  I'm getting predatory "write a bunch of fiction for $750" emails again only now they're *explicitly* using AI: "We use AI-assisted translation with human review and AI-generated initial covers. Manuscripts...are not provided to third parties for AI training." Sure, Jan. Also: fuck off into the sun

  in the runup to the 2024 election, Trump tripled down on the most vile misogynistic anti-trans outright fascist rhetoric... and it helped him (some)people were like HELL YEAH women shouldn't have the vote & made sure to get their rancid ass to the poll Just in case you're thinking of staying home

  "cooperatives are the means through which an economy in service of these principles – communal, ecological, feminist – might be built... they challenge not just economic exploitation but also the patriarchy, racism, colonialism and statism entwined with capitalism." https://aeon.co/essays/what-cooperatives-for-an-anticapitalist-peace-look-like

  It really is remarkable how much every tech company is now just PURE FUCKING EVIL and intent on inserting themselves in between every human interaction so they can monetize it, monopolize it, control it... ...and now they want to insert themselves between you & THE ACTUAL ART. It's deeply inhuman. https://writerbeware.blog/2025/12/12/kindles-new-gen-ai-powered-ask-this-book-feature-raises-rights-concerns/

  AI is a fundamental attack on what it means to be human... which makes it incredibly dangerous to people and society, but it also inherently prompts a re-examination of all our social constructs, which opens the possibility of re-imagination... https://bsky.app/profile/tressiemcphd.bsky.social/post/3mwll5j6xq22v

  LIBRARY MAGIC: Libraries are community centers and I love seeing the increased usage of them, but I'm noticing (both old and new library systems) that the ebooks/audiobooks are always checked out but the paper books (that I get) are often no wait.

  I am the word witch. I have the magic. The men behind the machines keep stealing the spells after they're cast, but they can't recreate the magic because they aren't the source, and no matter how clever they make their machines, they can only steal, not create. We are the source. We have the magic. Don't forget it.

  This is an underreported aspect of the repair cafe experience ❤️ "Marissa brought in a travel backpack that needed a seamstress. She is trying to learn to sew herself, and sitting at the cafe felt like a one-on-one lesson." https://missionlocal.org/2026/09/mission-repair-cafe-san-francisco-environment/ h/t @toddmedema@wandering.shop

  I have very specific wishes for Anthropic's IPO in October: 1) that it happen (thus triggering payout to authors) 2) that it fails spectacularly immediately afterward And then send Lina after them

  So I learned today that house appraisers are biased against solar (at least the one who came to my house). He absolutely won't include any extra value to the house for having solar despite covering 50-70% of our electric usage including EVs. (Hint: he's bad at his job) 1/n
