Heeeey, just a heads up that someone queried a colleague with their manuscript bc chatgpt told them they were a good agent for fantasy, and BUDDIES. The plagiarism bots are wrong. Cursory internet search will tell you that these things are wrong. Use your wonderful brains, please. <3 #amquerying

This is happening today!!!!

Agent here: this is not unusual across the board, but it is BAD. You do not want to assign someone your copyright ever, unless they are paying you appropriately for a rights buyout & you actually want to.

From my conversation on the Green Dreamer Podcast. Listen to the whole conversation wherever you get your podcasts. Solidarity not charity! You can find much more about this in my book Mutual Aid which is free on the Anarchist Library. I just wrote an updated edition that is coming out March 31.

I have a friend who illustrates children's books and if hes given a book and it doesn't explicitly mention both a Mum and a Dad... They're gay. The book mentions a Dad? He's drawing two. The book mentions a Mum? Let's double up. Everything is gay until proven otherwise and he will illustrate as such

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem

Our analysis of Shark Week, the biggest stage in marine biology, found that there aren't just more men than women featured, but more *guys named Mike* than women. The Washington Post ran with that in the headline. Mike "Dirty Jobs" Rowe was big mad about it.

cars who honk at other cars who are waiting patiently for me to cross the street during a walk sign are my greatest enemies perhaps even greater than the ones who try to directly run me over and kill me. thank you to the ally cars who told strong

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires. Anyone can sign the petition — link below!

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

Most people you interact with will not remember the things you say. EVERYONE will remember the way you made them feel.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"
