the mourning dove cracks me up, it's like it knows there's a camera

maybe i should take up learning mandarin again so i can misunderstand chinese novels my own damn self instead of letting an ai do it for me

Nothing is eternal, not even AO3

Personally, I like to download as an .epub and import into Calibre because it preserves the tags

Cover of The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison, the second book in the Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy.

Enjoyed it thoroughly, as I expected to based on the first one in the trilogy. I'm only disappointed that the third will not be shipping to me until the 17th #books2026

A large orange tabby puts a possessive paw on my laptop keyboard because it is time for me to stop watching dropout and scratch his pumpkin shaped head

EXCUSE ME, WHY ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS CONTRAPTION AND NOT ME

it was so long ago that i don't remember clearly, but it was probably a sailor moon fanfic and it would have been on someone's personal website or a small fandom archive

"It is a very simple pwp but because I am a dramatic bitch I have given him class consciousness"

is a sentence i just typed regarding my current wip

How do you enforce bed rest on a corgi???

Finally deleted, but I think the fact that @thetnholler.bsky.social posted a deepfake from an TikTok account that clearly labeled it as AI says something about how these types of accounts operate. This wasn't just a mistake anyone could make

I see this doing the rounds, but it is a deepfake and the account that posted it here doesn't seem very interested to know that

yes, more protagonists with sad rescue cat energy, please

i will eat as many raspberries as you give me, i do not understand

ripe papaya smells vaguely of rotting feet. like a weaker version of durian, but durian gets to stay because it's an agent of chaos

I can't imagine hating a fruit, but if I had to choose one to go, it would be papaya

"Congratulations on your niche online subculture breaking containment and finding commercial success! Your punishment for succeeding when you're not supposed to will be endless scrutiny over your sexual interests and judgement over what you're allowed to like under the hetero-patriarchy."

the worst part about long, engrossing games is finishing them

i usually get too attached to my characters to replay rpgs with a new one, so now that i've finished #veilguard i just have to sit with the post-game funk until the new shiny comes along

finally finished #veilguard today

it's flawed, but i had a great time and i think it got a lot harsher criticism than it deserved

i think once it became known as a "bad game", every criticism, legitimate or not, got amplified - the games review equivalent of a bitch eating crackers

A collection of illustrations of crocodiles and alligators against a soft green and yellow background. They are playfully either swimming or loafing around, playing with fish, taking care of their young and chilling in the water. The crocodiles and alligators are mostly green and yellow, save for an albino alligator. They’re so loving and fun, these toothy friends!

draft of an email:

hello,

i ordered some books that i want to read. it was a whole two minutes ago and they have not yet arrived at my door

if you are having delivery delays i would also accept them being put into a cannon and launched into the midwest. i can pick them up

thank you,
[redacted]

Being an author is great. You can just add another bisexual vampire to the mix. No one is stopping you.

also @sunshot.bsky.social l i see you liking that reply and you should know you were the one who pushed me over the edge into actually ordering & reading it when i already have a to-read pile six feet high

It's really great. It's not a comedy at all, but it has a sort of militant decency that reminds me of Pratchett, which is SO unusual in a fantasy court drama

Cover of The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison.

This was a breath of fresh air and I've already ordered the trilogy that follows one of the side characters

you ever get the suspicion that you're talking to someone who doesn't have a fully developed theory of mind

it confirmed my beliefs about ai and the incompetence of the people who use it when they shouldn't. it contained delicious comeuppance

but it was also likely generated by ai as ragebait to farm reddit karma. am i sure? not 100%, but that's enough to not repost

today, this stopped me from reposting ai-generated ragebait about how bad ai is

i realize that the entire social media economy would collapse if we all did this, but we really need to be less impulsive about sharing content before we look into the source

so many different types of toxic social media phenomena would be nipped in the bud if people just looked into the source

illustration of Sera from Dragon Age Inquisition as the tator card The Sun the illustration is bright and playful but not overly saturated, a clockwise gradient going from warm orange and yellow tones shifting subtly into blues and greens in the background. sera is a pale blonde elf woman with freckles, looking to the right, holding a flat white bow and arrow, getting ready to strike. behind her head is the white sun framing her face.
