A fair number of problems seem downstream from the fact that the best way to be a human is to grow, change, and evolve but the best way to be successful online is to never change and always double, triple, and quadruple down every time you are wrong.

The slop machines have taught me one thing--and credit where due, it is an important thing: I'd rather die than surrender that which makes me human.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

What if we tried loving one another, eating delicious food, making art...what if we practiced patience, helped those who need it, found ways to make life easier for all, moved our bodies, and slept cozily in nice warm beds. How about we see how that goes for a while, instead of whatever all this is

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Editors should edit! Ideally the position of editor is not merely that of a garden gate through which a writer's work passes into the world.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

When a famous musical artist I don’t care about / don’t like releases a new album I simply ignore it and don’t listen to it, which apparently makes me unique in this day and age

I hate "well, what about if X was Y?" arguments, which is what this is, though slightly disguised.

Yes, my campaign to ruthlessly eliminate, for example, typos from my work, would be terrible if 'typos' were an indigenous people, and 'my work' was a landmass, but, hey, guess what?
