This book shakes me. If these are your people, let them know they will never stand alone in facing White supremacist hate:

Black people, Jews, Latines, Muslims, LBG*Transgender*+ , Asian Americans, women of all shades.

Not here, not now, not ever!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all!

My respect for this dude keeps climbing.

YouTube video by NFL Bad Bunny's Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

I just rebalanced my first poetry collection. I added newer poems & made as much space for urban verse as for material about a city sensibility confronting the natural world.

Much of it has been tested by publication in top magazines. It’s in fine shape.

I’ve almost 30,000 followers.

Publishers…?

The why to your ? also has more to do w/the culture of writers: both the respect & disrespect of our craft.

Too many see writing as just words & bc everyone can speak (& most can read/write) there is an inherent bias that anyone can do it, esp w/fics.

It’s unfair, but a hidden part of the convo.

I’m not as passionate about it as you seem to be 👀, but I don’t disagree w/you that fic writers who want to monetize should be able to do so.

I also feel there are ways to do that, just not on Ao3.

🫂🫂🫂

I personally don’t see it as a moral difference. I think the main thing is if a writer is going to do that, it shouldn’t be through Ao3 and like sites.

I also feel that if you have an original concept that is currently in fic form, a writer can make a book out of it to earn money. Even short form.

Do I know any other visual artists on here? I have a bunch of exhibition space left for SMUTCLUB and am looking for people who want to show/sell their art!

Fanfiction is a derivative of copyrighted work. If Ao3 makes itself into a vehicle for fic writers to get paid for their works, they risk themselves and the writers being sued by the copyright holders.

Legally fanfic is protected by fair use, but once folks are getting paid it gets murky legally.

That is so precious! I love it! 😂😂😂

I love that she is like "you are not going to cheat my baby in the servers" 😂

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
