"The ideology beneath AI is nothing more than white supremacy glammed up by a techbro aesthetic" aworkinglibrary.com/writing/tool...

YES! Not to toot my own horn, but I wrote about this recently: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

During the current extraordinary surge of book-banning efforts, committed advocacy by library ­workers & their allies is stemming the tide of censorship attempts in both school & public libraries, with more & more states enacting anti-book-ban laws. americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2025/06/02/b...

An important reminder that GenAI is NOT intelligent!

Happy Pride Month from this queer, trans, nonbinary, pansexual!

As a thank you to all our readers and supporters, we have Charlie Jane Anders' short story, A Soul in the World, up on our campaign site! First published in Uncanny Magazine. Linked below and in bio #sff #books #booksky #charliejaneanders www.indiegogo.com/pr...

Eat the rich.

A surprisingly good article in the US Guardian about hypernormalisation. “We are in a period now when it’s absolutely essential to protest…”

Australian Magpie

Taking a break from screaming about book bans to do *checks notes* self promotion? The Siren the Song and The Spy is out in audio today, w a quintet of narrators! It's the sequel to The Mermaid the Witch and the Sea, & I fear it is more relevant now than when I wrote it. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

#Gaza Aid now.

Me, waiting to hear if I got the job I interviewed for last week. I haven't been able to do anything productive since.

Anyway, to raise money for trans charities, I’m auctioning off having your name as a character in the new Chaos Walking book. It’s gotten quite high, but if you can, it’s for a great cause. And check out all the other amazing things to bid on. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Cleansed. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Imagine this being your life? I'm not about to say my life is incredible but at least I don't spend ANY if it obsessing about who is using which public toilets.

All this. You have to ask *why are they selling it so hard*? What is up with all the propaganda around AI? The reason is not because it is the inevitable shape of the future; the reason is because it sucks, it's failed to achieve widespread utility, but they need to recoup billions in investments.

I swear I've never before in my life seen a televised USA tourism ad until just now. Specifically, for LA...

between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us

The Trump-loving, climate change denying, racist, homophobic, transphobic, right wing LNP lost!! Badly! I'm so relieved I can't even put it into words.

The series I've been working on finally has the first episode out! Check it out and I'd love to hear what you think :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNAg...

Voting duty done. Now to anxiously await the results...

#GAZA #antisemitism #auspol #ausvotes

One good thing about Instagram against many bad things is its showing me many reels with Pedro Pascal. Being an outspoken trans ally makes someone 30% hotter. It's a fact.

Australia's election day tomorrow and I've never been so anxious about one (specifically, the LNP winning). I feel ill.

This is so important.

Contacting electeds, signing petitions, writing letters, adding public comments, all of that important work can feel lonely, but you're not alone when you're doing it. Here's a thread of pictures from yesterday's rally at the Supreme Court of some of the many people who are with you in this work...

Happy earth day!

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

AABB welcomes authors who have published academic books as well! We've even got an affinity group for you. The Trump administration is attacking all aspects of the book world, so we have to mobilize together to fight back.

Story. My @smh cartoon.

I don't know why but I always find pigeons entertaining. These ones have such character!

Glad to see the US protests happening, but global anti-fascist, anti-oligarchs protests when?? Might be a powerful thing here in Australia particularly as we're facing a federal election with the opposition party led by a Trump-lover (and both major parties corrupted by fossil fuel lobbies).

There's beauty still in the world.
