I wish we could edit posts so that when we find out about these things, we could improve ours feeds.

Aww, thank you Ceci!

HA I love that.

Yeah, I can see that. It’s been so hard to break the habit of opening those and doom scrolling, especially when so much doom keeps happening. 😖 But I don’t feel good about sharing art in those places anymore so there’s less and less of a point in giving them my attention.

Actually HC gets half of that, so the author gets $1250.

I want it.

This is my newest setup! It’s going to be a shrimp tank; I have red rilis coming from a local breeder soon. Excited to see this tank grow out/fill in!

I honestly thought our industry would be one of the few bastions that would refuse to become a part of this soulless machine. I was wrong.

Like, who is really going to want to accept $1250 so a robot can create books in their style? And put them out of work? It’s an insult to even be asked.

Really. I’m so disheartened. What are we going to do? Are all publishers going to head this way? Could we mount enough resistance to make them rethink?
