Sasha Brown@sashabrown.bsky.social · 17h agoHoly shit, I just read it. @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social this is trash, you guys. It's trash. This goes against my values and I don't want to be associated with it. Can we get a statement on who thought this was cool, please?
Me, a few minutes ago: "Why, surely whatever is in the HWA newsletter can't be THAT bad." Oh yes. It can be that bad. What the actual fuck, @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social?

Lucynka@lucynka.bsky.social · 5d agoOh shit, I think I found her. Hope Campbell, from the 1930 University of Nebraska yearbook, member of Alpha Xi Delta. Born 1910, in Nebraska; moved to NYC in the early '40s to become a writer. Born "Edith Hope," but seemingly went by her middle name as her mom's name was also Edith. #pulp #romance

"Inside a tank, seven people dressed in bathing suits and scuba masks swam in small, frantic circles[...] Number 3’s body looked familiar; I’d definitely groped someone with similar tits at a BAFTA afterparty."

IMPACT: that company that was offering to buy books for AI companies’ training data — and probably destroy them in the process — says it will no longer offer this service following 404 Media’s exposure of it www.404media.co/ai-company-t...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
An author just told me I'm the best publisher they've ever worked with. Warms the cockles of my heart. (brb gonna look up "cockles")
I'm excited for this antho and you should be, too, and also this is a picture of my front porch that I took with my friends, and yes it is always this spooky at my house.
The good news is, I found my machete. The bad news is
