So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

IDK if some authors are just being shady or just ignorant but one of them is claiming you need to register as an author at the National Book Development Board before printing your (self-published) books. That is literally false. You don’t need an ISBN either. (This is the Philippines BTW.)
