Riverborne by R Parker delivers something both surreal and beautiful. Naming the protagonist Ghost feels like a narrative promise — and the story truly fulfills it. The pacing is slow but deliberate, building toward something I actually want to see unfold! @Libraro_ shorturl.at/jk64B

Before I was a teacher, I was a writer. This is a YA fantasy novel I wrote back when spare time was still a thing. Please have a look at the first few chapters on #Libraro for their Reader Engagement Prize and give it a like. Do it for the children. They want a happy teacher. app.libraro.com/feed

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.

New: A few weeks ago, when my father-in-law died, the funeral home asked if we wanted to use AI to write his obituary. So I dug into it and found that it's the biggest new trend in "death care." Tens of thousands of AI obits have been made already. Often the families don't even know wapo.st/4okuxIg
