the pw announcement is out! my next two books are for the girlies who choose violence 😌 i can't wait for you to meet all of these troublemakers in due time.
pw announcement: Alexandra Cooper at Quill Tree Books has acquired North American rights to two graphic novels by Wendy Xu, one middle grade and one YA. Yarrow and the Burning Mountain, due out in 2027, is about a young goblin who, to protect her way of life, takes on her evil estranged cousin who is attempting to mass produce her village's special pottery. A Ghost Is a Wish, due in 2028, features a teen who sees the ghost of a classmate's sister and starts to hang out with an annoying boy and his ghost-hunting friends to escape life with her controlling mother. Linda Camacho at Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency did the deal.

panels are sample art from both books

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.
