Heyo! I'm realizing I didn't ever really make a basic little thread for people coming by the ol' profile. Time to fix that!
Hullo, I am Celeste! I am a reader and writer of literary speculative fiction from the US. I also am quite outspoken about a lot of things, both writing and political. 🧵(1/9)

A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) I saw among the scattered homes of La Madera, just east of the northern Sandia Mountains. Photo taken on November 25, 2025.

GenAI is a fascist product. Sorry you don’t have the moral fortitude to do your own thinking, but fascists love that

Do you ever think about how the most famous and influential anti-imperial resistance literature in Western history is the Book of Revelation?

This is yet again the problem with AI
It isnt that its going to replace us. Its not, it really isnt. It sucks and looks like shit and neve rproduces anything good.
No, what it does is it drowns out actual human made stuff under a sea of slop. Be it art, music, writing, etc, all the human made stuff

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

The Donald Trump administration has excluded nursing, physical therapy, and public health as “professional” degrees under new federal student-loan rules.
Loans for these fields will be limited to $20,500 a year, compared to “professional” degrees, where the limit is $50,000 a year.

Friendly reminder that calling for the total abolition of even the individual concept of intellectual property is calling for the complete alienation of an artist from their labor, and that makes you a filthy capitalist pig.
You cannot be a leftist and argue an artist has no right over their work.

So, I have a question for the peeps out there who submit short stories to literary magazines: do y'all have any good tips/resources on how to write a cover letter? It seems kinda daunting—especially since several magazines on my list do not want me to summarize/pitch the story itself.

A lot of us writers ARE the poor. And we buy books just fine. Second, are you gonna say the same to any other artisan or craftsman that "sorry, withholding cabinetry from the poor is classiest; open a patreon!"? No? Then stfu.
Stop trying to justify your theft of writer's work. WE ARE THE POORS.

I say this 100 percent without irony: there is a reason why artists, craftsmen, and philosophers all have the same patron deity within my stories. Because artistry requires both craftsmanship and philosophy, and it's as simple as that.
Anyway, since it's come up again, a friendly reminder that artists are craftspeople, and if you don't think carpenters are "cabinetry landlords" then artists can't be "ideas landlords" either.
It's not "left-pilled and based" to steal others' work, you fucking ghouls. Fuck off with that shit.

When sub calls call for specific groups - pay attention. You do not submit if you do not identify with the groups stated.
That's simple comprehension.
If you are white and you want to sub to a call for Indigenous writers, you will be rejected.
