As someone who has family in Istanbul, I can say that Erdogan has ruined the country and everyone wants to leave.

Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Great thread. ⬇️ Read it!

Mr. Tyler Crook @mrtylercrook.bsky.social · Aug 17

I was just reading a thread abut a.i. and it got me wondering, has it always been this way or is this a new thing where people absolutely hate learning new skills? Have we just pushed the myth of being "naturally talented" so hard that people think new skills should arrive without effort?

When the ax came to the forest, the trees said, "The handle is one of us."

My crit partner Freeman Ng’s book is on this list! Bridge Across the Sky. Check it out!

“This historical novel in verse is superb, conveying the magnitude of disrespect, hatred, and racist practices Chinese immigrants had to endure.”

Not so long ago, the only verse novels available were by Ellen Hopkins and Francesca Lia Block. Now their works are joined by countless diverse titles that center young people’s coming-of-age in the accessible format.

Arresting judges who uphold laws someone in power doesn’t like is the act of a fascist regime. There is no excuse, no cover, no rationalization that can change that fact

So what’re they going to do with all the taxes I’m sending tomorrow? You know, because they cut all the good stuff.

My personal fave is an author who got bent out of shape because a young boy in her book was illustrated drinking tea. 😑

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

It’s really awful working on a GN about genocide in my family, while another is taking place right now in front of our very eyes with our US government fully supporting it.
