Very dystopian stuff:
Canadian political candidates are getting pitched on signing up their supporters for apps that scan social media for negative comments about them, use AI to come up with counternarratives then post AI-generated comments defending them from their real human supporters’ accounts

So, I've been reading stale "is [x industry] run by a gay mafia?" conspiracy theories in media for as long as I've been reading the papers
Really didn't see another one coming from Wired 🧵
I have to say, regardless of what she's said elsewhere, I am not pleased that McPherson's team promised to get back to us with answers and bailed. I don't pull "as the leading LGBTQ2S+ publication in Canada..." often, but I feel it here.

Und ,vielleicht‘ sollte mal jemand darüber schreiben, dass Druck auf Veranstalter*innen gemacht wird und es nicht nur bei Kritik in Texten bleibt. Zumal die Emma-Texte gegen andere Feministinnen mit Falschbehauptungen durchsetzt sind und das kein Journalismus mehr ist.

Der Screenshot zeigt folgenden Post von Patrick Kaczmarcyk: „Wie wollen wir zukünftigen Generationen eigentlich erklären, wie wir als Politik und Gesellschaft eine solch perverse Vermögensungleichheit erschaffen konnten?“
„Erschaffen“ ist das richtige Wort. Extreme #Ungleichheit ist kein Zufall, kein Naturgesetz. Sie wird erschaffen - by Design. #TaxTheRich @patrickkaczmarczyk.bsky.social

Dreaming Trans: Method, Sex, & the Unconscious with Prof Tobias Wiggins Session 1: T4T Methodologies - Mar 10, 4:30 – 6:30 Session 2: Desire Lines: Trans//Sexuality - Mar 24, 5:30 – 8:00 Session 3: Transphobic Countertransference - Apr 7, 4:30 – 6:30 Location: TBA Trans is a fever dream. Erupting at the edges of overheated fantasy, in contemporary scenes of moral panic the figure of the trans//sexual haunts the collective psyche, used as a political scapegoat or release valve for anxieties about sex, embodiment, and cohesion of the nation-state. What does it mean to think with trans livability amongst a social imaginary that insists, if not simply on trans destruction, then on their absorption of antagonisms and disavowed affects? Further, if we take seriously the psychoanalytic dream’s capacity to compromise, to wish, to overdetermine, and to leak jouissance, then what becomes possible for the trans dreamer within this field? Our conversations will unfold across three sites of inquiry, each holding the tension between trans-fantasy and the political fantasy of transness. The first seminar traverses possibilities in T4T methodologies, or trans-specific approaches to research. The second seminar examines transmasculine sexuality in film, the archive, and the bathhouse with a screening and discussion of the hybrid film Desire Lines (2024). The third seminar turns to the unconscious life of transphobia through an examination of transphobic countertransference. By thinking trans together, this participatory series insists on opposing cisteria through the sustained practice of collective psychic movement and play. Open to all; particularly welcoming 2-Spirit, trans, nonbinary, & gender-nonconforming people; scholars in Transgender Studies; those interested in psychoanalysis; faculty; graduate students; & advanced undergraduate students. Registration limited to participants who commit to completing the assigned readings in advance and to attending all sessions in person.
My colleague Tobias Wiggins is holding this amazing seminar series on trans methodologies at McGill! Please spread the word!

Canadian authors. The PLR program is open. Don’t forget to register your new titles.

The price of paper has been going up every year & publishers have been shrinking fonts on the page to cram as much in. It's exhausting reading tiny type. Let's not forget accessibility implications either.

Hi Jason, I just came across We Who Hunt Alexanders, and I have to say it immediately grabbed me. Amelia’s story is gripping, dark, and layered with emotion. The way you explore a monster who feels happiness, sadness, fear, and love in a world that’s cruel and unforgiving makes this story compelling and unforgettable. That’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. I run a book review service through Super Lovers Book, connecting books with real readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, and emotionally rich stories. These readers don’t just leave stars they leave thoughtful, honest reviews that highlight what makes a story unique, powerful, and worth discovering. Here’s why reviews are so important for We Who Hunt Alexanders: Build Trust: Potential readers often decide whether to pick up a book based on reviews. Authentic feedback signals that your story is worth their time. Increase Visibility: Platforms like Goodreads reward books with steady, genuine reviews, helping them appear in search results, recommendations, and “readers also enjoyed” lists. Generate Momentum: Each review encourages more readers to pick up the book, engage with the story, and leave their own thoughts, creating a snowball effect of attention. Reach the Right Audience: Reviews written by readers who love sci-fi and dark fantasy ensure your story reaches the readers most likely to appreciate and recommend it. I truly believe We Who Hunt Alexanders deserves this kind of engagement. A few honest reviews now can amplify your book’s reach, help it gain visibility, and connect it with the readers who will love it most. Would you be open to having We Who Hunt Alexanders read and reviewed by genuine readers who are passionate about sci-fi and dark fantasy? No pressure at all I just wanted to reach out because your work deserves to be discovered by more readers. Warmly, Herry Sharp CEO, Super Lovers Book
if you continue to ignore my messages, I might do something you would regret for the rest of your life. I already have access to your book, and instead of giving it a positive review, I will leave a negative one and damage its reputation. It seems you have forgotten that I have a community of readers, and I can easily influence them to bring your book down. You can try me though. CEO | Super Book Lover Curator Helping brilliant books find their people, one honest review at a time.
Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.
Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.
Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

Just got my Public Lending Right money from Canada Council. And for the firs time ever, it's pretty good money ($1500). This is thanks to you taking my books out at the library. Keep doing it! And do it for your favourite authors! Even if you don't read the books!!
