We are all very tired of it (or at least I am), but pretending it’s gone is not going to help anyone stay healthy. Lots of us are tired of hearing about it (and honestly, we’re tired of talking about it), but we keep talking about it because we know how devastating it can be, we’ve met people whose lives are forever changed for the worse because of getting COVID-19, and lots of people who are now living with Long COVID say they wish they had known how bad it could be. So we’ll probably keep talking about it, because we want you to be healthy and happy, and even if you are tired of it (that’s fair), we hope you take some steps to protect yourself and others so you can all live long, healthy lives.

In other words, we’re know you’re tired of hearing about COVID-19. We’re tired of hearing about it too. But ignoring it does not help it to go away, so please continue to take protect your health.

pretty sure everyone who follows me know this but if you support JKR/HP, get the fuck out. if you're transphobic, get the fuck out. if you support trad pub books that are reskinned fanfics of HP, get the fuck out. (yes this is in light of the new 7 figure HP fanfic deal that was announced) #BookSky

"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."

this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good

Reposting this again to boost, and to see if anyone has any suggestions?

Graffiti on marble at the Hagia Sofia: Younger Futhark runes are marked in shaky hand on the marble, which likely required a lot of effort, spelling out Halfdan was here.

For centuries they were thought to just be scratches in the marble, perhaps structural damage from earthquakes. In 1964 it was determined these markings weren't random but writing: the Hagia Sophia bears Viking Era graffiti, runes that say "Halfdan was here." #WyrdWednesday

I'm pretty sure I'm ok to use the John Donne poem since it's way out of copyright...right?

And I'm hoping it's the same for the Barrie quote? (FYI—he died in 1937)

And would this apply internationally? I'm based in the UK, but my books are published all over.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey author pals, question on using quotations and copyright:

I've got two quotations in my newest historical WIP. The first is a poem by John Donne published in 1633.

The second is three lines from a speech J.M. Barrie gave in 1922, which I was hoping to use as my epigraph.

The American dream has always relied on violence, exclusion, and control. It was state policy when George Washington weaponized disease and starvation and ordered the destruction of Native American villages, and it's the same imperialist policy passed down through time to this day.

Large central headline: “COVID isn’t ‘just a cold.’” Below that: “It can affect the brain, heart, and immune system, even months later.” In bright pink near the lower middle: “Prevention matters.” At the bottom: “World Health Network - Science for a safer, healthier world.”

COVID is not “just a cold.” Even mild or asymptomatic infections can cause lasting health effects, damaging blood vessels and organs, affecting the brain, and weakening the immune system.

I hate that the debate we are constantly having in the 21st century is "we have to let the most evil fuckers alive do whatever the hell they want VS no we don't"

refusing to participate in corporate bullshit as a consumer is only ONE of the ways you can fight for a better world, but it is not only real and effective, it opens up your imagination to getting your material needs met outside of capitalism and/or strengthening your local economy

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

I think posts that contain AI images and video should have to be clearly marked as such, and have a system tag…

and users should be able to opt out of seeing all AI tagged posts.

Old tweet that says when I was young I thought things wre bad because solutions were complicated and now I'm old and realize things are bad because solutions are simple but will inconvenience affluent people (or those who aspire to be) and religious fanatics.

I didn't save this tweet but somebody did and it feels worth resurfacing
