I love how there's "what, are we in grade school?" preceded and followed by juvenile raving to stop being divisive by caving to slop. The author who wrote this also has a slop "writing coach" she developed, so this is just use the newsletter as advertising for her grift. Waste of email space.

There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

The real enemy isn’t your buddy who is using AI to make a book cover; the enemy is the Powers-That-Be who thrive on dividing everyone, especially in the United States. Look at how divided everyone in the US got over politics over the past ten years, and it’s now trickled to other countries. No more, are you a fellow human? Nope, it’s who did you vote for? Well, then you must be a hateful asshole. Instant block. But who’s the asshole? Every week, the gatekeepers of horror writers have some new witch hunt. Sometimes it’s a good thing to suss out shitty publishers, editors, and agents. Yet, not ALL shitty ones are sussed out because, you know, there are consequences to getting all the shitty people shut down. Some people still like the opportunities to get published or represented even if it means going with the most despicable people because the gatekeepers didn’t get them shut down, or sometimes, don’t even notice. It all depends on who is buttering the toast.

I know more about gender-affirming care than most people with medical degrees. And that's kinda fucked, from my perspective, cuz I'm an illustrator with no formal postsecondary education. I have no business being the expert in the room, but I gotta be to advocate for my own care

sometimes i'll be thinking the main thing i'm struggling against is just transmisogyny and then see something that reminds me, oh yeah, people really despise a bipolar woman

its so wild how trans people are basically seen as this awkward distraction for the Real Issues That Matter, so we at best get tolerated and are expected to bootlick to even be given a modicum worth of respect people truly do not appreciate how much we get fucked over

my stance on covid quarantines/ lockdowns is that they were not nearly intense enough, that if we had actually done a serious and not half-assed lockdown we might have stopped the spread, and that it's absurd to pretend they were so terrible.

are there any leftist or leftist inclined presses that would publish a photo book? does Verso do photo books? I am working on a very political project and it would be neat to pitch it to a publisher :)

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Remember when it came out that Jeffrey Epstein and his billionaire rapist pals had deliberately manufactured modern movement transphobia to make us easier to exploit sexually and no one but us cared?

Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 3mo ago

all of contemporary transphobia feels so manufactured and fake and it's hard to explain how and why to people who haven't felt it happen at them but like people used to not like Really Care; there were shitty people but like no one built their life around being transphobic

As much as radicals get criticized for being "unrealistic," demanding entire demographics facing literal genocide always maintain mild rhetoric and actions is an absolutely delusional level of conformity to expect. I don't think that gets said enough.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Whenever anyone says "not all cops" they're referring to Smilin Sid Hatfield. (Or they're just full of shit).

Working Class History @workingclasshistory.com · 5d ago

#OtD 1 Aug 1921 Sid Hatfield, the pro-union chief of police of Matewan, WV, was assassinated by Baldwin-Felts detectives. He had helped defend striking miners from B-F agents the previous year, killing several. Books and commemorative items here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...
