Happy Pride Month! The modern conception of gender and sexuality is quite recent, but we must not deny that academics have always placed their heterosexual vision on the past, and have tried to deny possible evidence of non-heteronormative people when evidence has been found. Some examples 🧵🔽:

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work! Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!

These are straight up gestapo tactics from ICE. They’re going after Democrats trying to scare them or provoke a response to justify a further crackdown.

Whenever I see "AI ethics concerns" it's always crap like "should Claude have a social security number?!" and not "should OpenAI all be in jail for marketing ChatGPT like it's your friend and designing it to prioritize continuous engagement above all else?"

Did I ever share the new Whimsy Station stickers? I already started adding them to orders because I figure we could all use some extra glitter right now! These will be added to all orders till July (at least. I may keep using them for much longer.) 🧶🏳️‍🌈

This is beautful. And so simple. Queer people are scared. This is all you have to do as a cis het person to help take some of that fear away.

The not posting on the internet part is VERY vital. And I know in recent years a culture of "if you're not posting you're not doing anything" has bubbled up, but for real guys. You need to be thinking. And planning. And never putting it in writing on the internet. Protect people. No matter what.

These feckers have already made off with my last almost-five-decades' worth of creative output to try to "teach" their hopped-up answering machine how to fake writing. If anyone ever breathed the suggestion to me that I should willingly use that soi-disant "tool"...it would not go well for them.

If you’ve ever visited American Science and Surplus, in person at one of the stores or on the site at www.sciplus.com and been delighted by the vast array of stuff available, please consider tossing a bit to the gofundme! http://gofund.me/4aa... youtu.be/NzBy21zrZMg...

Want to be clear that my negative stance on AI stuff is specifically the generative-theft-and-plagiarism-machine, and the people driving it. The scientific research and math tools lumped under the same name aren’t nearly as sexy to newsfolk looking for reactions.

I go through waves of grief and I'm angry about it overall... But our species has always made art. I've always made art. When someone makes a piece of art that reaches me in some way, I feel connected to them. It's the continuation of a beautiful hominid tradition, since before we were human!

I am begging people to slow down, take a breath, and understand there’s a huge difference between “I personally dislike how this character or topic was handled in this media” and “the writers fucked it up!”. Because these things are NOT the same.

Fellow editors: If I were to put together a brief course on how to spot AI writing and outlining and then walk through the steps of how to ensure it's AI writing and not, say, an ESL or neurodivergent writer, is that something you'd be willing to pay a few bucks for?
