Love how the last quote throws artists under the bus. There's still a book without a cover, but the cover is a big part of what entices someone to pick up the book in the first place!

Today, we remember and honor our trans siblings lost to violence.

We lift up their legacies by continuing the work to stem the tides of hatred, and create a world in which all trans people can survive and thrive.

Yeah, so I actually write books for people who want to read those books, not for people who go "I don't like reading, lemme ask the plagiarism robot for a summary".

Also, if you're even thinking about feeding my work into an AI for any reason? Kindly fuck off and never return.
Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.

As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

I am not aware of a single author who has a shortage of book ideas. Words, yes. Ways to make the ideas become a book, yes. But I've never met an author who doesn't have ideas just raining down all the damn time.

Your Infrequent #Horrorscope

Taking a chance on a new opportunity will lead to unexpected rewards…

So say “YES” when a friend asks you to drink from a new cask of Amontillado.

Say “YES” to swapping out that tired green ribbon around your neck for a fresh red one.

Say “YES” to The Invitation.

Fun fact about my least-read book, Cloti’s Song:

It has an on-page abortion (using meditation magic fueled in part by a potion made from radioactive sea slime)

I vowed to include this when Roe was killed and I stand by it.

This is how predators work. In the initial emails, he thinks he can still fuck her, and describes her willingness as:

* listened to the comments of a LEADING ECONOMIST IN THE FIELD about her presentation

* didn't object when he commented on her outfit

* let him whine about his marriage.
The sense I am getting through all of this is that Larry Summers used his position to get a substantially junior colleague to listen to him whine about his marriage, then tried to get her to “have a drink with him” and stormed off when she was like no thanks I have a presentation tomorrow.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit
