“If you want us to keep the books you love, check them out! Circulation is one of many factors we consider when weeding our collections, and it’s a very important factor for public libraries in particular, which need to keep making room for new books.”

Why doesn’t Elon charge people who don’t use Twitter, it’s a faster-growing market segment.

Man not to go on and on with this but it’s really worth it to watch the actual clip of where the Miyazaki quote comes from just to see AI guys get asked “why are you doing this?” and seeing them having to grapple morally with it for the first time ever.

The usual fash & fash-adjacent grifters grifting; the fake populism; the whiny bullhorn & placard hysteria; the universalization of heterosexuality; the refusal of anything resembling empathy or identification with the Other. Transphobes stay the fuck out of my city.

As you may have heard, our shop, staffed by eight queer people, has taken a hit losing That Other Site. Our outreach is down, so we've migrated here to @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. I post here on this profile a few times a week, but that's the account, and this is the site:

Writer Wednesday: If you’re querying or on sub, I highly recommend your next project be something that brings you joy. That makes you eager to get back to the page. Getting lost in your next project is a great way to keep you from checking your email every 5 seconds. 🙃

“End term” elective abortions are not performed.
No pregnant woman wakes up at the end of her pregnancy and decides never mind.
NOBODY.
And even if you could find one, all viable life is preserved.
Stop with the complete bullshit.
This is reality.
