Unfortunately I won’t be able to make this protest today but I stand in solidarity with everyone whose work has been ripped off by LibGen to train Meta AI (including ten of mine) in breach of copyright and without recompense. #MetaBookThieves, #DoTheWriteThing #MakeItFair

@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social Thank you for raising the AI and ©️ issue on @bbcpm.bsky.social tonight. Existing copyright law is perfectly fit for purpose: if you use our work, we require recompense. Simple!

Westminster was my Meeting when I lived in London. Youth Demand were young people meeting peacefully. My heart goes out to Westminster Quakers, the young people arrested, and the two Quaker wardens whose home was invaded. We all have a right to peaceful protest. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

AABB stands with our trans members, friends, colleagues, heroes, and the countless trans Americans who will be affected by this needlessly cruel Executive Order from the Trump Administration. We are proud to do so alongside so many of our comrades in the fight against book bans.

Homophone corner. Just caught a snippet of a news report on Syria and in particular the Alawite influence on the Assad regime. Except what I first heard was “Isle of Wight”.

Happy Thanksgiving today to all those celebrating today. May your pies be the best you ever tasted. ( Here’s one of mine from ‘Pumpkin Soup’ which was inspired by the fall in New England.

Spotted near me. If anyone needs to get hold of Mr Chester Drawers (also operating under the curious nickname “Bedside” - probably best not to ask) this is the place to find him. 😆

Nearly up to 100 followers on here. A way to go to match my 4k on the blue bird but encouraging 😊. Nice to see librarians and teachers arriving as well as children’s book writers, illustrators, publishers and promoters of reading.
