We're watching the desperate clawing back of a prior age that doesn't know it's dead yet.
They've already lost, and they know it, and they will do everything to deny it. But the truth remains: with each day they fade more and more from the world.
Don't despair, the world to come is better.

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped...
yeah.
yeah.

This is the strategy, this is exactly it right here why they’re shoving AI so hard into education right now.
Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

Tattoo artist: the only Q that truly annoys me is “won’t that look gross when you’re old?”
bc body shaming, ageism & misogyny all wrapped into one.
Other Q’s that are fine but just repetitive:
“does it hurt?”
“aren’t you scared you’ll make a mistake?”
“have you ever tattooed someone’s junk?”

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

If I had UBI? I would still be tattooing because I love it and it’s a vocation not a job. But I’d be able to choose the pieces I’m the most excited for & in my preferred style; I’d be able to do more paintings and personal work; and I’d donate more services and volunteer time to community stuff.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Some great advice and insights in this thread. I will add that it’s a huge struggle for an introverted author. Publishers nowadays do minimal marketing (outside of a few mega mass market authors). If you want your work seen you have to constantly push yourself out there. +
Since we’re talking about books and money, I’ll also talk specifically to new occult authors, because I watch new people go through this every single season: your first book might change your life, but almost surely not in the way you think.

Great little thread about books and piracy.
🧵
🧵
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
