soooo excited for Monet on #TheTraitors!!!

“We need to support individuals in being able to think critically about the things that they’re #reading because that’s fundamental to a democracy: our ability analyze and think deeply about the information we’re consuming.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1L1... #amreading #reader #books #ai

#CelebrityTraitorsUK was so good! I especially loved the cast—they were fantastic and so fun. Quite unexpectedly, Joe was my fave! (But like...what's the official hashtag for the show???? 😭) #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK #TheCelebrityTraitorsUK #TheCelebrityTraitors #PleasePickAHashtag

I loved The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar. It’s a poetic and lyrical fairy tale wrapped in folk songs. The audio version performed by Gem Carmella is amazing. It’s a book whose themes are sisterly bonds and the audiobook’s background music is also performed by the author and her sister🎶 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hope that @acesediting.bsky.social removes this job listing. Scientology is an enemy of free expression. Here's my experience with the so-called church. editdesk.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/h...

Starting #TheCelebrityTraitorsUK! I'm loving Alan Karr as a Traitor 💀 (already love him on #DragRaceUK!)

unfortunately this year my family Christmas cards do include a citation (CMOS 18, ofc, but notes style!!!)

“Metaphors have deep power, and the widespread metaphor that darkness/blackness is bad, evil, or otherwise negative, while lightness/whiteness is good, pure, or otherwise positive, has inestimable effects." radicalcopyeditor.com/2020/12/21/d... #amediting #copyediting #writingcommunity #amwriting

Starting my 2026 strong with a fully booked Jan! 🎉 Don't worry because Otters Editing is looking for clients in the Spring! I work with indie authors for fantasy, LGBTQ+, and sci-fi stories! You deserve an empathetic #editor who cares about human creativity and doesn't use AI. ottersediting.com

This whole thread 💯 I know enough about generative AI to know it's unhelpful and harmful. It makes my job harder. It's more work too. It's so inaccurate I'd have to spend extra time just to fix the most basic things.

I agree. I'm so confused by it. I've told many editors the writing community hates generative AI. I get clients because I'm anti-AI and have it in my contract/website. Just this week, my client for January thanked me for not using AI in my #editing

I struggle to understand why some editors are totally cool with using #AI in #editing when a good portion of the #writingcommunity is staunchly against any use of generative AI in writing/editing. Exhibit A: These replies to SFWA allowing partially generated text to be eligible for Nebula Awards:

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

The next time you hear conservatives railing against "handouts for the poor," remind them that we should really be cutting corporate welfare — unnecessary and unwarranted aid for profitable corporations that are dependent on the taxpayer.

Australian here 👋 Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work. There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996. We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.
