Listening to #EpictheMusical again, and Odysseus had a horrible, no good, very bad time. 🤣
White supremacy comes in many forms, and it must go away.

Is anyone doing #BlackFaeDay in #Philly or the #DMV? Asking for a me in Delaware. 🥺
“Kraken’s CEO told staff he thought white people should be able to use the n-word at work, while Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong banned the phrase “Black Lives Matter” among his workforce…”
So, uh, that’s a gross ass thing for Hachette to do. Two things can absolutely be true at once and it’s this - any use of AI in books should not be accepted.
Not from authors. Not from publishing houses.
On March 19th Hachette Book Group made headlines for terminating a book contract with author Mia Ballard over her alleged use of AI in her novel Shy Girl; meanwhile, Hachette has negotiated with the AI editing software company Alighieria to integrate full-scope AI editorial correction tools into their production process.
Trad publishers: we produces better written books than indie.
Also Trad publishers.
Screenshot of a tweet by Erik Anderson (@AwardsWa...) commenting "Republicans suddenly want religion out of politics lol," quote-tweeting a Fox News post about Tom Homan, described as a lifelong Catholic, responding to Pope Leo's criticism of U.S. immigration enforcement by saying he wishes the Church would "stay out of politics."
These folks declared during the pandemic, “The government can’t tell me what to do with my body!” So it tracks.
William Pannapacker: "Dear America, you are waking up as Germany once did, to the awareness the 1/3 of your people will kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches."
Any other President, any other country, any other time, he’d be impeached, imprisoned and disgraced.
Shout out to the black girls too weird to fit in

I'm thinking of a big job hop that would put me at the mercy of finding my own health insurance but also get me out of working for my local government one more year...hopefully one more season.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
I really dont know how to navigate a world where so many people are both confident and lacking in literacy.
That's a bop lol.
Sorrows. Prayers.
This place just stays toxic. I don't need this kind of negativity on my feed.
Jesus, "His Name Was Martin" didn't air on Halloween week?! 😱

I just really hope we get a warning before the retaliation starts, because *they* know it's not *us*.
I hate all of you fuckers who downplayed the horrors of a second Trump term.

The same thing happens in traditional publishing. One book with a Black MC fails in a genre--and the author doesn't even have to be Black--and you don't see another one for years.
If one Black movie fails, studios won't pick up another, but somehow Dakota Johnson movies get picked up left and right.

People talk about hating the word moist, but "secretions" is right there.
Removing decorated officers over race and gender is the mark of a small man. History will not remember him kindly.
