What bums me out about the response to Catapult's closure is all the people lamenting the loss of a publishing house that published their favorite books, but don't have anything to say about the workers who lost their jobs.

It's only been three weeks since I moved to Chicago and I've already encountered two book clubs that are just, like, friends vibing. Truly delightful! But still working on finding wherever the queer SFF/romance people are hiding.

Not a single parent has filed a book challenge in Palm Beach in two years.
The district just removed 1800 books anyway, because AI told them to.
There are many reasons that is unthinkable but let's not forget AI DOES NOT HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOKS. IT CANNOT READ THEM. It just makes crap up!

Palm Beach pulled 1800+ titles from its school library collections because AI flagged them for review.
Media specialists and principals must sign attestation forms verifying their libraries are compliant with vague law.
None of this is normal.

We need indie publishers. We need our literary communities to thrive. Catapult was a place where I saw students become published writers, then authors, and sometimes teachers. Where I was lucky to work and collaborate, for a while, with some of the most brilliant & kind people in the business.

with sloppy (but convincing enough) AI vibeclones on the rise, developers now face a future in which a steady stream of pre-release videos, demos, and playtests—the only reliable way to promote and build community—could be their game’s undoing
![“For new devs there [used to be] two ways of making games and getting some attention,” games industry veteran Rami Ismail—whose game, Ridiculous Fishing, was infamously cloned way back in 2013—told Aftermath. “You either make a big game that takes years, build a community around it by painstakingly and consistently building community around it, and then hope that by the time you launch your Next Fest demo you have the wishlists and momentum to not just disappear into the quicksand; or you build something ‘hook-y’ fast, post [quickly], and have it ready to launch if it goes viral. If it doesn't, you just move on.”
“Both of those models are now incredibly risky,” he explained. “The slow one because sloppers can literally see what is gaining momentum and copy the aesthetic and gameplay, launch fast and simply dupe a lot of players with an inferior and cynical game. The original will remain a superior game, but the winds will be out of [its] sails, and countless people will believe they're playing the original that they've seen a few times on the internet. The faster one is risky because ultimately, the development speed and hook-y nature of the game makes the idea and basic implementation the ‘golden’ part, but they're also very fast to clone. So as soon as something [gains] momentum, anyone with resources can burn a few grand stealing it, launching it, and making sure the actual creator never sees any opportunity.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreidje6aksv7wdvpwl2cbih54mekmezjbfeh53aszqgfy5pxb2d646u)

This goes for animation as well. Like none of us can just up and start a studio and maintain what we could have had if the studio system didn’t fail us.
please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

Assuming Counterpoint is included in the Catapult news, that means that 20% of this year's National Book Awards longlist for fiction was published by imprints that will no longer exist in their current form by the time of awards night.
