If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

So I distracted myself from the immediate task but

I wrote a novel, y'all. I'm still super burned out and it was *agonizingly hard* to do and I had a lot of "I shouldn't have agreed, I am a fraud, all those books were flukes and my time is done"

But I fucking wrote a novel, y'all

FUCK YEAH

Every single person involved in creating this should be blacklisted from anything even tangentially related to art.

This is *awful.* AI is awful. PAY VOICE ACTORS.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Ok this wins the night. (Love that book)
Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

One year ago, you met my queer Portland rock band/magical girl squad, and their new trans member, Claire.

Soon, it'll be time for their next adventure!

"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is the sequel to my debut. This is the cover, once again by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social.

Release date & preorders soon!

In committing treason by attacking US citizens, ICE and anyone assisting them have abrogated their own function, standing, and authority as federal personnel. They have become nothing more than an occupying force of enemy combatants with stolen valor & wearing fraudulent uniforms.

Modern people celebrating Columbus would be a bit like people in 500 years celebrating OJ Simpson after watching the original Naked Gun movie.

"What else do we know about him?"

"Nothing important! He was hilarious and suffered for our sins!"
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Today, Donald Trump admired Egyptian dictator el-Sisi’s regime “because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly.”

This was a reference to the worst massacre of protesters in modern world history by el-Sisi’s military in 2013.

“I think it’s great.”

ICE, not obeying illegal orders isn't a crime...

Forcing others to OBEY illegal orders is,

Not sure you understand how laws work, now if you really think just following orders protects you.... Surely you were intentionally kept from proper history books

Last week was Banned Books Week and it was A Lot but it was also better than previous years’ iterations. I felt a change in the way people were talking about this issue. Fewer “buy banned books” and more “contact your legislators.” Getting local gov’t involved is key to preventing future book bans!
