Another day on Bluesky, another small press with AI covers, another block
Probably a good time to remind folks that @transistance.press is a very "fuck AI" press.
Certainly better than hanging out there.

This is it. We'll get through by fighting for the vision of a better way to be, just like so many have done before us.
We are not alone in this fight. It's not that it will be easy, but hope will fuel us and keep us going.

Some might argue that hope will ruin a person by blinding them to the harshness of our world. But in this moment, I realized hope doesn’t blind anyone. It’s merely the name we give to our efforts as we try to shape a better world in the days to come.

Well, that's just lovely. Since itch isn't giving me money I'm trying to throw all my advertising at Amazon and it's caused barely any new sales on Amazon.
I know people hate Bezos, but Bezos isn't making his money off you supporting small independent authors. Meanwhile we need to pay rent somehow.

"This is where the fish lives" from Touch of Satan (it has a bunch of quotable lines)
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

I encourage every non-boricua/Puerto Rican who feels inclined to have any opinion whatsoever on the island, its status, and its diaspora to remember that shutting the fuck up is free, and that your time is always better spent reading about the colonial history of the island instead.

I think today's a good day to support indie authors who don't use AI.
And also to support editors, cover designers, artists, and book coaches who don't use AI and aren't running grift classes.

After having done my 5th estradiol injection, gotta say... they aren't bad. And this is coming from someone who for decades hasn't been able to look at a blood draw without feeling queasy.
A couple minutes and I'm done and sorted for a week. Very convenient and it's already making a big difference.
