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?

“Sure. Sure. Yes, we know AI is using up resources. So does driving a car or a planes so does building a new home. So do a lot of things. Humans have always used up Earth’s resources and usually not nicely. There are reservations and other Indigenous communities in Canada that have never had clean water and have been ravaged by pipeline construction. But somehow that’s been okay for the past fifty or a hundred years, and very few people scream about that. But suddenly, AI is the enemy, not everything else we’ve been doing all along. Suddenly YOUR water might not be clean, so it’s a Big Deal”.

Been thinking alot about BACKMASK as pulp fiction as a genre indicator similar to dark academia. Even the Tarantino film sought to capture the Amrrican noir elements of the late 50s/early 60s paperback thriller novels about crime and corruption

You’re going to want to read the Women of the Weird West anthology, which features Indigenous authors (myself and Mathilda Zeller) and many other woc doing interesting things with the genre

I think the abandonment of indigenous elements in peoples weird west setting because they don't want to confront the uncomfortable specter of colonialism and the hollywood indian, let alone get in the way of their fun, is cowardice and contributes to the erasure that often defines indigenous racism.

Three months ago two guys came into my local pub, threw chairs, threatened people, and blocked the door. All the staff kept saying "morally I'm against it, but I'm calling the police." The cops took two hours to arrive and then did nothing.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
