Hi Sakshib! Thank you for asking a question. Especially an easy one. The answer is absolutely yes.

This post brought to you by the fact that I thought I'd revisit season 1 of Veronica Mars just for fun, just to see how that goes, and now my life and productivity are ruined.
@lisandravcomedy.bsky.social's skits are supposed to be parodies, but they're just reenactments at this point
My brain is so completely frustrating because what do you mean I can't consume media normally? That I'm either entirely disinterested or I'm compelled to obsessively consume it and read every wiki article until I exhaust myself and can finally move on?
Headed to nttbfest this Saturday? @fiercereads.bsky.social will be doing an ARC drop that includes galleys of The Bloody and the Damned! Make sure to check out their booth at 1 PM CST to get a chance at one! #booksky
What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?
Against a background of dark violets and green leaves is shown the illustrated cover of Enchanting the Fae Queen, in which a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sits perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Above that cover image is this snippet of text: He could not bear a world without his nemesis in it.
This week's Monday snippet comes from Enchanting the Fae Queen, which is out in ebook, paper, and audiobook:

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”
It's my birthday on Wednesday, and I'm going to give away a bunch of these ARCs sitting on my desk. Multiple chances for entries, including if you subscribe to my newsletter, so I'm just gonna....slide this link on over....

He would make space for me inside that light if I let him.

the kind of story that already reads like a history of this moment
CRUNCHY CHILI OIL AND IT'S AMAZING
As hard as we are fighting, book bans are having an impact on the books being written and published. To put this another way, a very small number of well-funded people who don't write books, don't teach books, don't work in libraries are trying to decide what books are available for everyone else
We are happy to throw down for this organization any day, anytime
Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.
And using Compass Classroom lists for okaying book choices for classic literature is a big NOPE from me (and probably other school teachers and librarians).
as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...
(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
I think about the glue factory. When AI relieves us of our need for your labor we can transform you (horse-like) from a means into an end: glue.
For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

Tim Walz isn't declaring an eviction moratorium in Minnesota, so many families affected by ICE are at risk of eviction in a few days. Please donate to the rent funds at keepMNhoused.com if you have some scratch.
"Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men.
This isn’t a guess. It’s the finding of a Harvard Business School meta-analysis examining eighteen studies, over 140,000 participants, across multiple countries."

I appreciate this and he hit the nail on the head.

final part: my concluding thoughts and response to the argument that using gen AI in our books is "inevitable" #booksky
