You look for cracks everywhere to exploit against fascists. Period. I think some people seem confused about the state of things in this country.

I don't know how to file for the book I was a contributor in, but you will lose nothing if you file your name here if you found even a hint that your written work is on LibGen.
My out of print book was in there... and was potentially used to train Meta AI. I LOATHE generative AI with a passion.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Why I keep begging library workers to stop trying to counter book bans with parents rights. This is extremely concerning and a direct violation of the Library Bill of Rights and Code of Ethics.
The New Hampshire government just made libraries a lot less safe for everyone, but particularly for kids

New law to make New Hampshire library records available to parents • New Hampshire Bulletin
Borrowing records at public libraries have long been confidential under New Hampshire state law, even for the parents of a child borrower. A new law changes that.

Google automatically opted me into Google Gemini, their AI 'assistant'. The only way I could turn it off was switching to Google Assistant and then turning THAT off.
I don't want to use your AI bloatware. I've already switched to duckduckgo for a search engine bc it lets me turn off the AI results.

My local small-town public library had the most deliberately depressing and hidden Pride Month display. I didn't take a picture, but I wish I had... because it was colorless and devoid of joy.
It's just depressing how my existence is apparently too political now. 🙄

And since it's Pride Month, I'll just mention that these books are packed full of queer characters and relationships (bi, lesbian, nonbinary, ace, and poly rep included), and would fit perfectly into a Pride stack at any bookstore or library!
They were also written by a Korean American author (me!)
