I read 1984.
And Fahrenheit 451.
And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale.
And The Giver.
And The Road.
And The Lottery.
And The Parable of the Sower.
And The Hunger Games.
I know what I’m seeing.

the demand for yassification of authors, a class traditionally allowed to look like freakazoids, is an assault on me personally
I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

Consider the attack on
Public Broadcasting.
Right-wingers, w/their
boners for autocracy,
say they hate communists
as they undermine
communities,
&
say they hate socialists
while butchering society.
Funneling all the money
to the top 1%'ers has no
appeal to most of humanity.
