Musings

Is the 'I'm a Giver, not a Taker' profile badge a bad idea?
A performative paid subscriber flag may have unintended consequences. Especially for the many cash-poor pub/subs still parasitising Substack.
The Empath's Resurrection
How effective is 'There & Back Again' in distinguishing suffering from success?
Bird Strike
A war wound opened up by another false identity.
Are Guilty Feelings Enough?
You don't need to behave in a detrimental way. Even as a writer.
Wins, Waste & Sin
Sated needs and salvaged waste are irreconcilable human demands.
Trivial Human - 0 : Arrogant AI - 1
HAL is almost here.
Authors don't use AI to Lie, Deceive & Manipulate
Just stir some Svengali into that Cauldron of Convincing.
Modify, Modify, Modify
Because beauty is in the eye of the patent holder
Humans Thriving On Other Worlds Is Fantasy
Space opera will need re-categorisation long before a chunky 'arkonaut' warbles.
Extended Expiry Date
Both a Poem and a Relative's Resurrection as part of a deadly obsession.
Music 2 : Write 2
Why music matters more than most writers care to admit.
Queer Storylines: Spicy Indulgence or Commercial Necessity?
Vote on the "Yin vs. Yang" tendency whilst ignoring the 'silent majority'.
