Hey #BookSky does anyone have recs for: - AuDHD 12yo who likes Harriet Muncaster books - severely dyslexic, so needs something she'll enjoy & can read easily to keep her _liking_ reading - no graphic novels/comics, but illustrations = good - NOTHING REMOTELY SCARY This is so far out of my sphere

So in summary: there are multiple channels pumping out "sleep" videos for YouTube mimicking real content creators, even as far as how their voice sounds. That combined with YouTube algorithms will lower the income of real creators even if the AI video quality is not that great.

Really good discussion in the comments as well here

Enshittification will go on for long enough to make countless, maybe critical amount, of creative artists, illustrators, writers and generally content creators out of work. No everyone on the creative industry is a master with wildly distinguishable talent. There's bulk, and that's important.

It's not always that simple as "AI cannot be simultaneously useless AND a threat to creators". Let me give you an example. I like to listen YouTube videos when trying to sleep. There are a lot of creators who have superb content related to history, science and similar topics.

This is from 2023 but still relevant, sadly. There's too much lazy AI/LLM criticism that rests far too much on bad arguments that do not stand up to scrutiny. For example, AI cannot be simultaneously useless AND a threat to creators. redeem-tomorrow.com/the-average-...

Hey Bluesky, quick ask: If you've a copy of the book & have enjoyed it, please leave a quick capsule review of it here, at Lulu, & on any other social media that you may frequent. It's not easy to promote work when you self-publish, & word-of-mouth from readers carries a TON of weight. Thanks!

This is still true for your faves who write only short stories! Anthologies, collections, and even some magazines are eligible for all five of these!

been reminded a thing an artist can do for free for their own work is actually post about it ✨ i do poetry, sci-fi novels, music, acting, and any other art i can manage where i am good at it and enjoy doing it (ideally both). you can find some links at amberbird.com. (pic is of my completed trilogy)

yes, this! and even though a database issue borked punctuation (and i've had no spoons to fix it), this post i made in 2016 is also about this www.amberbird.com/blog/2016/10... pro tip: your fav authors accept such free gifts at any time! but since a lot of you focus on holidays, 'tis the season!

5 ways to give your fave authors free-to-you gifts over the holidays! 💙📚 1. post about their book on socials 2. rec on other posts & Reddit threads 3. suggest their book to a book club! 4. order their book from a library/ask can it be ordered in! 5. add it to GoodReads lists for discoverability!

I live in America—more to the point, Im sick in America. The only way I can get the meds I need is w/ Patreon. Writers get lots of lessons on building craft & honing skills. Readers get VIP access to my books and art. Everyone gets an amazing Discord community. $5/month makes a huge difference! 🔗👇🏼
