Jewish advocacy for a one-state solution represents a form of Zionism that centers Jews in Palestine's future. Instead, anti-Zionist Jews must aim to accelerate the dismantling of Zionism both in Palestine and worldwide.

as a lesbian myself, i've been accused of "fetishizing" lesbians because people don't like that my female characters have large chests, are sexy, are sex workers, have sex, etc.
even though i have a diverse range of female characters, the fact that SOME of them have sex makes people uncomfortable.

Thats how that works. YOu do not use fucking AI. If anything, it is a bad business decision for you because the moment i realize your book has an AI cover, i WILL NOT buy it.

And again, since some indie authors havent gotten it through their skull yet:
YOU DO NOT
NEED
AI
TO MAKE
BOOK COVERD.
YOU DO NOT

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

When I say "the US gave up on feeding itself" that's what I mean, it's real bad.
At the risk of shameless self-promo, I talked about this a few months ago. It's a part of the food/ag problem that just isn't making it onto the news & it really should.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
