Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.
We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.
For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:

So cathartic. Just decided it's time to vote with my actions. And I'm voting to not have anything to do with the Muskrat. Nuff is nuff! So, goodbye #Twitter profile of old -- or X or whatever other dumbarse name -- and hello to the rational, the beautiful, the worthy. Let's chat #books and #writing!

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.
That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

What can artists, editors, reviewers, critics and commentators actually DO about the cynical use of AI for profit? We're trying to come up with some ways to boycott or protest this stuff, but the waters are so murky. Suggestions?

Copy editing a fun surrealist novel at the mo, so my style sheet and dictionary browsing history are just ace.
Turns out that 'shithead' is one word. As is 'deadbeat' (noun, not the adjective), and the dictionary doesn't have 'bum hole'. Guess I'll have to wing it on that one

Well, this is just making me even happier that I don't work in Google Docs. And a big reminder to all #writers and #editors to back up your work in multiple places! Yeesh.

Dear Cumberland City Council of Western Sydney #Australia, if you could dick off with your small-minded regressive bigoted book-banning of children's books with same-sex parents in it, that would be just DANDY.
