Pinning this, as I did last December, so you all know exactly how I feel about compulsory Christianity. It's not secular, actually. No, not even in the US. No, not even Santa. Nice lights though.
Hannukah sameach, pals. Don't let 'em tell you you can't glow.

Time for my top books of 2025! MOST of them were published in 2025, but not all. My list has 10 fiction books, and 1 nonfiction (because it was the only nonfiction book I read this year so there was no real ranking, but it really meant a lot to me). Posting as I go, fiction alphabetical by title.

Thread. This has been worrying me too.
I'm not worried about people being abusive to their AI chatbots, especially men being sexually abusive, from the POV of "AI chatbots are a real sentient guy being harmed", but I feel like the way you repeatedly learn to treat something that can't say no *must* bleed into how you treat humans, right?

Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.

Too many (worked customer service in lower Manhattan) but I do fondly remember the time I sold a movie ticket to Jodie Foster. I had to work SO HARD to keep my cool.
I also had a chat with Malcolm McDowell while I made him tea. I mostly just agreed with whatever he said to keep him talking. 😭🥰

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

I finally did it, you guys, I finished the update to my fucking writing app and pushed it live 😭
The period of stagnation with StimuWrite is over, I have a lot of plans and I'm hoping to grow the app to make a more sustainable side-income with it 🤞
The base app will always be free though!

ALL OF THIS.
We have so much when we have each other, when we help & ask for help from our community. genAI cannot touch the deep well of knowledge, generosity, & creativity we have in this community.
Tech bros just want to convince us that has no value. One more lie to pad their pockets.

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

I want to post my top ten books of 2025 (I have a fantastic list) but I have an article to write first so I am saving that as a reward for after. But hopefully tomorrow afternoon I will?
