Hello Bluesky. I'm working on an animated short and just launched a Kickstarter for it. Please take a look and share with anyone you think will like it! 🙏

I urge you to fill in this consultation if you can - with this very helpful support from Amnesty International - although AND because ! it is heart-breaking that this country has sunk so low that Amnesty suggest in a number of cases to provide no answer as the terms of the question are so evil
Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money.
and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!!

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
Lord of the rings: Merry looks into the glowing palantir orb… and screams
“Cant sleep… i’ll just have a quick look at my phone”
I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.
Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.
They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.

Absolutely brilliant year for games. Wish I had played more, but feeling very happy about how much I got to, all things considered.
As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative
I usually like to do an end of year reflection, but it’s hard for me to describe this beautiful, terrifying year. Motherhood really does change everything (for the better! But it’s also very scary).
Same! ✨
Eu ainda estou, e sou a responsável pela música de Natal pelo que este ano sou capaz de conseguir pela primeira vez!

Size comparison between three books: The Strength of the Few by James Islington, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab and The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar
My two books club picks for January! And a size comparison for giggles.
Cover of the book The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar
Last book for 2025: The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar. Perfect little fairytale to end the year on.
Can’t wait for the next Nebula awarded titles: Sand Mountain; Do Robots Think of Electronic Goats; Killerdroid; 1985.
The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.
Thank you!
Sick season with a one year old truly is relentless. 🫠
:( I’m so sorry to hear this. Glad you got to be there in the end, she sounds like an amazing person. I really hope things turn around for you soon.
It started snowing at the top of the mountain. ✨❄️

Arrived in Bergen today to speak at Konsoll, this city is so incredibly beautiful!
Ugh, I hate it 🥲
I wanted to start using Bluesky again, but because I’m in the UK, it’s asking me for age verification in order for me to use DMs and see mature content. It’s not accepting my card and I don’t feel like having my face scanned by some random company. 🥲 Anyone else had to do this?
Hello Bluesky folks! For my first post, here is a photo of my cats Freya and Ragnar hanging out under my desk while I work.
