Everyone should read @claribelortega.bsky.social Witchlings.

Hi friends 👋🏽 #booksky #authorsky

It is *so* difficult for marginalized authors to break into publishing let alone succeed (especially these days) We need all the encouragement and good news we can get, so I will keep posting about my accomplishments PROUDLY. I’m not policing my tone for anyone. Don’t like it, close your eyes 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's Murderbot Eve, if you watch on Thursday night. (It's also our third to last Murderbot Eve. Episode 8 this week, 9 next week, and final episode on July 10-11.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6ix...

I love @claribelortega.bsky.social’s Witchlings series. It really scratches an itch for a cozy, magical world that touches on community and injustice. 🌌🐸🪻🪿🦋(no moth emoji)

Hey Blueksy, if you're looking for magic books and magic school books that *aren't* horribly exclusionary, let me share some fantastic examples with you. #BookSky 💙📚

The Witchlings is my favourite in this stack, but they are all delights.

Do the writers using AI not realize that the expediency of this tool is just rushing them towards the inevitable limits of their own underdeveloped ability? Shortchanging yourself out of hard work means you will ultimately produce rapid drivel. Even worse, you won't be able to tell.

The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours. OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow. Do you despise AI? Dissent, retweet. Do something. #furry #art

EVERY AUTHOR I LOVE has their work stolen by AI 😭 #stopAI #authors

Probably the only other human who truly understands how I feel 🇨🇴🇨🇦https://youtube.com/watch?v=G19I-nPCPBg

Sometimes you make art and it is successful, and people treat that success like a mandate for more of your art. But life is your art's mandate. The success is not only subjective, but another matter entirely. Life is art's mandate. You don't need anyone else's permission. #writingcommunity

Sanderson’s Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is such a love letter to the arts and a commentary on why AI will never be able to truly touch our souls the way human art can. ❤️ 10/10 ⭐️ #imreading

was talking with a friend last night about the sharp divide between people whose trauma tells them "it can happen anywhere" and the people whose trauma/denial tells them "we made it, we're safe now, it won't happen here no matter what". And the people with no trauma who just don't believe it's real.

It’s Friday. You did it! You made it to the weekend. What’s a win you had this week? #adhd
