The Canadian Government has a big AI boner right now, but you can still answer the survey with as much spite as you can muster.

Why would you ever trust a computer enough to upload your consciousness to it? Just die in a Victorian manor and transfer your consciousness to its dilapidated walls in the traditional fashion

I prefer more over less. I can skim if it gets to be too much for me, but there is so much context & craft to be learned from a good description. Lately, I've found that sometimes there's so little description (esp setting) that I can't follow the story. I won't finish reading those. #PretendPanel

Characters: we have vibes in mind and then seek out face claims to help solidify the look. Art commissions and having photoshoots with models also help us figure out which traits are right Setting: we either research online (Google Maps, Zillow, websites) or go see it ourselves #PretendPanel

It varies between 2 states: 1) the scene plays out in my head like a film or an animation, or 2) I step into the role and visualize my actions and setting as the story. 1 is more common, but sometimes 2 is necessary to figure out what actions feel true vs the expected/easy response #PretendPanel

Hello #pretendpanel! I have a request this month to all writers in Aotearoa. Please turn your skills with words to the vital task of submitting against the stupid bill which is just about making life harder for trans people. Here's a really good guide about why and how: qtopia.org.nz/news/submiss...

Moma & I are participating in a local Fringe Festival! Moma will run tech for 3 shows. This is my 1st time participating. I'm part of a series of free, 10-12 min shows. I wrote & will perform it. Moma is my stage manager, & I have guitarists accompanying me. The subject is, of course, death :p

We like putting characters into different Situations to see what they do; we did that at least 2x before putting them into the Book Situation. Research makes sure they fit into each world, which changes them accordingly. Tbh we still put them into AU Situations to learn more about them #PretendPanel

This ukiyo-e print by Utagawa Kunisada (1812) depicts a lady in funeral attire mourning for her dead lover. The inscription is apparently an obituary and poem by Yamato Kyosen. #JapaneseArt #ukiyoe

whenever anyone I know admits to using ChatGPT this appears above my head

I know I eventually need to move away from Windows 11 but I don't have long enough work breaks to be able to step away from actively using my laptop and figure out a new system But omfg why does it decide it hates my Bluetooth every flippin Monday when it worked fine for MONTHS

Generally we follow the big ideas and see what happens, building as we go. We tend to stop and reverse-outline when we get stuck or there's too many options. The reverse outline helps us see what we have clearly so that our next steps are more purposeful. Then we go pansting again #PretendPanel

the story started with a noir detective sat at his desk in his London (UK) office one July afternoon, clad in a wool coat

The way he describes it is exactly how I feel about seeing anything that has any element of genai; I immediately lose interest. The presence of genai, even in part casts a tainted shadow on the entire project. What starts as awe, curiosity & excitement turns to disappointment & disinterest so fast

Me every time I get to write

Yourself, but as a cartoon.

I'll focus on Naveena, since she's the one I write as: - fav cosmetic scent is coconut - started learning Kathak when she was 3 - watches GBBO with Keita when depressed - hung both the Tiraṅgā 🇮🇳 & the Saltire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in her dorm - chips + curry sauce = 💜 - hates automatic toilets #PretendPanel #LWDB

Joy is ever-present, even when writing deeply negative emotions or editing text that's difficult to wrangle. I'm in my element when writing and revel in every aspect of it. Writing with Moma, my co-writer, brings even more joy, because I love connecting with them and creating together #PretendPanel

my edit letters:

In Chinese #folklore, Mi Loong (迷龍) is no noble dragon, but the gambling god of the underworld. He commands countless ghostly bettors and is said to mark certain people before birth, binding them to a life of compulsive gambling. Even death brings no escape. 1/3 #gamblingDeity

In Han dynasty mythology, the Zouyu, 騶虞, also called Zouwu, is the rare image of power without cruelty. It bears a tiger’s body, a lion-like head, white fur marked with black stripes, and a long sweeping tail, noble, swift, and serene. Unlike most mythical beasts,1/3 #mythology

In Chinese #folklore, not every crow is merely a bad omen. Some are thunder wearing feathers. A Qing tale in Jianhu Ji (《坚瓠集》) tells of a rainy day when a crow fell into a courtyard. A curious boy trapped it beneath a chicken cage, and instantly the sky erupted, 1/3
