BHM poem of the day, If We Must Die by Claude McKay
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!

it's nice to see a bit of uncontrollable chaos in a character when you feel a bit out of things.

And also, just like all fucking generative AI, this is just massive, scaled-up theft. This woman is functionally stealing money out of the KU pool from authors who are writing and publishing their own original works USING A TOOL that was itself built on stolen works.

most of all, fuck everybody who sees romance as a cash register rather than a genre worthy of respect. the booktok to AI slopfest pipeline has been the most grim, depressing downward spiral. it sucks.
