just a heeeaaads up that some of these art commission scammers are upgrading their technique

they will now actually take notes of things that really happened in your fic, they make it sound personalised and genuine, but there's a way they talk that feels weirdly artificial, there's always a vague mention of some 'ideas' they have, if it raises your hackles trust those instincts and tread carefully, because ultimately-

they will ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO A SECONDARY LOCATION

suddenly changing up their writing style is a big red flag, wanting to take you off platform to some other site showcasing their 'art' is an even bigger red flag, REAL ARTISTS DO NOT DO THIS

no matter how genuine they sound, trust NOBODY advertising their art in your comment section, trust NOBODY who wants to take you off platform, NEVER go to that secondary location

STREET SMARTS!

Han’s lucky that Alderaan blew up because their press would eat him alive. My guy has to contend with the fact that the last Viceroy who married into the royal family is Bail freaking Organa and he ran drugs for a living. Somewhere there is a space Piers Morgan throwing a fit about it.

"han solo would be star wars meghan markle in an alderaan isn't exploded au" isnt meta i ever expected to read but it is nonetheless very correct

Current writing advice I'm seeing on TikTok and Insta is telling authors to stop using em dashes in their work because, "AI uses em dashes so people will think you've used AI."

Y'know, the AI that was trained on the stolen work of real authors?

Anyway, I will not be doing that. What I will be doing, however, is adding a note at the start of all my books that no AI was used in the creation of my work because I, the author, did not go to university for four fucking years to study English literature and linguistics only to be told I can't use proper grammar because someone might think a robot wrote it.

Fucking, insane.

Hamzah 💚 the face, the fits and Nuhro pestering him as usual. He is the production manager at his father's foundry (runs orders, scheduling, shipping etc.), and one of Nuhro's suppliers (and a bit of an old soul.) Been having fun shaping up this one. Yara (his crush hoo hee) coming soon...

Designing my new SWANA/ME OC bebe boyyyy! He becomes an eventual friend of Nuhro, and he is the goodest semi grumpo boy. Calling him Hamzah for now… we’ll see if that changes. Also sticking with the shoulder length brown hair (maybe he has the mohawk at some point)

Hey guys something fucking bad happened

KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.
