Cis People Don't Get Gender Affirming Care
Gender affirming care actually means something, and telling me the procedures I fought for in my transition are the same as a cis woman getting lip filler, is frankly, insulting.

who are NOT on Amazon? Thought we might start a mutual support group/page/listing or something. We need to find alternate venues; share experiences; promo our books and support other authors. ✨ BONUS: there's no need for introverts to leave the house.

So starting Jan 15th Twitter is adding to their terms AGAIN. The TLDR; You will no longer be able to opt-out of Grok or AI training. Having a Twitter account will automatically grant Twitter full license to anything you post and will be fed to AI training. Period. Not just AI scraping, but full-on.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

What’s especially galling to me about seeing prompts left in a generated text is that not only could the “author” not be bothered to write the piece, they also couldn’t be bothered to *read* it!

The frequency with which this is happening is so bleak and depressing. Knowing a book has no AI before beginning it, and paying for it, and spending time on it, shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Would it be remiss to name a character who interacts with a meteor briefly at the start of the story "Rocky"? 🤔

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

You want marketing for your game/book/thing? Go commission an artist to do some fanart of it. Like give them some materials and then let them draw whatever fanart they want, cute doodles, a big finished illustration, whatever. This is so woefully underutilized!! I want to do this lol

Do people using gen AI in their 'books' realise that every single post about these 'authors' now has comments saying, 'This is what you get with self-published work' and folks are now swearing it off? It took us years to fix the stigma and you brought it back. Thanks. 📚💙

Creators, don’t stop pitching queer content to editors, producers, etc. because you’re afraid it’s going to be stifled going forward. That just helps the bad guys. Don’t pre-censor yourself or the industry you’re in!

The worst thing about being a creator w a published book out is knowing that my book sales (and livelihood) depend on me being my own unpaid full-time production company & marketing firm, posting on every platform, and still may never see a single royalty check. Please buy our books, we’re so tired

Can't stress this enough: a random story you write on a lark may end up being the one that gets you the most recognition while the one you really love may get few reads and/or your worst reviews. Don't overthink it. Publishing is a gamble. You'll win some; you'll lose some.

Angus McKie, "Starship Enters Witchlight." Sometimes the title of an artwork really elevates it.

Profoundly hurt and dismayed by the direction this country has been heading. All the more reason to continue fighting for what's right in any way we can. Now more than ever the world needs our voices to drown out hatred, fear, and ignorance.
