Wishing a happy 101st Birthday to Ed Wood. Ghosts, transvestites, Bela Lugosi as God, what a strange, fascinating picture he gave us. Other than David Lynch, no other Hollywood-adjacent director had a better grasp on the surreal spaces underneath movies--even if Ed maybe only found them by accident.

There should be accountability for white cisgender women too. Some are not my friends so they're just as bad, if not worse. They don't really see me, a Black woman, the same as themselves. In fact, more cis white women have treated me worse than any man.

She's not a monster. She's a dangerous bigot that the world created. There are better writers than her yet nobody will support us. You all just artack us for being self published or indie. If white cis women are our allies say it with more than words.

Thee Writer Queen: Fuck EA @theecatservant.bsky.social · 13h

The white ones aren't. At least not for my race. I see more posts hating the men while excusing the women which is wrong. The cis white women are just as much to blame as the men. They're not victims and most aren't allies.

Is being a Guardian reporter as exciting as the movies make out?

Keira Knightley cuts a more glamorous figure than most Guardian staff in her new film The Woman in Cabin 10, while Tennant is a dead ringer for star reporter Nick Davies. But how convincing are they?

Ask the white cis women writers too. Because it wasn't just the men, just saying. A lot of them refused to speak out either, too many did.

One is JK Rowling, who too many keep making rich and famous because indie writers apparently don't exist.

E.D.E. Bell @edebell.com · 16h

Every cis white man writer and platform, already out talking about genAI and politicians, should be actively telling their followers that everything happening is due to our refusal to address white supremacy, whiteness, and white silence.

Ask yourself why they are not.

And maybe, ask them.

I'm seeing an increasing number of scams like the one below, leveraging the widespread problem of publishing scams w/ a faux service promising to fix problems author is having w/ the original scam but really to hit them up for more $$ (note the "Amazon partner agency" claim: there's no such thing)

From: Blaire Andrews <bandrews@royaltypilots.com>

Subject: Your royalties on Amazon
To: [redacted]

Hi [redacted]

I’m Blaire from Amazon Partners – Royalty Pilots.
We’re an Amazon agency commissioned to help authors migrate their books from third-party publishers to their own Amazon KDP accounts.

I’m reaching out because we’ve spoken with many authors who recently shared frustrations that you might also be experiencing while being published through a third-party service provider—such as:

Royalties that never seem to arrive or come with little to no explanation.

No visibility or control over how many copies have been sold or where those sales are happening.

Endless upsells and new charges every time you want to make even a small change to your book.

Through Amazon KDP, authors are now publishing their books directly with Amazon — with no middlemen involved.
This means:

Royalties are sent straight to your bank account every month.

You can track real-time sales data through your own KDP dashboard.

You have full ownership and control over your books, including the freedom to make revisions free of charge.

If you’d like to explore how this can work for you, I’d love to schedule a quick call. Please let me know your best contact number and the most convenient time to reach you.

I've seriously seen better fan fic of soaps on Wattpad. Way better. It's time they started soliciting resumes from non union writers. Any one of us could do better.

Call me old school, but I don't think a person illegally blowing up boats and unleashing masked goons on his citizens would be a serious candidate for a peace prize.

I think the show needs retooled. They don't understand how any age talks or acts really. I mean, people go on about how old Tate looks but if he was written more realistically that wouldn't be an issue. And why they keep " man, dude, bro" with each other? Yes, boys, we know you are male lol.
