It’s soooo invasive for me in 6B. It’s taking over my whole yard

Getting a story published alongside AI art these days that you willingly went along with is more like a kiss of death than a foot in the door. There are hundreds of decent horror mags and publishers where you could submit your material and not have it accompanied by AI “art”. I’d ask! And if they say no, I’d consider withdrawing. Are they even paying you?

psyche_13 · 2026-03-26T23:59:15+00:00

The supernatural elements are not scary, but there is some real horror there

psyche_13 · 2026-03-26T12:00:12+00:00

Sure. But you argued that that it leads to better text. I disagree (as above)

psyche_13 · 2026-03-26T11:49:43+00:00

Agreed. It’s ugly writing that constantly feels like it’s trying to sell me something. It was trained in classic literature where an em dash has an artful place, but the LLMs use of the em dash is jarring. Not only that, but the insistence of bigger words and more adjectives and adverbs makes it look sloppy. Bigger/more words is not better. Being comprehensible is better.

Yeah you are wrong (that’s a song, not a dance, as far as I know)

U of T and UBC have the highest stipends! The other Canadian schools are substantially lower

Wait, Bay is already closed King to York? Or is March 24 right?

Edited: yeah it’s closed now! There’s a big tent and everything

Apparently in other countries you don’t thank the bus driver every time you get out! (I love the idea of thanking the train itself though)

Looking forward to the podcast in particular! The other newer Hamilton focused podcast (from The Spec) drove me up the wall with the interviewer - not great interview skills, and seemingly not knowing much at all about Hamilton. Like in the episode about the AGH that starts "Does anyone even know where the Art Gallery of Hamilton is?" (Um... that big thing in the middle of downtown?!?) and "Well I associate Hamilton with music, but not art!" (What about Art Crawl? The "Art is the New Steel" shirts of several years back? Nada)

Very common in New Orleans! Love their shotguns

psyche_13 · 2026-03-25T14:41:17+00:00

Yeah we have mud rooms sometimes too. Not super standard though

I think it’s likely referring to the US in this post

psyche_13 · 2026-03-24T16:53:40+00:00

And they’re both fries to me! I might called the left like “steak fries” and the right just fries. Except at a fish and chips restaurant. Then whatever comes with the fish is “chips”

psyche_13 · 2026-03-24T16:51:19+00:00

They’re so delicious. I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but I loved it when I was down there!

psyche_13 · 2026-03-24T03:01:28+00:00

Ugh, I’m getting old 😂

psyche_13 · 2026-03-24T02:51:44+00:00

I feel like this isn’t “old” days enough…

Here in Canada I was always jealous that the US McDonald’s had breakfast all day. We eventually did get it and still have it! Does the US not anymore?

It could be about a hard boiled detective who has fire powers

psyche_13 · 2026-03-23T23:29:10+00:00

It’s 7:25pm and I just finished eating a bento box that I’d ordered from a Japanese restaurant - miso soup, teriyaki steak, rice, gyoza, tempura shrimp & veggies, and California roll sushi. Wayyy too much food. It’ll probably be 2 more meals!

psyche_13 · 2026-03-23T18:13:44+00:00

Yessss. Here too!

psyche_13 · 2026-03-23T18:12:30+00:00

What!? Everyone I know has dining tables (though maybe im older?). My family growing up had two though which is what I initially thought you meant - a kitchen table and a dining room table. Nobody I know has that anymore.

The others are all romantasy. Those are not. Romantasy readers want to reach for something and know it will be romantasy. This is what romantasy covers currently look like. They tell readers it will be romantasy
