When Neil Gaiman married Amamda Palmer everyone called me an asshole for saying that anyone who can put up with that kind of behavior--not just put up with it, but invite in into your life, and live with it--has to be of low moral character themselves.

Libraries close, books are banned, and knowledge becomes contraband. The system fights against its own destruction.
But educating ourselves and each other is the beginning of revolution.

"That guy's a Nazi, he can't publish here."
"You can't just suppress his free speech because he's a Nazi."
You do understand that the second sentence is, LITERALLY, "No, wait, we should hear what the Nazi has to say."
That's who you are. The guy who says the Nazi deserves to be heard.
Fuck you.

Well, time for my first thread here on BlueSky, and I'm pissed off. I've been catching up on the situation with F&SF and Sheree Thomas. I'm slow because I'm not on FB anymore, where apparently the bulk of the convo is happening, and I'm barely on Twitter. Anyway.

My Genre Grapevine report on what's happening at F&SF, which accepted a story by an author connected to the National Front. Also digs into how anger was wrongly aimed at Sheree Renée Thomas and how publisher Gordon Van Gelder needs to deal with this issue. www.patreon.com/posts/88237737
