Jeff Bezos didn't build a spaceship. A large number of highly educated, highly skilled engineers (who happen to work for a company partially owned by Bezos) built a spaceship.

Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

I'm in the final stretch before major trans gender-affirming surgery, and any book sales will be so helpful in being able to afford this all! Direct sales through TF Publishing are best, but anything will be so beneficial. Please consider purchasing, signing up to Patreon, or sharing this thread.

Cover art for Dragon's Soul, featuring two dragonesses and a gryphon in a close, loving huddle. Art by Vurt.

Cover art of Axinstone, featuring a black dragon standing atop an arch rock formation, in front of a stylised pastel background. Art by Chromamancer.

Cover art for Reborn, which features a starat – an anthropomorphic weasel-like creature – standing upright and holding his hand out to help up a second starat, lying on his back. The starat standing is wearing work overalls, while the second is wearing military uniform. They are in a rocky environment with a dark sky. Art by Ilya Royz.

Fun fact: while there are some anti-capitalist themes in this book, I had a different theme in mind while writing and editing that's (apparently) subtler. Maybe you'll find it, or maybe you'll find something I didn't intend, too.

Sending someone grotesque digital re-creations of their deceased loved ones is definitely a thing that normal people in a normal society do.

"And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line".

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘stop doing this to him’

Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’

I liked the one where they went to the Prohibition-era Chicago gangster planet. TOS is often very, very funny from a modern perspective (and probably it was funny back in the day, too).
