It's World Mental Health day today.
Lately, I've been having a major ongoing wobble that almost got seriously bad the other night.

We are not trivialising LLMs.
Copyright theft is not trivial.
Environmental damage is not trivial.
Unreliability is not trivial.
Risk to human cognition is not trivial.
Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

What an excellent idea to help neurodivergent writers navigate the publishing industry
With the current climate of misinformation and fear-mongering, there couldn't be a better time for this.
Excited to form @divergent-paths.bsky.social with @shonak.bsky.social
We have big plans, and we're ready to listen to *all* neurodivergent people across the publishing industry.

This has had quite the journey to publication. Want stories about neurodivergent people finding one another in a world trying to limit them, writing *by* and autistic person.
