Woop! I have been "selected to participate in Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)'s Kindle Translate beta" which is Amazon's new AI-powered translation service, and apparently they'd "love to hear" what I think about this!
Well, they're going to hear it. Whether they will love it...

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Pay editors.
Pay artists.
Learn how to self edit if you canโt afford an editor.
Use a photo editor (without ai) and make a stock photo look nice!!
AI is lazy and *most* people will appreciate the effort youโve put into your book and cover!!

Again, in America we do not have enough fascists to fascism.
We do have enough nice white people who would like those people gone as long as they don't know them.
We do have enough nice white people who will abandon *anyone* rather than risk any bit of what they have.
This understanding is vital.

LOL you gotta hand it to South Korea for gifting Trump a Silla dynasty crown. For those that don't know; that dynasty fell to financial instability, incredibly high taxes, wealth inequality and widespread rebellion against their king. Trump is too dumb to understand this is a prophecy and President Lee is basking in this moment, deservedly.

I loved the heck out of this series, and this is a fantastic deal. This is the first trilogy of an ongoing series of trilogies, with a different couple the focus of each trilogy. Also, these definitely aren't horror books, they're m/m paranormal mysteries/romances with fabulous queer rep throughout.

My challenge was that they were all the SAME thing, and I'd assumed that would be filtered out as an option, since there's nothing to tell FROM anything else (aka, no point for comparison). (I did get one right, but I was assuming that both options would appear at some point.)

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025
I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!
Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship
Silence is compliance!

Yeah no this is a bad idea.
Keeping silent will just make them think "ho they say nothing so it's alright then, we can apply that!"
Talking, messaging the moderators and generally being very LOUD about it is better.
Also keep listening and supporting NSFW creators as they are the ones impacted now.

Now I'm getting conflicting reports about whether the Rapture will be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and, look, I know that TECHNICALLY no man knows the hour of His coming and all, but if we could actually pin this down on the schedule it'll help me plan the rest of my week, thanks

The new hotness is review spammers using "AI" to synopsize one's new novel to make it look they read your book and can offer you a useful service

the ai sludge that buckaroo authors are now endlessly sent by robots summarizing their books and then offering 'promotional services' is very annoying, but i did have a good laugh that the made up name some dang computer came up with to sound like a real editor was HARPER COLLINSWORTH

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.
But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read โ including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster โย you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!
It's easy! Check your library's website.

In the end, don't we all want the same thing?

Someone who bakes great bread in a crumbling seaside castle filled with indifferent cats, inquisitive ghosts, and secret libraries hidden inside libraries?
