Just gonna drop this here. Amazon is forcing a new AI feature on authors whose books are available on Kindle. This is a petition to give us the choice to opt out, because currently, we cannot.

If you're one of the authors published by them see if you can make a fuss? This is a terrible decision (and AI is a terrible translator)
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.

All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Ok, since apparently I got nominated for @nyvgcc.bsky.social's award for game journalism based on this piece, I'll share it again: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi...

Happy that it resonated with so many people across the globe, it fits nicely in a year where Despelote united Latin America XD

I had written an article about racism in fairy folk belief for Witches&Pagans magazine in 2022, and as the magazine is no more and I've pulled my material from academia. edu I wanted to make sure it was still publicly available.
