In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)

I was kinda nervous about giving this speech TBH. I don't usually get nervous about public speaking but going to a fancy Washington DC event and talking about fascism and why AI sucks felt like a lot honestly. I was so relieved people seemed to like it.

Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Traditionally, spooky season goes through Christmas/solstice/the darkest time of year. So Halloween is really just the beginning, or maybe the middle, if you celebrate the begging of fall in August (/if you are me). Enjoy and carry on!

It’s Spookymonth at Story Hour! This week, Nadia Bulkin and A.C. Wise will read from their own work. We don’t dare tell you more at this point. Join us Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. PDT! @nadiabulkin.bsky.social @acwise.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com
Head-and-shoulders color portrait of author Nadia Bulkin, a woman of mixed Asian and white parentage. She has medium-toned skin, large dark eyes, and dark hair dyed a deep red. She wears light eye makeup and a gray crew-neck Broadway knit top with black horizontal stripes. She sits by a window, which illuminates her face from one side. She looks steadily into the camera, smiling slightly. Head-and-shoulders color portrait of author A.C. Wise, a fair-skinned woman with auburn hair parted on one side and pulled back into what looks like a low braided bun. She wears a black spaghetti-strap top, a collar necklace of long silver beads, wire-rimmed glasses that are frameless on the bottom edge, an elaborate silver hoop earring in the helix of her visible ear, and red lipstick. She sits in front of a blurred backdrop, holding a leatherbound copy of Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination to her chest and looks steadily into the camera with light gray-green eyes, smiling enigmatically.
