LRT that’s the reality of it like you can’t judge your past work as worst/best it was your best at that time and if it don’t stand up in your eyes that’s nothing to be ashamed of

I'll never understand "F*ck you, I got mine". What's the point of achieving glorious heights if you can't share that experience with others? It's just an empty existence. No point to it. "I got mine, now let's get you yours" will always be the more fulfilling option.

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

Know a notebook, laptop, or bathroom stall that could use a good zhuzhing? (It’s not vandalism if it’s ✨aesthetic✨) We’ve got just the thing: merch.ellipsus.com 50% of proceeds this month will go to @trevorproject.bsky.social, @aclu.org, and @translifeline.org. 🌈

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

Abolishing ICE is the centrist position here. It’s an illegal, extrajudicial force with no jurisdiction to stop or detain anyone. You’re just asking for the Gestapo to have clear labels. Fuck liberals dude, my god

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.

Elsewhere on the Internet I see someone being a conflicted about not finishing a book of mine, so let me make it easy for everyone: If you're not vibing with something I wrote, put it down and try something else! Not everything I write is going to work for everyone, and that's fine. Let it go!

Self-loathing hero who keeps trying to sacrifice themselves but always accidentally survives in a way that makes them look really badass, and now their friends are holding an intervention about their alleged death wish, but have completely the wrong idea about what kind of death wish is involved.

Bro, you can't take media that's fucking around with conventional tropes and "subvert" it by doing the most obvious twist. The most obvious twist on a 180 is the full 360, and now you're back where you started. You twisted all the way around to being conventional again.

I’ve seen that some writers are using AI to help them come up with ideas for their books. I’ll just use my imagination, like actual writers do.

Yup. "AI" should be understood primarily as a marketing term designed to impress people who have no understanding of (nor any real interest in understanding) the underlying tools and processes.

Lots of questions about Kobo, #kobowritinglife and how, when and why we are using AI. Putting "AI" in the same sentence as "authors", "books" or "publishers" makes a lot of alarm bells go off, and for good reason. 1/

Folks, please don’t post links to unlicensed merchandise in my mentions. I know it’s out there but I can’t do anything about it and I’d rather not see it. The only licensed merch is being sold by Worldbuilders to fund raise for charity. Link below.

I really hope the creators of King of The Hill as well as Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, and other names from Parks & Rec use their voices to honor Jonathan Joss and use their power to bring to light the horrendous hate crime that happened to him during Pride. So often, Natives are forgotten.

Some written media stirs your imagination with its eloquence; other written media strikes at your heart with its bluntness. And some lives rent-free in your brain because, shit, dude, those sure were some words in some kind of order.

D&D-based video games will let you play as a gnome, then include an NPC who's vocally racist against gnomes and not have a dialogue option to call them out on it because the writers forgot that gnome PCs exist. This exact scenario happens in multiple unconnected games spanning multiple publishers.

1. Alt text is always a kindness and also extends the audience for what you want to present. 2. Screenshot the material, then go to the original and copy the text with your cursor, post the screenshot, then paste the text into the ALT field. Super-simple and takes only a couple of seconds.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

I have low vision and I rely on alt text and image descriptions to provide context about images on platforms like BlueSky. If you don’t know how to write #AltText yet, I have several guides on my website that can show you how— take the #AltTextChallenge! veroniiiica.com/how-to-write... (1/10)

Speaking as the former president of a writers' organization that had to more than once extract payment for writers from failing publishers: yuuuuup. Also, the comment elsewhere that corporations are inherently sociopaths and never your friends? Yuuuuup.
