If you’re Trans+ and love cyberpunk, I want to hear from you. Share your insights and experiences via these four surveys:

More great talks at @indexerscanada.bsky.social conference today. After the latest review by Elizabeth Bartmess on generative AI attempts at creating book indexes, compared with how ‘good’ the chatbots say they are, the bots could do with much more imposter syndrome. #IndexSky

Every book I #translate shows me that there are SO MANY THINGS about which I know nothing. So much history, so many great people, so much tragedy and injustice, so much bravery and triumph. The research I do for my translations only scrapes the surface. There is so much to LEARN, and so little time.

Hey, #comics pals... Marvel Talent Relations job with @rickeypurdin.bsky.social, who is awesome! ⤵️

Interviewer, then: “have you always told stories about monsters?” Me, then: yeah, I don’t know why, always been fascinated Beauty and the Beast: “we don’t like what we don’t understand/and this monster is mysterious at least” Me, today: oh.

It's Trans Day of Visibility and if you want to support trans writers you can do so by following and sharing my Starter Pack.

Looking forward and inward... #hope #illustration #kidlitart #illustrator #art

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Begging progressives to get their shit off Substack. I'm reluctant to share work published there. I will when I feel it's especially important, but I wince each time I do.

nah man just use graze.social or blueskyfeedcreator.com or skyfeed.app

A very special call: Over our 20 (!) years we’ve published stories from all the continents of the world, except Antarctica. We want to remedy that. We’re looking for stories between 2000–6000 words from writers who are in, have recently been to, or have plans to visit Antarctica in the near future.

Trans futures are more important than cis nostalgia.

Anyway, as this seems rather important today, if you want to support trans artists and hear their stories we have a massive 'trans and nb' comics resource list here at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social for your enjoyment. www.brokenfrontier.com/tag/trans-an... #transrightsarehumanrights

Do writers really not want to do this? Translating sound effects in comics is like one of my favorite things.

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

CALLING ALL TRANSLATORS @silverknight1966.bsky.social is looking to pay someone to translate books from English to Japanese (and possibly other Asian languages) Share far and wide!

As a side-note, I realize the Nebulas are a writing-focused award, but in the case of comics and graphic novels, I really do feel strongly that artists should be named on the ballot. You wouldn't read my script by itself; it'd be like reading a technical manual.

god this rules so hard (for context, I was making $30k a year as an editorial assistant at Harper in 2010)
