Promote your book, film, project, game, jewelry, comic, whatever you came up with in your beautiful imagination. I am doubling down on ordering books from the library, watching films/tv, escaping through what artists create. Tell us about it. Promote it without shame. Please. Now more than ever. 💚

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

“boycott the super bowl because bad people also watch football” reminds me of people telling me “don’t learn jiu jitsu because bad people also do jiu jitsu” bro, you cannot let the fascists take away your small joys, that’s literally what they want from you

Vought was just confirmed by the Senate, with all Republicans voting for. All Dems voted against. In addition to believing that porn should be outlawed, he believes that any trans info is porn. He also drafted the porn "age-verification" laws now being passed in state after state. Do the math.

anti-trans and anti-porn rhetoric are identical. both… frame as “protecting the vulnerable” erase personal agency from the people involved weaponize “concerned parents” use regret narratives are based in moral panic, fueled by misinformation and pseudoscience result in censorship laws

Not just the end of American science but the purposeful destruction of post secondary education. This will decimate colleges and force an industry wide collapse just as admissions decline due to falling birth rates. The end goal is to destroy economic mobility for women and people of color.

There are several upsetting things about this (advance compliance, emulating Russia, superfluous labeling that will cause problems, etc), but I'm EXTRA annoyed at this fumble bc a low YA imprint could be very cool, and instead it's a step away from the fucking Hay's code.

submitted 19 days ago • 2 comments

this is called obeying in advance and it’s BAD, ACTUALLY. make no mistake: labels like these are not for readers; they’re for adults who want to control content. this is the voluntary facilitation of censorship.

I also am gonna point out this "mature 16+" label shit is a very shitty thing to do to authors. Any queer author who's sold Russian subrights will tell you that the choice between publishing with a label or not at all (and therefore not getting books to the readers who need them) is heavy as hell.

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

For people who forget to use alt text, Christopher Rufo has started including accessibility efforts in the same pejorative terms as DEI so if you don’t use alt text (and are perfectly capable of it) you’re on the side of Christopher Rufo

Trump and his oligarchs have swamped us with a slurry of destructive actions and gleeful abuse. The good news is that a backlash is growing with every passing day. We have to maintain hope, organize, and be ready when opportunities present themselves. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-backla...
