I almost want to start it now….

Latest thinking on AI - the more everyone talks about job losses, all entry-level and mid-management jobs disappearing, companies will offer ever lower salaries and fewer rights and perks in return for the perception of a secure job. And we’ll be so fearful that we’ll accept it. Thoughts?

This is a classic LinkedIn post by an AI guy. He has had an amazing revelation - humans are worth more than correcting AI slop. Zero irony or self awareness. Astonishing.

So glad that this means everyone at Hachette gets a pay rise.

One for all of those mealy-mouthed industry folk who say that publishing isn't political. Bet this won't be discussed at London Book Fair next month.

I have also long known that single Mums are preyed on for obvious reasons. And, I am so glad I have kept the few men I’ve had relationships with completely separate from my daughter. And honestly, it has played a major part in me being single for most of the last 20 years. Zero regrets of course.

It is an extremely dangerous world for girls and women and knowing this has absolutely shaped how I have been bringing my daughter up. Not man- hating, not paranoia, just watching men show me the who they are every day.

Watch as the Royal family goes on a charm offensive. Expect lots of fuzzy wuzzy stories about the King’s love of gardening and Kate’s wonderful parenting skills etc etc 👀

I’m sorry but she paid Virginia £12m, she knew everything and if she didn’t, her people really weren’t doing their jobs properly. Less of the vulnerable old lady shiz.

And #BookPost is Keshed. Congratulations to @stuhennigan.bsky.social on the publication of your first novel and to @ortacpress.bsky.social for putting this out and creating such a beautifully produced (really) book. Wishing you a huge success. And, as always, #GoIndiePublishing

“Are we going to charge him, Sarge?” “Not right away, constable. Stick him in a cell and let him sweat for a while.” “Er…”

If he can be convicted of financial fraud, so be it. The other prisoners will know the truth.

I hope this is just the beginning of many, many men being arrested, convicted and jailed.

The powers that be are really expecting us to accept that we abide by international laws, human rights laws and sanctity of life EXCEPT for Palestinians (and many other black & brown people), AND that crimes against children & women, s-abuse, violence and trafficking are reprehensible crimes

Going to say goodbye to my best mate’s dog today. Her time has come after a truly magnificent life. Go well, lovely Pepper. ❤️

Morning all. I’ve been thinking about this a lot given what is happening with E-files - us women absolutely need to centre ourselves first and foremost in every aspect of our lives. The most radical thing we can be is 💯 resolutely ourselves.

I went to the National Portrait Gallery yesterday, it’s a fantastic place and I highly recommend. Anyhoo, my main thought was we really do celebrate all the wrong people.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The right wing holds these views at the same time and sees no contradictions: - the birth rate is falling and women should have more babies - because of AI there will be very few jobs in the future - anyone needing benefits is a leech on society

Also, boys like getting flowers too! And in fact may be extra touched that you thought they would.

As a florist’s daughter, I hate seeing, ‘she doesn’t want flowers’…. meme. I promise you nobody is unhappy to receive a bunch of flowers, be that daffs, tulips or a few picked from the garden any time of the year.

It's my birthday, hurrah! For my birthday I'd really love as many shares on this post as we can make happen! Hi, I'm AK, and I write exceedingly queer books! Feel free to ask me about them! ravenswordpress.com

Happy Valentine’s Day to all you beautiful single women. Extra kiss for single mums. Goddesses each and every one.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services. Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you. Please do keep sharing! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Anyone finding joy in things right now? I’m struggling. Any tips/ideas welcome.

Disagreeing with people on LinkedIn about AI is my new hobby. It isn’t even slightly enjoyable. Think I’ll get back to crochet.

More insanity from planet AI-LaLa (LinkedIn).

Feels like we shouldn’t need to say this, but nobody linked with Epstein should be anywhere near a University or hospital. (There are professors and I saw that a gynaecologist!!! who was getting regular payments from Epstein). The mind fucking boggles.

This is so sad. Such a great prize. I hate that everything good in books has to scrap for pennies.

There's no patriot like a Monaco-based patriot.

His petrochemical business is still significantly subsidised by government money. He's unequivocally a personal net loss to the country.

Apart from how disgustingly racist this is, these men make all of their money in the UK, go live in Monaco or wherever to avoid paying tax here, and still have the audacity to have these views in the name of patriotism.

Wow, fifty shades of printers!

Hard to imagine there’s anyone left who needs/wants to buy one of these books.

Self awareness doesn’t make it any better. 👀

Thoughts for today and every other day: put them all in prison and burn it all down.

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

Another bug up my ass today is the issue of book publishing working with AI companies. Now, for argument's sake, if you knew categorically that a company had stolen from the people that directly drive your revenue (authors), under any normal circumstances would you consider working with them?

Exactly

Whilst *waves at everything* is happening, HOUSING is still the number one issue impacting the cost of living and therefore the quality of people’s lives in the UK. Yet, when was the last time you heard a politician discuss it, yet alone have a plan?

New York City: The time has arrived. Finally, a chance to tell the city EXACTLY what your landlord’s been getting away with. NYC’s first Rental Ripoff Hearings are happening in all five boroughs, and we want to hear from you. Real New Yorkers. Real stories. Real policy changes. 

Please think very, very carefully before posting photos/videos of young children on any social media platform. This is even more important given what AI can do and everything we know about the people who control these platforms. We must keep children safe. ✌️
