This is a big reason I shouted so much about "The Shabti," which I read this week. I loved it! And I read it because someone else (probably @clairewillett.bsky.social) had done some shouting about it. Now, maybe someone else will pick it up and love it just as much because of what I posted. :)

People are sometimes surprised when I say I don't like LLM's – but I just got sent a copy of a magazine that I had given permission to reprint a short story of mine. There was an "About the author" piece that followed the story and not a single fact there written about me was accurate.

"is your art political" won't give you an interesting answer. It will either lead to people going "no, lol" because they think you mean political advocacy as art, or people going "yeah of course" because all art contains the artist's worldview in some way

the idea that art is lubricant for a message, and that the ultimate form of art is this very reductive, logic-brained "method of communicating a specific idea," as if art is itself something shameful unless it is serving a purpose of advocating ideas specifically is very dumb

"...if you're asking 'does your work contain your political values?' like no shit. I did my best to study how the world works and understand how to make everyone live happier and healthier lives. as a result, all my games possess my anticapitalist, pro-intersectionality views, yeah"
