Disabled and neurodivergent folks have always made art, so when you use them as a shield to defend AI and say the “need” it, you’re an asshole on top of a thief. Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day!

as an example, someone who recently disagreed with me about using ai for writing told me one of his reasons for supporting it was that it's useful for autistic people who otherwise struggle

he didn't know I am autistic and to his credit he did rethink this particular angle after I replied

this book has one of the most unique character dynamics I’ve ever read. don’t miss out!!

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work!

Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!

Awesome, thanks for sharing!!

#queerbooks #bookrecs #booksky

just got it, can't wait to dive in!!

Amplitudes: stories of queer and trans futurity edited by Lee Mandelo

Forest euphoria: the abounding queerness of nature by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian

mini book haul🤩

José Esteban Muñoz’s work has had a huge impact on the way I understand queerness and I’m so excited for Amplitudes.

Forest Euphoria popped up as a “related read” and it’s giving Staying with the Trouble vibes so I had to grab it😌

#amplitudes #foresteuphoria #queerbooks #bookrecs

a pile of books by Hailey Piper, showing The Worm and His Kings, its sequel Even the Worm Will Turn, the trilogy's conclusion, Song of the Tyrant Worm, and a standalone book Your Mind is a Terrible Thing

Somehow we're about to hit Pride month! 🌈

Which unfortunately means Off Limits Press is about to close down. May 31st is your last chance to get my cosmic horror WORM trilogy or my space horror standalone in print or ebook.

After that, they'll only be available in audio until they find new pubs.

Now you’ve got me over here counting my teeth (also 32🦷✨)

Nancy Mace: I want our kids to learn about a-e-i-o-u instead of l-g-b-t-q. Zoe Rose Bryant: Hi, pre-k teacher here. No need to worry, Nancy. It's in our curriculum to cover all the letters. This week we're working on s-t-f-u.

The perfect response.

I love that the bee is named Waffles

One week until the release of Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity! We’ve had some amazing feedback so far, and I can’t wait for everyone to read it.

Bonus: we’ve got a few events lined up, some with me and some with various contributors—so if you’re nearby, check ‘em out ✨🖤

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

"She probably doesn't mean me"

I do.

Just watched the second episode of season 2 of Last of Us and I’M SORRY WHAT DID THEY JUST DO

NOT OKAY

Tumblr post that reads: kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Saw this and thought my oomfs' feeds could use this

So if I am getting this right:
Thursday the librarian of Congress was fired.
Friday the copyright office rushed out a draft report suggesting genAI training on copyrighted works shouldn’t be legal.
Saturday the head of the copyright office is fired.

Mood board with images including dead flowers, books with tea, a girl in a mirror, and hands cupped around a candle

Grad student Leto remembers his life all wrong. When bodies start piling up—including his own—his investigation leads him to a secret society that abuses an ancient power for financial gain. That power has a voice, and it speaks to Leto: some people deserve to be eaten.

STARLING HOUSE x WAYWARD CHILDREN

Historian Vivian meets Elodie, a memory keeper who can free the past from plants, to investigate a century-old disappearance. They find more than expected: a monstrous memory, and an inescapable connection.
