With my internship coming to a close, I'm naturally looking for ways to get a job in publishing. I did get an interview for an entry-level role, but I only made it to the top 2. Are there any pieces of advice I should implement to better my job search? Thank you! #AmEditing

Script: Hello, I'm [name], and I'm deeply troubled and concerned with the new policy changes. This new change will harm artists, media creators, and bluesky's reputation as an outlier in the social media game. 3. I select the "product feedback/suggestions" for the category (CONT.)

Thank you for trusting me with proofreading Excoriate! 🪱 I loved editing this work and getting immersed in its world through doing so! This is around 17k words, but every scene packed a killer punch! Looking forward to seeing it released! 🐛 ♥️ #selfpublishing #proofreading #horrorfiction

would you love me if i were a carnivorous worm the size of a horse that spits hallucinogenic acid and fucks good? 🐛 COMING SOON

cover of a book called Excoriate by me, piamo. Surrounded by the usual arrows and tropes, which are listed as follows:

hallucinations
skin picking
gay worm smut
dread
moby dick
prom gone wrong
product placement
one labubu reference

The cover of the book has a sickly yellow-green tint, and features diagrams of dissected worms transposed on top of a painting of a swamp

Dear Aussies, the creativity of games and literature is once again threatened. This is beyond their intent to protect children; it's a campaign censoring creative expression of sexual, violent, and queer media. Next thing you know, there'll be no women protags or representation in media at all.

Action for Australian folks: register a concern about Collective Shout's wrongful listing as a charity, do so on the Australian Charity and Non-Profit Commission website Collective shout's profile + ABN: www.acnc.gov.au/charity/char... Raise a concern with the ACNC: www.acnc.gov.au/raise-concern

Message from a user called BBBen on discord:
Collective Shout, who have been provoking this latest wave of trouble are registered as a charity in Australia, but their work seems to be purely as a political activist organisation generating moral panic. This is against the rules for registering as a charity.

If any Australians (Aussies only, please! It's counter-productive for people from elsewhere to do this) want to register a concern about their wrongful listing as a charity, then you can do so on the Australian Charity and Non-Profit Commission website. Here's the relevant links.

Collective shout's profile, including their ABN: https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/charities/8f14b7df-39af-e811-a963-000d3ad24077/profile

Raise a concern with the ACNC: https://www.acnc.gov.au/raise-concern

You can also attach evidence, which would probably help, though any concern is a valid one to post. Just explain the situation and try to call attention to the fact that political lobbying is not charitable work. You can go into other relevant details if you wish. All of this only takes a minute.

The first review is in! "This is a story of transformation, trust, and the fragile negotiations between neutrality and intervention. Though billed as science fiction, its heart is literary: character-driven, formally inventive, and rich in metaphor." Pre-order is live :) a.co/d/gYE3Vll

Wei Zai had become emperor long before she died, but when she did, she became stuck within her own imperial mausoleum. After waking up from prolonged slumber, she realized that more than a millennium ...
