Are these fscking idiots seriously so catastrophically short sighted & dense they cannot smell the scam here?
Did they invest in FTX and Theranos as well!? I’m sure genius Minister Ayers our Australian expert will be all over those tech opportunities

Oh, it’ll cost $1 billion to pay for older folks to have the dignity of showering?
Well, how about taking it out of the billions you’re giving to fscking AI tech bros?
I’m sure as shit they don’t need it.

People are speaking out about the *other* harms of AI. Time we listened really hard. Fight for regulation. Government for the people, not for tech oligarchs.
Hearing about mantasy.
And web serials is totally it. I’m 3/4 way thru the audiobook of #ProjectHailMary with Ray Porter narrating.
It’s a flying man shed.
The centrifugal off and on button for gravity? Every man-cave enjoyer is aching for that now.
Sex is OK. But duct taping laptops heh 👊
Necromancers 🧙 have names like pharmaceuticals like the roster for their temple is ripped off a prescription pad. And these guys are so evil, but so work-averse, stressed and whiny. 😂
Having so much fun writing & illustrating Soul Stealers - a Pratchett-esque take on Dungeon Crawler Carl meets What We Do in the Shadows.

Ryan runs a pool cleaning business. Or he did until he woke to find he’d been abducted to an alien planet and turned into a golem; by necromancers who want him to kill people. At least he has Gary the gargoyle. #LitRPG #BookSky read all chapters for free
I submitted a #ShortStory to #NYCMidnight 3 months ago. It’s a whodunnit set in the UK. On Tuesday the judges decisions come out and I find out how I did.
Chances are the wraps will come off and I’ll finally be able to publish it.

Hi @freddreads.bsky.social - thanks so much for that! Yes - it’s closer to 10 years if I go back to when I first started with sketches & ideas.

It’s had a resurgence with Stranger Things, movie adaptations and references in books like Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Today’s adventure was launched on board this ship, the Oceamora, a single masted square rigger sailing out of Neverwinter on the Sword Coast
Dungeons and Dragons! Today I got to roll the D20 dice with friends and battle foes defined by columns of numbers. And it was so much fun.
Drew this for the first day we set sail.

Our hero is still getting used to the whole being made of stone thing. In his frustration at the lack of answers makes an unfortunate mistake. And he makes a new friend.

the book titled “dungeon crawler carl”
My local library had a copy and i’m already 200 pages in and am loving it so far! #booksky
That cat. 😂 🐈
Don’t want to admit that I need this shelf. Sigh. My DNF is higher than the rest of my shelves. 🥴
The book I’m currently reading - Ashley KB’s latest thriller- I will definitely finish. But I’m terrible at DNF’ing those “books I _should_ read”.

Creative writing takes on the problems of the world in a different way: by creating escapes that at the same time allow us to think of the problems in new ways. Potentially from different angles to the ones we are entrenched in. Fantasy is important. #Fantasy #WriterThoughts
Sarah with goofy expression stands in front of a Brisbane Writer's Festival pull-up banner at a venue.
Brisbane Writer's Festival session "Surviving Autocracy" with M Gessen interviewed by Richard Fidler really opened my eyes (ha ha - see pic of me from the event) to how current events in the USA, Russia and the middle east can be seen as part of a pattern.

Free to read - chapter 1 of the Soul Stealers, a #LitRPG with nincompoop necromancers and a scooby gang for the times. #BookSky
Ryan finds himself on a strange world, bizarrely changed. And late for work. When he gets an answer it is chilling.
Free-to-read serial novel, The Soul Stealers. #LitRPG, #fantasy w necromancy thrown in.

Me holding up three cards that say “Writer & Illustrator”. I have a silly grin.
A card that says “Writer & Illustrator” and has a QR code to storybridge.org
My new calling cards have arrived, and I must say: they look schmick! I'd hoped they'd be here for GenreCon - but I will have them for GenreCon 2027: Inner Sanctums - and for all the events that will crop up between now and then.
