Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

1. Schools are now introducing AI without notifying parents, regardless of the negative affect on children's ability to think and function. If you have a child in public school in the US I strongly suggest a letter accompany them to school opting out of any and all AI use.

I'm gonna be SUPER annoying about this for the next week and beyond. These books started coming out a decade ago, and there's things I wouldn't do again, but I'm still really proud of them.

15. Recommend and Review a Book The Lord of the Wood by @elizmanderson.com came out last month and it is simply incredible. Atmospheric and spooky while being full to the brim with lovable characters. It’s so good.

So. Found out a year later that I am in fact allowed to talk to you about books I wrote. I’m even allowed to tell you you should buy them. I’m just not allowed to sell them like…out of my house. Jason can! So. Now that I have fully wasted a year: holy shit I have written 9 books please look

Hi! I'm Anna. I am a disabled and queer author of similarly queer and disabled YA and adult SFF. Will post a short synopsis of each, followed by representation you can expect and links where you can find that work. I will not cover every platform, but my books are available widely. Ready? Long 🧵:

"they literally can't own the protocol" I will continue blocking early and often while repeating this under my breath like a mantra!!

Tyler King@tyleraking.com · 2d ago

Start courting “both sides” this becomes just another social media wasteland. Which is why the first rule of bsky is block early and often. Blocking keeps the peace. Blocking purifies and landscape. Blocking is ownership. I don’t care who the CEO of BlueSky is, they literally can’t own the protocol.

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes
