So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other.

Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾
screenshot of a Tumblr post from user ecofear yelling "what is HAPPENING" in response to a screenshot of a quotetweet from user @Ovichknox reading "this is so scary to me. i recommended a book to a friend recently and she came back to me a day later saying it was really good and i asked if she finished it already and she said "yeah i got chatgpt to summarise each chapter into 3 paragraphs to it was easy to read" which is replying to a tweet from @alz_zyd reading "Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt l got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred…" Followed by a a reblog from tumblr use moonglade-poetess reading "Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree: Please just use Sparknotes if you're going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAl shit doesn't actually know what's important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I'm begging.

Need a quick gift that will make you look very suave, cool, and intelligent? How about a book + a pair of novelty socks?
This is just a graphic that says GIVE A DELILAH BOOK TO SOMEONE COOL: ADULT HORROR EDITION: A HOLIDAY GIFT-GIVING GUIDE but I did use the American Horror Story font for some of it so it has a slightly creepy feel in juxtaposition to the holiday colors and holly and shit. House of Idyll is perfect for Musicians and Horror fans and could be paired with socks featuring unicorns or guitars or blood, your choice. Bloom is basically Hannibal but cottagecore girls and would pair well with socks featuring flowers, skulls, or meat. Guillotine is perfect for people who are mad at capitalism and would like to see billionaires punished in creative ways and would pair well with socks featuring roses, pearls, or orcas.

You should read I BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES because it rules. It manages to be funny and genuinely moving, which isn't an easy feat. If you're in any way familiar with US indie horror presses, you can play a fun game of guessing the press from their in-book pseudonym. I liked this one a lot!

if you've read I BELIEVE IN MISTER BONES you should write up a little review on the places you do that. if you haven't read it, you should go read it. it's a pretty cool book imho and more people should be reading it

I started following @delilahsdawson.bsky.social and then started to troll different library branches. It is my special good fortune that this branch had this book. I’ll never thread an embroidery needle in quite the same way. If you love horror get it. Book to book lover, and all bc of social media.

Out today: my next MG Horror, Ride or Die! Set in an abandoned amusement park and featuring a main character who just wants to be cool for one day, it really hits a lot of my childhood fears. Available wherever books are sold or available to borrow! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/703249...
The book RIDE OR DIE is pictured against Delilah's bookshelf. It features a roller coaster on a broken track rolling into a skull cloud and was created by Matt Ryan Tobin. It's got 80s/90s vibes, and you should definitely pick it up today. p.s. There is a ghost crocodile. Don't you love ghost crocodiles? I think we all do.
