Just finished "The Safekeep". Oof. That one's going to stay with me for a while. What a gem.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Not to vaguepost about multi-million dollar authors, but I just think you should know how subordinate clauses work before you're allowed to be published.

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

Reading Left Hand of Darkness for the first time and helping to develop a dear friend's manuscript. What an embarrassment of riches!
How's my own writing going? Don't worry about it.
