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

Them: "I need—" Me: "Something to temporarily take your mind off ~everything~ going on? Well, let me tell you about books. Specifically books from your indie bookshop. Not only will books help you unplug and recharge, BUT you'll be supporting a small business in the process! Them: "—a paperclip."

Our Kickstarter has 48 hours left! WILD AND FULL OF MARVELS: QUEER FANWORKS INSPIRED BY FOLKLORE AND FAIRY TALES features over 40 queerified tales - short stories and art. The better our campaign does, the more we can pay the creators. Let's finish with a 🎉🎉🎉 www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

BURN DOWN MASTER'S HOUSE is now available on Kindle Unlimited! If you’re a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, you can start reading today at no additional cost. Check it out—and if you love it, please rate, review and spread the word! 🔥📚 www.amazon.com/Burn-Down-Ma...

Know what's cool? When you ask a bookseller or librarian instead of a chatbot for a book recommendation or for more information about xyz, they provide you with actually useful information. And then when you read those recs, you form your own thoughts. Just sayin' 🤷‍♀

Let's pretend I posted this like 3 weeks ago. But anyway! Emberclaw, sequel to the bestselling Dragonfall, is only 99p on Kindle for July. So if you haven't found out how Arcady & Everen's story finishes, here you go! We have weird, qu33r dragons, a university of magic, trials, yearning, etc.

Just a heads up that both of my academia books - Learning Curves and Margin of Error - are currently enrolled in Prime Reading (in the US, at least - I can't see Prime listings in other countries so you'll need to check!)
