POET ⁂ GAME DEV ⁂ PROUD SNOBBYIST ⁂ FUNDAMENTALLY GOOD PERSON THEY/THEM ⁂ ICON BY @maximumgraves.bsky.social

Yeah well I grew up in a mushroom village, so I’m not really used to how you do things. We used big giant mushrooms as our houses. We used bioluminescent mushrooms as lamps. And we didn’t try to change the plan last second if the other person already made reservations I guess that’s normal here

Really good piece. It's struck me that the one group I've not seen up in arms about this is librarians, accustomed as they are to weeding collections. Pat's navigated a route between the fact that pulping is a normal part of the publishing cycle and that there are issues with this specific pulping

Me in ArtsHub on destructive scanning for AI training. We probably need to avoid fetishising books, and warehouses full of Max Walker memoirs and WordPerfect For Dummies aren't the Library of Alexandria. But even for non-rare books, destroying them *purely to maintain legal cover* is just perverse.
