Fucking hell. I know nobody’s in greasy overalls for you to fetishise, Labour, but this is still an industry full of working people on marginal incomes that you are voluntarily destroying, you dumb tech-fetishising goons. You just sold us for corporate strip-mining. Up the workers.

All creative industries are rapidly closing off to anyone without means (or a wealthy and endlessly forgiving partner). And AI ….. etc etc
The reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it.
The problem is always, always money.

My problem with things like these is that working-class writing ends up being literary stories about how dreary it is being working class. They're not interested in examining the working class through the lens of fantasy, for example.

The implications of this are horrendous. Please write to Lisa Nandy, your MP and sign the statement.
While the UK government considers upending the law to allow AI companies to train on people’s creative work without a license, our statement opposing unlicensed training just hit 38,000 signatures.

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
