Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

remember, y’all: we hang together, or we all hang separately. (as ben franklin famously said) you cannot fight your way out of authoritarianism by telling the authoritarians that you’re willing to offer up a group in exchange for freedom. it only gives the bullies the signal to divide & conquer

Praying for the victims, families, teachers, and first responders after a shooting during the first week of school at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Our schools should be a safe place for our kids to learn and grow. This kind of violence must be stopped.

Minnesota is heartbroken. From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together. Hug your kids close.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who voted for this madness.

Listening to the soundtrack for SINNERS, working on a book that begs the question, "What if Poe fell in love with a witch in the woods?" Not a bad day. 😊

Parents, be vigilant against PragerU instructional materials in your kids classrooms! It’s an extremist outfit masquerading as an educational nonprofit. It’s a far right wing response to PBS kid’s programming, it is propaganda designed to appeal to children and careless or bigoted educators. Beware!

Surround yourself with liberal, educated, intelligent people — empathetic people who care about others. It will make you feel better to remember that you're not alone. These are very dark times in America. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Shame!
