As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

If you need AI to generate your first draft as a writer, you're not a writer and you're in the wrong field. Also, time to stop reading Business Insider.

Hey Baton Rouge! I’ll be at TBR Books and Tea next Saturday signing copies of GUS AND GLORY!

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

I wrote about how I only ever want to read novels written by humans even after our corporate overlords shove AI down our throats and destroy our communities and livelihoods and abandon us to what's left of our planet. Plus I mention a book I recently loved. newsletter.novaren.com/a-novel-only...

One of the first things the Nazis did when they came to power was seize control of Germany's museums in an attempt to rewrite history and culture. Art matters. History matters. Science matters. Fascist regimes are threatened by all three. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

I am also a Southeastern graduate. This is awful.

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

I'm an author, librarian and a K-12 educator as well. Yes, we are "alienating" K-12 teachers who use AI tools because there is no ethical use of generative AI anywhere, let alone in the classroom.

My next middle grade is out next year!

idk, i've managed to not use chatgpt or whatever a single time and still am somehow getting things done and doing well at my job bc i use things like: having conversations with other people! reading! my own brain to think of things!

Did you know GUS AND GLORY earned three stars? A great read for young and old alike! #kidlit @mackidsbooks.bsky.social @mackidssl.bsky.social

I’ll be at Cavalier House Books in Denham Springs, LA, on Saturday at noon! bontempstix.com/events/book-...

My bloodhound puppy’s feet are so big that when she walks she sounds like a little old lady shuffling around in slippers.

See you tomorrow Lafayette!

If you’re in Louisiana, I will be at Cavalier House Books in Lafayette on July 13th discussing my latest middle grade, GUS AND GLORY! 📚 bontempstix.com/events/an-af...

And if you can’t make Lafayette, I’ll be at Cavalier House books in Denham Springs on July 19th!

In my 40s, “a woman who has let herself go” begins to sound less like a tragedy and more like a horse who has finally figured out how to open the gate.

Today is a great day to remind one another that it’s patriotic to protect the freedom to read, learn, create, and express.

Real bloodhounds love GUS AND GLORY! This one is just a puppy, but she already has a strong nose and stubborn personality. And she snores! #booksky #kidlit @mackidsbooks.bsky.social @mackidssl.bsky.social

It’s so hot in Louisiana that even the puppy melted.

Even linkedin gets it

Hey Bluesky—we have a new puppy! Meet Birdie!

If you send me an email written by AI, I’m going to mark it as spam. If you can’t be bothered to write your own emails, why should I waste my time answering? I don’t talk to microwaves.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

GUS AND GLORY are two funny, poignant, memorable characters in a moving and hopeful tale about a transformative time in a girl’s life, and the ways in which she and her dog leave those around them forever changed as well. @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

I just want 'ai' to go away. The simultaneous widespread poisoning of knowledge; attempt to end-run professions that cultivate critical thinking; and sucking the joy out of everything while ramming unwanted technology down our throats is so exhausting. I just can't anymore.

GUS AND GLORY earned a starred review from BookPage! @mackidsbooks.bsky.social @mackidssl.bsky.social @ashliterary.bsky.social

Gus and Glory is on Audible! Sophie Amoss, who also narrated Nowhere Better Than Here, does such a good job bringing this story to life!

Okay, so that thing I was teasing?! 🎾🧡🏆 Check it out here: people.com/jennifer-iac...
