This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

I’ve said this before, but a huge function of our carceral system is resource extraction from exploited communities, and that includes the fees, commissary, and essentials people send to their loved ones, not to mention the time, attention, energy, etc.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

We keep coming back to his but society thirsts for Surf Dracula. 22-episode seasons. Monsters-of-the-week. High camp teen dramas. Cowboys who know martial arts. Shows where the plot is just 'handsome guy has a cool car.'
We must rebuild the CW.

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

everyone should read Tessa's @fansplaining.bsky.social essay! It's so so so so good and gets deeply into the nitty-gritty of writing original fiction and IP fiction and fanfiction. You will love it.
Since quotes are going around from @readingtheend.bsky.social's excellent @reactorsff.bsky.social piece today, here's the full essay I wrote last month on fandom, trad publishing, IP, and navigating it all from a more personal perspective:
"Power doesn’t care about joy. Ultimately, it only cares about value, which means money. Trad publishing loves fanfic right now because it sees dollar signs instead of kudos."
In our new piece, @tessagratton.bsky.social tackles the messy intersections between pro entertainment and fans right now:

Bob the Drag Queen's book HARRIET TUBMAN: LIVE IN CONCERT is a piece of art that should put Bob in conversations with the MacArthur committee bc genius is the only word I can use to describe it.
Speculative comedy and new black surrealism dont even begin to cover it.
