We have had to remove our social media manager from the Circus Troupe due to unprofessional behaviour ~ our approach to socials will return to the original vision for our brand, & any contributors affected by the change will be notified. Thank you for your patience while we patch up our tent 💙

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

When the Nuremberg trials of our age are held, may every single person involved find the justice they deserve.
The prosecution of every member of ICE, CBP, DOGE, etc. is a moderate compromise.
Abolition without prosecution is a conservative one.

Some of the best Warhammer players in the world are boycotting a championship in the U.S. over our embrace of fascism. One Belgian player cited specifically legal actions against trans people as one reason he will not participate.
Nice to see.

No matter how much he pays the world will not forget Palestine and how he specifically acted toward Netanyahu the electorate and protesting students. His actions woke up so many to the issue. Hopefully people never forget
Joe Biden is in reputation management mode — and has hired a veteran campaign and communications strategist to help burnish his legacy.

When a lit mag lands a piece in the pushcart anthology, it’s a big deal. It brings prestige, more readers, and attention.
Not just for the mag, but for the writer too 🖤

if you take this moment to denigrate the "big indies" losing NEA funding, because of your perception that they publish identity over talent, it says a lot to me about your insecurity and self-centered view of publishing.
