This is one you do not want to miss! And I’m not saying that just because the @onebrightbook.bsky.social crew got to chat about it. Jewett called it her favorite among her works. Her subtle examinations of urban vs rural life, queerness, and the ecological landscape she knew well are stunning.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.
