Libraries aren't just books. They provide gathering places, free internet, and programs like story hours and classes and films. Using your library demonstrates to your local government its importance to your community and can affect funding decisions.

Having one of those moments where I’m like “I need an adultier adult”
Except this only works if I make the effort so I’m stuck.

People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

Do you guess ever think about Stede saying “you weren’t a dick, life’s a dick” bc he understands that the shitty things Ed did weren’t an effort to be shitty. He was traumatized and coping poorly and instead of saying “yeah you were kind of a dick” Stede was like, “nah, you just had a bad run”

All of this is true, and in addition, when we stop using AI art, it stops using water and electricity, but if we stop using human artists, the human still exists and has needs that must be met.
An AI datacenter devours enough water and electricity for a whole city of people each day.
A human artist only takes up as much electricity and water as any single human.
This is why, even if we settle copyrights and such, AI will always be immoral. Just pay a human.

Telling myself it’s the right choice because it’s the one I’m making. Sitting here being indecisive and fretting about too many variables I don’t have control over isn’t beneficial. Looking forward to this new chapter.

I had a 5 hour drive today and both audiobooks I gave a shot were just kind of fine :/ I’ll probably finish both but I was hoping for something a little more entertaining.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Uprooting life AGAIN because things need to change. I’m so tired, but I really feel like it’s gonna be okay for the first time in a while and that is so comforting.
