Naseem Jamnia (they/them) THE GLADE OUT NOW!

As they deliberately attack cultural heritage sites in Iran, the US/Israel is attacking universities in Lebanon. Across the region, Israel is exporting its genocide in Gaza 2 other countries because no 1 who could stopped them from decimating the culture, identity, livelihoods & existence of a ppl

This is a RED ALERT to take action as soon as you can and to spread the word so others can as well.

Please reach out to your reps if you're in Idaho and tell them what this bill will do: legislature.idaho.gov/legislators/...

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 URGENT ACTION ON BOOK BAN LEGISLATION FOR IDAHO. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Please read the full thread.

Legislators have proposed yet another bill that would undermine the purpose of libraries statewide, and it would not only eschew the Miller Test, it'd create TWO CLASSES of access.

The description of what PCR is is atrocious but the application is hella cool and feels like a OH DUH moment

Really hoping we can get Hailey out of debt soon and help her to get back to work.

Hailey is doing incredible work on transness, feminism and liberation, and her mom's cancer has derailed her a lot.

I'd be super grateful if you could spare a few bucks. <3

I mean, let’s be real here: none of the senate democrats ACTUALLY care about kids in Iran. Or adults in Iran. they barely care about kids in the US, let alone across the world.

I WISH I COULD YELL ABOUT TRANS BOOKS ALL DAY, but alas, I do have other responsibilities.

LOL “glad to clear that up” is sending me!!

Day two of my under-loved #TransRightsReadathon recommendations is OBVIOUSLY about small press novellas! Because what could be more satisfying during a readathon than a stack of novellas?

Please help Mohammed's son Jamal survive Israel's genocide, which has left him starving & in critical condition. Jamal has diabetes, asthma, and injuries from an IDF attack. He urgently needs insulin & treatment:

What Israel/US is doing to Iran is horrifying but it doesn’t compare to what Israel, with full US support, is doing to Lebanon and Palestine. Not even close x.com/mamoun_linda...

"How could a life that is threatened at every moment and from every direction be called 'ordinary'?

Ordinary for whom? Ordinary where? If we look around us, which people in our neighboring countries actually have an 'ordinary life?' What things, which people, have taken this ordinary life hostage?"

'Iran Is Not Gaza': Read Arundhati Roy's Scathing Speech on the US-Israeli War Exclusive: The award-winning Indian novelist warns that the world is on the brink of nuclear calamity and economic collapse, and laments her own government's gutlessness.

Arundhati Roy empties the clip!

thank you both!!! I’ll reach out to Cat and see about throwing my hat in the ring (or ms in the slush pile, as it were)

Very same. I'm still going to write no matter what -- the writing is a given -- but PUBLISHING has so many costs (not monetary) that my mental health accounts have started to tip over from red into colours never perceived by human eyes.

This has been pointed out many times (including by Evan!), but it bears repeating that this is the same playbook used to sow suspicion on vaccinations and the existence of climate change.

I, too, would like to know!! I mean, I guess we could all flood them with angry emails telling them to get the fuck out of here preemptively… but I hate doing free labor 🫠

Interesting point!

I sent the survey July 7, 2024.

Since then: executive orders against DEI (Jan 2025) & many other despicable, blatantly messed up things.

Some who would quietly make racist decisions now do so with pride.

Perspective is more important than ever.

Emptied both barrels on em. Respect!
"And so, from the bottom of my underpaid, deeply creative heart: Fuck you."

Claude cannot actually feel, it can't think, it doesn't have opinions, it isn't self aware, it doesn't have context outside the immediate window you are using it with. By asking for its comment on war crimes you are legitimizing the idea that it can be used autonomously or for war at all. Stop it.

Stop doing this. Stop asking Generative AI for its opinion on current events. It cannot have opinions on anything. bsky.app/profile/chro...

Okay real talk from both of you, authors I admire—worth applying/the money?? I’ve had not one, not two, count ‘em FOUR projects on sub since 2023 (despite QILWA’s accolades) and I honestly am at a loss if it’s me or the industry or what. I write pretty nontraditional stuff tho

Writers take note

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.
