My book “This is Fine: Life Lessons for a World on Fire” is out today. Online and at select retailers.
❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

There’s something to the fact that if you were already boycotting Tim Horton’s & NYT in solidarity with Palestine then you’d be already be set for solidarity with trans folks impacted by those outlets. Palestine is a crisis and a moral litmus test for how you care for and about oppressed people.
One thing I will add to @maris.bsky.social excellent rant: The easiest thing publishers could do about the tragedy of AI in books is...NOT FUND THE FUCKING TECH COMPANIES THAT MAKE IT BY USING IT THEMSELVES!!!! You were fine without it a year and half ago!!!!! Just fucking do that!!!!!!

Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:

We've been quiet for a while, as things were in a holding pattern in the state. Unfortunately, today that ended. Librarians in Arkansas are now beholden to Act 372, one of the worst library laws to ever hit the books. To read today's ruling: www.nwahomepage.com/news/state-n...
Federal appeals court rules Arkansas law concerning children’s access to ‘obscene’ library books can take effect
An Arkansas law that would prohibit minors from accessing materials that are considered “obscene” will be allowed to take effect following a federal judge’s ruling.

Seanan McGuire@seananmcguire.bsky.social · 6d agoDuring the Create Your Own Novel panel at SDCC this year, the best proposal I have ever heard from another panelist was made, specifically: writers should have walk-on music like wrestlers when we come out for panels.
That day when I was looking through a 14th-century romance. First impression: That's not a very good stag, is it... Closer look: OMG LOOOOOL #medievalmanuscripts
My options are farmer, farmer, bank teller turned housewife, or important guy at the glass factory.

DHWU will fight for our amazing senior editors, and we call on Dark Horse to join us in good faith negotiations. No more underhanded attempts to reduce our union membership. The herd stands strong!
As of now, Senior Editors are not supervisors, but Dark Horse is hoping to sidestep this by giving them supervisory responsibilities and acting as if they were there the whole time.
