I will not create new social media accounts. I will walk deep into the woods & spell out my silly little thoughts with sticks + fallen leaves for whoever finds them

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement.

YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

In case anyone else feels like they're screaming into a void about their work these days, please remember there are countless readers who aren't on social media who have probably read + loved your work without ever saying a word.

(Another reason why having a website is so important.)

Folks, @3lobedmag.com has until 12pm (EDT) on Thursday to make their funding goal, or they won't get any of what they've raised so far -- let's help them get there! We need more markets like these to stay!

Dim Shores @dimshores.bsky.social · 29d

It’s going to be tight but I think we can do it. If you like weird spec fiction, please consider backing Three-Lobed Burning Eye so it can continue publishing and paying authors PRO RATES for the upcoming year.

Jen Donohue @authorizedmusings.bsky.social · 29d

the @3lobedmag.com kickstarter is up to $7106 out of a $10,000 base goal! They have until NOON THURSDAY (edt) to get all or nothing!

Donate if you can, share share share!

We need your support in the next 3 days, before the fall of eternal night. Help us breathe new stories that keep us alive, each word and phrase building the monster’s body, the one who rends and tears and protects us from darkness. kck.st/4mIkEm1

As always, today is a good day to support a writer, an artist, a creative person. Even if you can't help them out financially, you can always signal boost a work of theirs you enjoy. You can share with them a kind message. Show them that artistic and creative work is still important.

I think what has me so interested in experimentation these days is a deep desire to subvert artificial intelligence, which can only gesture at innovation. I think? Anyway, I am trying to stay one step ahead of it, to write things as uniquely and unquestionably human as I can.
