People will always misinterpret your work, be blind to the subtext entirely, and miss things if you don't directly point them out.
Please!! PLEASE! Don't let this make you dumb everything down. Reward the people who engage with your ideas! Create the things YOU want to create!

the secret to being really artistically inspired is to surrounded yourself with people 1000x cooler than you are and also be gay

I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes. I've hurt people. I've done things I'm not proud of. But at least I have NEVER reclined my seat on an airplane.

The reverse is also true: anyone who opposes striking workers opposes you too
Every single strike is for all of us, union and non union. Every single striker is risking their income and livelihood to insist that working people deserve dignity and respect and livable wages.

Smut for smut’s sake CAN entirely be art even if the main intention is to arouse, it deserves to exist and to not have to justify itself with any other purpose or meaning

I don't know why so many well-intentioned cis folks apparently need to hear this, but nonbinary, genderqueer, gender fluid etc. are not separate categories from "trans". those are all types of trans people! unless they were somehow assigned genderqueer at birth, that genderqueer person is trans!!

when you're surrounded by what seems like everybody admitting that they feel awful about themselves, it can start to feel normal and expected that you also feel awful about yourself. but actually, it's okay to not want that! you can feel better! it takes work, and effort, but it's on the table!

This is a very important read for authors, editors, publishers, or anyone who wants to know more about the state of the industry in the face of the AI onslaught. @bonabooks.bsky.social has done an amazing job documenting their experience and their response and we can all learn from it.
AI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology.
Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened.
