I believed in this work when I began helping support the website nearly a decade ago as much as I believe in it now as @noemipress.bsky.social co-publisher w/ @suzig.bsky.social.

Why?

The author voices are necessary, vital, & subversive.

A gift to help bring poetry into the world.

I will drop a celebrity like a hot potato if they're transphobic.

No one is free unless we are all free. When you start to add caveats to who gets autonomy and freedom, we've already lost the battle.

Northwestern University's law school is named after the Pritzkers. @jbpritzker.bsky.social you going to do anything about this?
Among the provisions are ones agreeing to the Trump administration's definition of sex as "biological sex" and agreeing "not perform hormonal interventions and transgender surgeries ... on any individual under the age of 18 years old, effective immediately."

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Anytime someone brings up A I to you, it's perfectly valid to respond with "oh yeah, that thing that convinces kids to kill themselves"
In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …

The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:

Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.
OpenAI says teen's 'misuse' of ChatGPT is to blame for his suicide, because he broke the TOU: 'Users must comply with OpenAI's Usage Policies, which prohibit the use of ChatGPT for suicide or self-har...
The lawyer presenting Adam Raine's family calls the response "disturbing" and I have to agree.
