While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

So in that spirit, here's a reminder to anyone who needs it: Writers, artists, everyone making, fixing, protecting things with your bodies and brains, you're all AMAZING. Your everyday courage and resilience make life worth living. You are loved and appreciated. That is all. 💜 (8/8)

AI is increasingly being used to deport migrants, replace workers, predict “crime,” dox activists, and target weapons. Meanwhile, its energy consumption continues to exacerbate the climate crisis. We must fight back. @haymarketbooks.org

I wonder how many ppl are still wrapping their heads around the fact that art takes time to make. and that free time varies between ppls lives and motivation. and thats why not all artists post multiple times a week. and its incredibly lucky if someone is able to do that.

I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:
1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

I read all of @phantomarine.bsky.social in one go over the holidays and giggled like an idiot through most of it. I am *begging* my husband to help me with a cosplay of Cheth. The art + characters + vibes are just immaculate.
I read this from top to bottom today based on that there panel and recommend you do too if such is your jam.

Throughout a career in publishing, the commonest problem I’ve found in authors trying to break into the business is their fear of taking themselves seriously. If that’s you, try this. (Little thread follows.)
1. Remove “aspiring” or “would-be writer” from your bio. Replace it with “writer.”

I'm Charlie Sloane and have two projects in flight. I took a month off on the primary novel project because I was stuck with the last portion of it, and I can finally feel my brain unspooling around what I want to fix and how. Happened when doing dishes of all things! #weeknightwriters 1/2
Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too
