If you want me to respect your rights as an author, maybe don't use AI bullshit to make a barbie pack of your heroine.

Coincidentally, today I received two publishing contracts (small, but very cool). Both included anti-AI clauses that I had insisted upon. These (see below) are suggested by the Australian Society of Authors, but applicable anywhere. Use them. Protect your rights as a creator. @asauthors.bsky.social

Just because artists stopped commenting negatively on your "AI-generated" slop doesn't mean we stopped caring. It's either because they don't want to boost it in the algorithm, they've realized you don't care what they think and stopped caring abut you, or they've already muted or blocked you.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

A powerful #quote by Actor #DenzelWashington #Toxic people can't do anything that you don't allow or give them the power to do. You can let them have "rent-free" space in your #mind & ruin your day and or #mood, OR cut them from your life. Only we can make the decision of how we handle toxic people

Waiting for crew to take us aboard ship. It’s warm and humid, so I had a smoothie, then a cocktail.

Got the video from last night’s dinner performance. They played our song, so we danced. And then when we went to leave, they played it again and demanded an encore.

@cheriepriest.com I’m so sorry about Greyson. I lost my old man dog at 17, and it was so hard. All the hugs and good memories.
