“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

It's so random to me that I've ended up on a couple of block lists on bluesky. I'm rarely even here, much less posting about things to get blocked over. 🙃 How did they even find me to think I was worth being put on a block list? Just bananas.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

I can't tell you how sad, exhausted & furious I am right now: The sapphic book community is facing another catfishing situation.

There's a pattern of obvious deception, but I want you to draw your own conclusions.

Never been a time in history where the good guys employed masked men to steal women and children off the streets and made them disappear, just FYI.

100% this. It's the anti-YouTube, and won't start auto-playing weird ads like even many tiers of Disney+ will now. Gutting PBS Kids funding while Google and YouTube roll on, ever more infected by ads and AI-generated content, is quite a telling reflection of our times here.
The PBS Kids app is one of the few things you can trust your kids to play around with on a computer. All the shows that you can stream are good and entertaining. Nothing positive comes from getting rid of this, they're just trying to make life worse for everyone www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

I have literally never seen a single example of a good use for chatgpt or any other LLM that can't be done by a human being using creativity, skill, and patience

if you're regularly using the world burning plagiarism machine, you're just admitting you're lazy, uncreative, unskilled and impatient

A new scam is threatening the sapphic book community: Scammers are creating rip-offs of existing books with the help of AI.

I have written a blog post explaining how to recognize red flags, a list of suspicious pseudonyms, and what we can do to help.

If you're anywhere near Glasgow please support Lindz and their fantastic book.
I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches.

If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.
