The HWA has apologized for the AI article and specifically apologized for the inclusion of Indigenous water rights struggles in the AI column, and removed the newsletter writer from their board position. I’m deeply appreciative of the apology and of all who expressed solidarity in my post about it.
Me, a few minutes ago: "Why, surely whatever is in the HWA newsletter can't be THAT bad." Oh yes. It can be that bad. What the actual fuck, @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social?
considering my recent experience in the nuked HWA discord server, this doesn’t shock me. @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social , pls do better. i can’t be paying membership fees to an org that publishes such uninformed nonsense. genAI writing/submitting=Poshmark listings smh.
Holly Lyn Walrath@hollylynwalrath.bsky.social · 22h agoThere is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
It's bonkers to say that someone using AI isn't the enemy. Dude. I am a professional artist who studied design. AI art is stealing from folks like me.
the Kindle edition of @iftheresanyoneleft.bsky.social's Volume 6 (featuring my fantasy flash "Little Fish") is on sale right now for 50% off. I know a portion of these sales go to the ultimate evil but you can also support a small press and marginalized authors! #specfic #speclit #queerlit

if you guys catch 5 quiet minutes today, please give “Age Cannot Wither Her” a read. it’s a sapphic love story that begs the question: do we really *have* to let go of the ones we love when they die? it also may or may not have a surprise beheading.

“In the last frog-croaking days of August, Céline had wrapped her hands, gently, around the circumference of Beatrice’s neck while she slept. She felt her pulse, strong and hard under her fingers, and wept. Precariously clinging to a wooden shop ladder, handsaw and sandpaper worked together…”
