I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

AI is the deadly whisper of capital interests that betrays the working class in order to destroy it from within, and it couldn't be more simple than that.

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

I donât think Iâll get over the rage I feel that we traded relative prosperity, security, scientific advancement, the possibility of upward mobility, and somewhat functional democracy for the protection of a felon child-rapist. Incandescent, unending rage.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books. Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable. Sign the petition to stop it.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, itâs not a publishing problem, itâs a men problem.

AI, as a force of automation, theft, surveillance, misogyny, racism & control, is absolutely a component of the global fascist moment. Submission to AI is capitulation to fascism. Yes, itâs very hard to avoid, and employers foist it on us. Fighting fascism is hard. Totally worth it, though!

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.

A healthy book ecosystem relies on professional book reviewers, not just authors reviewing their peers, although this is good and interesting too. We need both. But the professional reviewer is a keystone species in the ecosystem. We can't lose them.

Sane people in the US are terrified and gutted. It will take generations to dig out of the hole a few genuinely evil people have dig for us. But please donât retreat. Now is the time to find a way to act, to make the lives of our elected representatives harder, to work, to build communities.

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove. donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

At the end of this, I want to see a federal government made up of socialist nurses, elementary school teachers, mothers, and librarians. Get rid of every single Republican, every Democrat who sat on their thumbs and let this happen. The US better be to the left of Sweden when this is all over.

But the president of the United States is a criminally insane madman who is openly extorting the entire world and threatening war with NATO. The test is whether youâll actually react APPROPRIATELY and PROPORTIONATELY, and our institutions have not and in fact refuse to do so.

Every day a new extreme embarrassment about being American. Exactly two of us want to take over Greenland, and theyâre the worst humans alive. We donât want this. We donât want WWIII. We donât want to be at war with our allies. Trump needs to be in prison, where he belongs.

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.
