I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni
A screenshot of Cat Rector's website store. The audiobooks are listed at $20.99 Canadian and the collection of ebooks is listed at $24.99 Canadian.
This day of boycotting major businesses is a great time for me to announce that you can now buy my ebooks and audiobooks direct from my website!

Or from catrector.itch.io
Both platforms allow you to keep the files forever instead of via subscription model!

Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro has joined calls for the UK government to “reconsider and change course” when it comes to AI, warning that “no one believes the proposed ‘opt-out’ system will work”. 👇 #BookSky
Dear Manager, last week I:
1. Woke up in the morning
2. Stepped outside
3. Took a deep breath
4. Got real high
5. Screamed from the top of my lungs, "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.
Turns out, when JK wrote, "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be," she was warning us.
Findaway voices, the audiobook distributor owned by Spotfiy has partnered with Elevenlabs to offer AI narration on its platform. Shameful stuff.

Quite frankly, fuck Spotify.
No one asked for AI narration.
No one needs AI narration.
Authors knew Findaway/Spotify didn't have authors/narrators best interest at heart with the rights grabby TOS they tried to foist on us a year ago.We left in our thousands.

They're still holding the invaders back.
The American president just accused them of starting it 😡
Yes! My kid is an unenthusiastic reader and the joy I felt the first time I caught him reading Captain Underpants way past bedtime was indescribable.
Hi, by telling your kid that what they’re reading isn’t a real book and forcing them to read something they have zero interest in, you’re going to make them not want to read and you look like a hypocritical dick for doing so.

New audiobook releases! I was thrilled to record these two incredible YA fantasy books for Harper, both of which have been released this week.

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺

Turns out the people who said "Be excellent to each other" really understood the assignment.
FOTUS just rolled back all of Biden's AI protections, so he can continue to feed his corporate 🍑👅ers.
If you scraped the Internet and used people's work without permission and compensation for GenAI, as OpenAI admitted to doing, you are stealing. Full stop.

I made friends with this little guy last week!
Submitted my self assessment. Everyone clap.
If I was there, I'd immediately get off the train, knowing full well I'd be brought back in a 'twist' halfway through. 🤷♀️ #TheTraitors
Happy New Year! I'm turning 42 this year, which is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. So it's going to be a good year??
Unexpected bonus of being an audiobook narrator - the kids know they're not allowed in my booth, which makes it the perfect spot to hide their stocking presents.
Congratulations!

Imagine a society where survival didn't depend on a job. Imagine how that would alter the fabric of...everything. Imagine if you could leave a job without fearing the loss of income or health care. Imagine the power of the worker in that society. 3/11
Well, I know what I'm asking Dan to get me for Christmas.
