By my count there will only be one (1) trans character on all of the major networks and streaming services as of January 2026.
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

PSA for any Apub authors whose books are in the Anthropic settlement list: Amazon is not participating in the settlement, since they have an investment in Anthropic. When you submit your claim form, you DO NOT have to list Amazon as an add'l rightsholder, & can claim 100% of settlement money.

OH MY GOD IT JUST UPDATED AND NOW THE HORRIBLE THING IS GONE WHAT THE HELL, DID THIS POST WORK??
Since the latest update, the obnoxious copilot logo now appears in every window of a microsoft product whether you have copilot turned off or not – and is even there if you’re using focus mode. Why. Why.

My favourite thing about the future is how if you google something, then try to click on a news article about it, you have to scroll through multiple ads and click to accept cookies before being told to log in and that news article is only available if you pay

Fiction writers! Would you find a podcast on grammar specifically for you helpful? Talking about nitty gritty stuff like hyphenating compound nouns and parenthetical commas? I get other writers messaging me a lot wanting to know why their editor wants something changed and I thought it might be 1/2

The teenager who served me today at my local supermarket remembered me as the crazy chicken lady who was about to go pick up baby chicks last time she served me and demanded to know how they were and see photos and this is why self-checkouts just don’t suit everyone

This is a great piece from Mel Saward on some of the First Nations books that should have appeared on RN's Top 100 Books of the 21st Century.
The ABC’s Top 100 books poll lacks diversity. Here are my 10 First Nations ‘books of the 21st century’
Just three Aboriginal writers appeared in Radio National’s poll. There was little sense of the breadth and creativity of our First Nations writing scene.

Aaaaand we have ten instances of the word Champagne. All have to go, since ... this world has no France and therefore no Champagne region. I love revising. It isn't annoying at all.
Really, really want to use the phrase "a stranger in a strange land" in this thing I'm writing but am forcing myself not to since that's decidedly biblical and this is second-world fantasy. Am I gritting my teeth? Who can say #writing

Can I please just be clear that I talked about hieroglyphs on rolling pins in THIS MONTH's newsletter: it isn't something I talk about ... every month. That would be a bit weird, I think. Also here are some cookies made with said rolling pin.
