It's pronounced PECK-a-check. Artist, Crawford Award-winning writer, third thing now and then. He/him. Seattle. https://linktr.ee/jpechacek repped by Jennifer Azantian. Debut novel THE WEST PASSAGE out now from tordotcom!
Pinned
I didn't have anything out in 2025, but I'm still within the window of eligibility for the Astounding Award, so, for your consideration,

Also, people going hard for Newsom, who are never, ever from California, have you noticed how many of the people who hate him are FROM California? THAT'S B/C WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT GAVIN NEWSOM AS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS & IT IS VERY NOT GREAT & WE ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU TO AVOID THAT.

What? “Everybody has it open”? I don’t even know where chatGPT lives
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.
🚨BREAKING: Multiple fires have broken after ICE unleashed ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical gas at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. LIVE NOW ⬇️

GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows!
By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎
