There are many reasons to hate on generative AI and large language models but my personal #1 reason is gen AI marketing appropriating the sparkle emoji.

It's blatant erasure of sarcastic bitch culture and I won't stand for it.

what about if the two main characters are a wet and an edgy fuck prince
gr8writingtips.bsky.social it looks like you're writing a novel @gr8writingtips.bsky.social · 2d
your MMC falls under one of two categories: "edgy fuck prince" or "wet". only when you understand which category he belongs to will you be able to successfully market your book

(disability benefits mention warning thing i guess?)

missing out on disability benefits by one (1) point in the "daily living" category while I have an extra four (4!!!) points in the "mobility" category because I mean, going places is not in any way part of anyone's daily living, right 🫠

Moon Makes Me Do It
#werewolf
Hips up drawing of a werewolf in profile, blood erupting from their back. They have nine eyes, but normal amounts of other things. The background is red with parts of blue, some dark moons, textures hinting at a landscape.

#Boktober 08
I wanted to at least finish the page before the end of the month, so I dug down deep and found the energy to sketch-paint not only one chicken but three! Tiny fluffs of different colors
#chickens #birds
A loose watercolor and ink painting of three chicks standing side by side. The first is a light gray, the middle is the typical yellow chick, and the right is black and white. Written in ink is #Boktober 08 with website kamakru.com

The rain kind of put a damper on Halloween this year, but my husband did make a Cerberus costume for our tiny dog.

A friend of mine took this pic a few years ago of a local station’s error. He sadly died earlier this year. While this isn’t exactly his legacy, it left a huge mark.
So everyone please turn your cocks back tonight for Mike.

“Go outside” they said. “You’ll love the fresh air” they said. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

If you saw my posts on firing our ‘medieval’ kiln this week, you might like to see the results.

All are exact copies of original medieval tiles, made as authentically as possible from clays dug on the same site as the kiln, and using hand-carved wooden blocks.

Aren’t they beautiful?
All photos show selections of brown tiles with gold geometric and animal motifs in them.

My favorite four Monster Mashtobers from last year! It was too hard to teach and work on them this time around, but as I adjust back into education I do hope that next year I can make you all some monsters again. Happy Halloween!🦇

Windowpane prose to reach a ~wider readership~

Please use adverbs and semicolons and ten-dollar vocab words. Please make your prose prettier. Please play with sentence structure and POV and narration. I want fewer novels that read like screenplays written for middleschoolers.

The Monarch of the Gweh
Ishtar, seal point siamese cat, standing proudly on my lap while gazing into the distance. (Her paws was pressing directly on my stomach when this photo was taken, of course). The photo is taken from a low angle, giving the photo a very "dramatic painting of a proud wild creature" kind of vibe, only undermined very slightly by the fact that she's a little bit cross-eyed.

Took Jay to the doctor for his stomach issues on Tuesday

Took Ishtar to the vet for her stomach issues on Thursday

Took Tomoe to the vet for her bladder issues this morning

It's kind of ironic that so many people constantly argue that romance will be the easiest to replace with AI because it's so formulaic, but that's just the ignorance of people who have never tried to write a compelling emotional journey inside that formula. You gotta BRING THE FEELS.

One more for birdtober! Eastern towhees for the mnemonic prompt. Their drink-your-tea call is memorable for sure :)
