I wonder if @bigdaddyjohnjohn.bsky.social realizes that the dream band he's described in his thoughtful tribute to Ozzy, is a dead-on description of the band Ghost.

I saw somebody on TikTok using the word 'slopper' as a slur for people who use ChatGPT, and that's a thing we should start doing.

Recently learned from my trad pub author pals that my editing speed is "unheard of." I dunno man. I'm just built different. A 90k novel a week per stage of editing is just how I roll. But I'm not inhuman. If it's 120k or more, I take two weeks.

Updated the calendar today to find I only have two weeks open every month for the rest of the year! That means just one book a month left til 2026. Snag your spot while they last: www.quickfoxeditors.com

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

tfw u realize someone whose work you relate to is actually a weird rich person that goes to parties with other weird rich people who have exciting new grifts that will be the future and it's going to be so incredible and you can be the face of this exciting new future that everyone loves and is fine

Here is some good news!! "Despite the timing of a massive Amazon book sale, indies nationwide reported strong sales and attendance for this year’s Independent Bookstore Day festivities." www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES. There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

"Some uses of AI and LLM could be practical and ethical so we should be more open minded" some uses of landmines could be practical and ethical but that doesn't mean I want you to keep burying them in my yard

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

We've been asked this a few times & now have an answer! If you're in publishing, but not author you can join Publishing Professionals Against Book Bans! The group is still in development but you can sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

If you want real talk from a literary agent who follows basic principles of ethical conduct: Agents occasionally discuss queries with each other. Sometimes we complain, sometimes we poke a little fun—we're human, we have opinions, we share them privately. We don't mock people publicly for clout.

All of this. If you're a creative who uses AI for any part of your process, up to and including promotion, you're benefitting from wholesale, flagrant art theft and do not deserve positive attention -- and you certainly aren't going to get the support of the creative community.

"Fuck you, make me."

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

You get: affordable marketing services We get: I dunno light bill money

wishbone

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has apparently been trying to work with the (son of the Lehman Brothers CEO) donor of the Benin Bronzes collection to transfer ownership back to Nigeria, but instead he's taking all the statues back and they're closing the gallery entirely.

Publishing is expensive; marketing your book doesn't have to be. Packages start at just $150 for graphics, book cover mock-up, and a comprehensive marketing schedule to make the most of every month leading up to the big day. quickfoxeditors.com/marketing/

If you're looking for such services from an established company and not some dicey fly by night operation that charges big money for big promises and little return.

Do it, person with lots of expendable income, give thousands of dollars to a broke freelancer and be reincarnated as a lotus flower

Genuinely bamboozled. Don't. Don't do this. You're fixing *nothing*. I guarantee this editor likely thinks they did their job because "look at all the changes I made" 🤡 If you're not doing this work with care and study, you're not doing your job.

Looking for more Black horror for your post-Sinners reading? Boom. reactormag.com/the-rise-of-...

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

In other news, I've also overhauled the entire site. This month marks 10 years of editing for me; the new site reflects my expertise and my work (no AI and no editing software - just Track Changes and CMOS). Prices have also been raised to reflect this. quickfoxeditors.com

For years yall have asked; it's finally here. Quick Fox Editors is now offering book launch marketing services. @mxcarmilla.bsky.social has been honing her skills with @cloakedpress.bsky.social - whether you need graphics or full guidance, she's got you covered. quickfoxeditors.com/marketing/

Breaking: a judge in GA ordered that the fed'l gov't CANNOT pull the visas of foreign students. The order applies ONLY to students who are part of the lawsuit. If you want to join the lawsuit, reach out to: [email protected] and [email protected] youtu.be/FS6B8CM8uf4

Counter-argument: You should use Sinners to springboard yourself into some other Black American horror like the following

Well now I know what I need to read next

Stop saying "Will trans men be welcomed into women's spaces?" as some kind of rhetorical gotcha, as though trans men have not been beaten and KILLED after being FORCED into women's spaces. Your ignorance of trans men's oppression due to their invisiblisation does NOT a clever comeback make.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Clive Barker gets it. faroutmagazine.co.uk/hellraiser-c...

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

NFT are dead because none of you actually bought or tried to use them. LEARN FROM THAT.

we’ve pointed a camera at this overly elaborate wall of lava lamps to determine the current tariff rates

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote. And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

There is actual purposeful ace rep by ace authors out there and it’s absolutely wild how even our own community ignores our presence and influence in favor of incidental representation and the one big ace bestseller 🤷

HUGE WIN: A federal judge just issued a lengthy TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from freezing federal funds to Maine over their policies protecting transgender youth. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
