LOVE IS REAL is a simple three word statement but can be pulled apart in infinite ways. it is on my mask, and when buckaroos ask me why, my most common response is 'what else is there?' weve been blessed with a moment to exist and we try on other ideas, but in the end, love is what holds substance

Caught another writer using AI & they were promptly let go.
I can not stress this enough: Any editor worth anything can AND WILL catch you if you're using AI to write. It's not slick, it's not subtle, & so many behavioral patterns beyond the writing are dead giveaways.
Do the work or get out.

never let anybody tell u that evil does not exist
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

the only way they could be clearer is by opening every single book they publish with a note that the Imperium is the absolute worst and cruelest government that has ever existed anywhere and life inside it is a ceaseless nightmare for close to 100% of its inhabitants

Being healthy and abled-bodied is a temporary condition for most everyone lucky enough to live to old age.
And as someone who has been disabled for 15 months because a cold turned into labyrinthitis and wreaked havoc on my vestibular system, I'm proof you can go from healthy to not in a single day.

I was accused of fear mongering and misinformation when I said similar things to this. But you have to READ BETWEEN THE LINES. When they say they want to “eliminate chronic illness” what they mean is “eliminate the chronically ill and the weak and the disabled so only the “strong” people are left.”

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?

Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis.
It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

*Question for comic book shops/book sellers*
Does it make sense to call you guys and ask that you order a few copies of my dark horse book Living Hell (coming out in July)? Or is that ineffective/a faux pas?
Marketing is pretty difficult in comics so I’m tryin to do what I can to stand out :)
