I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

An aircraft passenger oxygen mask: a drop down passenger mask with air bag and yellow plastic mouth and nose cover, oxygen tube has been cut; Demonstration model used by flight attendant crew for passenger instruction. Has text on the side indicating that it's non-functional.

It's always heartbreaking when a lit mag goes away, but it's also a reminder about how much human care and effort goes into making a space for art. Transience doesn't make something less beautiful.

Hey all, @beansbaker5.bsky.social here. After much deliberation, and many missed deadlines, we've decided to end submissions to JAKE indefinitely on Feb. 15th (two weeks from today). All open submissions will receive a response, and all announced/scheduled work will release, but we're winding down.

Hi friends, just checking in from Minneapolis. Can we put out a couple asks for your support? 💕 Turns out, it's really hard to run a lit mag in your free time when the federal government has besieged your beloved city.

New CNF (my first!) is out now at @paranoidxtree.bsky.social 🛍️ I wrote it almost exactly a month before I quit this job and didn't think I would ever send it out. Grateful to the editors for picking this up and Ruth Baccam for grasping the crux of this story when they created the accompanying art 💞

*banging pots and pans together* QUEER SCIFI WITH LIKE ROBOTS AND SHIT. I've read it, it's very good. And sad. But good. My marketing is at about the same level as Alexis', clearly

I've been sitting on this blog post since August, but I finally posted yesterday about my plan to publish my gay sci-fi book: alexisamesbooks.com/2025/10/10/a.... I'd like to say that my marketing in the coming months will be better than this but tbh that's probably a lie. #WritingCommunity #SFF
