite weather! Blue and Green talk as they are on their way somewhere. Blue: Remind me to get paint stripper on our way home. Green: Okay! Visiting Blue's parents, Blue's mother is sitting on top of a big crate, while his father is sitting on the ground next to it. Blue looks at the crate eagerly. Blue's mother: We have a whole crate of this stuff we can't get rid of. Blue: That's the exact stuff I needed! Soon enough, Blue and Green are back on their way, dragging the massive crate home. Blue raises an eyebrow in distrust. Blue: Today has been going suspiciously well. Green: It's your birthday.

A text-heavy graphic features the bio of Alasdair Stuart, who is also pictured in the centre in a small inset: he's a middle-aged white man with close-cropped hair, wearing a purple t-shirt and wire-rimmed glasses.

I get at least five of these "opportunities" a day. This is the most enigmatic so far. So... understated. So... subtly ironic.

Otherwords with @ericabrozovsky.bsky.social on PBS has a nice take on negation (with a side note on why LLMs are really bad with it), which I think will not be uninteresting for us in the English-second-language crowd as well.
