Even if all you're doing is fandom stuff that "doesn't give JKR a penny," IT DOES THOUGH. It keeps her legacy alive. It keeps her work popular. Which likely makes someone somewhere give her a few pennies going forward.

Queer-friendly fantasy writers exist in abundance. Please come find us!🌈📚🪐

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

She wrote a banger of a letter outlining Microsoft’s active complicity in Palestinian genocide, it’s reproduced in the article and it’s really worth a read

I'm going to do a thread of Palestinians folks in Gaza who need help. Prices are skyrocketing.

I keep coming back to a bit in one of the Expanse novels where a character giving another one aid says that "It's just a drop in the bucket, but that's how buckets get filled."

It all adds up.

If you use ai you intellectually and mentally lazy. That’s all. You are lazy.

Ai makes art free. No. AI robs you of learning how to do something. In learning how to do something you develop your voice. You are asking ai to speak for you because you are too lazy to face yourself

do you ever feel like you are really good at your job then someone tells you actually you're failing and too mean and it feels like everything you've been doing is a lie and that person is also your boss
