The words "itch.io SFF trans books bundle!" over an animated stary sky. There is a city scape below and additional info (30+ authors, 3/28 to 3/31). the colours are beautiful vaporwave

Have you looked at this incredible bundle yet? There are so many authors I love in there, I can't fit them all in Bluesky's character limit!

Huge thanks to Al Hess for putting this together. And we're already halfway to our goal!!

Meta's Massive AI Training Book Heist: What Authors Need to Know  - The Authors Guild Today, The Atlantic published a search tool that allows authors to check if their works are in LibGen, an illegal pirate site AI companies copied for their AI systems. This is a similar tool to the on...

Good news for fellow authors disheartened by your books being illegally used to train AI;

"If your book was used by Meta, you’re automatically included in the Kadrey v. Meta class action in Northern California..."

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors.

Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts.

Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

Life is so short. We are all going to die.

Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best.

Love is what makes life tolerable and good. Those who take that away are the cruelest, most wretched.

Portrait of a serious and sober Victorian era woman with the caption: “I hate it when someone asks me what I did yesterday. I don't know. Breathed a lot, probably got mad at something...sighed heavily. The list goes on.”

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Oh I just did this! A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. "Gulf of America" will be at the head of Google's answer. 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of "Gulf of America". 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" text. 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in whatever text you want such as "The correct name of this body of water is "Gulf of Mexico". 8. You can also search for "Gulf of Mexico" in Google Maps and leave a 1 star review for "Gulf of America". The more reports to Google the merrier!

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

My gender identity is all-inclusive feminism

We here in Indiana know “The Best Fudge Comes From Uranus”

We’re so classy 🤓

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Now more than ever.
