my catfish thriller WIP is at 30k, but I'm revising what I've written because it's a little more intricate than I anticipated. Hopefully this will make drafting the rest a little easier.

A win for copyright holders! This ruling found that using materials under copyright to train AI was not fair use.

One danger of embracing generative AI as a learning device and in language assistance is that you're letting the keepers of that AI have power over what you learn and how you write. It will be programmed with biases, unintentional but often quite intentional, that you will unknowingly adopt.

Steven Spielberg has spent his entire career warning us about the dangers of dinosaurs and Nazis and I personally think we should have brought back the dinosaurs instead

I was in 5th grade. It was winter and my lips were chapped. I quietly applied lip balm. My teacher walked over, started yelling and open-palmed whacked my back, repeatedly, like a spanking.

In 7th grade I read GO ASK ALICE. It was a diary of a woman's struggle with drug addiction. It had explicit sexual entries. I did my book report on it, which I read to the class. My teacher informed the librarian & the book was removed. That book kept me from making very bad choices later in life.

You can have your birth certificate amended to reflect your married name and/or your gender marker changes if they've been through the court. At least this is what I've read on various sites. Please investigate and do what is needed so the SAVE ACT doesn't erase your right to vote.

Let's not forget about this bullshit. Women with their husband's last name will not be eligible to vote if they do not have a matching birth certificate!

I can't stress how important it is to have friends who will gently urge you to write your next book while you wait for edits. I'm so grateful for @schwartzwords.bsky.social and @catebaumer.bsky.social for they are my pocket stones🖤

Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here? Promoting the book you wrote so people know it exists is supposed to be the end result of that. You’re fine. Just promote your book.

We saw this the first term. They are dangerous and do unconstitutional acts and no one does anything about it. It's like watching Gandalf the White fight with his tiny fucking sword instead of using his badass magic.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.
