I don't know how much clearer the message "Stop using AI, it's destroying the planet, stealing work & ruining creative fields" could be, but I keep seeing more and more AI images on my feed and it's just genuinely depressing at this point.

An evergreen reminder that if you post anything HP related I’m immediately unfollowing you. In this political climate where trans and nonbinary rights are under attack, your complicity in supporting a major anti-trans author is telling.

Disappointed at learning some authors use AI to generate art for their books. If you don't want your craft ruined and stolen, don't do it to another. Art is extremely high skilled, takes years of dedication, then time to perform. I get it's pricey, but there's a good reason.

We went from “what good are the humanities?” to “suddenly, no one can read” in about a year, and the answer to the first question is the disinformation and lack of critical thinking you see all around you. *That* is why you need the humanities. This is what they prevent.

Wondering what to submit? This week we're especially interested in work about: video games, soot sprites, queer domesticity, space and all its vastness, salted sidewalks, ice skating, the eeriness of empty department stores at night, spreadsheets, laundry, and luna moths.

things writers excel at: • starting & abandoning wips • curating the perfect playlist • hyping up other writers • doubting quality of own work • feeling left behind • building a story around one scene • procrastinating in canva • emotional damage via character death

The Em Dash is absolutely NOT a sign of something being AI & whoever came up with that can f**k all the way off. Stop accusing people of using AI just because you don't understand punctuation. Writers should take advantage of all the punctuation available to them. 💚

i actually do truly believe there is an agent for every book and a reader for every book. no matter how discouraging it gets or no matter how trends seem to change

Each publishing path—Big Five, small press, self-publishing—has its advantages and disadvantages. Distrust anyone who gives you only the positive or negative of each.

being a bookworm means you love to read, sure, but it's also about having this very detailed daydream about inheriting a large and mysterious gothic estate with a library that has ceiling high bookshelves and sliding ladders

The joy of being 85% pantser? You never know where the story is going to go. The worst part of being a panster? You never know where the story is going to go😑

Really looking forward to seeing this fail. AI has zero place in the creation of books and art. I've said it before...AI can never replace human emotions and experiences. AI generates, it doesn't create or use imagination. This is cheating. It's disgusting. #WritingCommunity

maybe you were not made to labour but rather to obsess over haunted forests full of mossy eldritch trees and mushrooms and old books full of unhinged little fairy tales
