As @gregpak.net has noted, unless there was a specific clause in all the contracts that allows for this, they can't go back and retroactively amend contracts without the author's consent. This is a class action suit waiting to happen.
“Authors have until the end of August to opt out of the licensing agreement. If they do not, their work will be used to help train AI models.”

This is how to do it:
1. Do a search for 'alligatoralcatraz'.
2. For each item, look under the picture, where it says 'report item to Etsy',
3. Select reason - I chose 'hate speech'.
4. Under details, I wrote "Supports concentration camps in the US."
5. Go back to search page, rinse and repeat.

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

I once banged out 59k words (61k with prequel) for #TheElderScrolls #Oblivion as a Yuletide NYR/Big Bang fanfic. Ten years on, I'm now trying to see if I can do it again, but better and longer with the sequel(s), thanks to Oblivion Remastered relighting my interest.

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake.
Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong.
For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Everyone now and again I will see someone use the phrase "woke mind virus" seriously and I will wonder what it is like to be them, and to have a head full of rancid pudding where a brain is meant to be

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Now would be a great time to say the name of Yoshifumi Kondo, the person who ACTUALLY designed much of what people consider that "Ghibli Look."
Miyazaki is only one part of Studio Ghibli.

STRESS KILLS.
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.
The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.
We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.
