Re-upping this since the latest round is targeting Natives. But also this is preying on people’s good nature, since so many of the AI videos set up a narrative where a marginalized person is seemingly bullied for their art/craft.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

My friend of 17 years, Piper Drake, passed away this week. She was 49. I know the exact date I met her because she sent me a email that day. I had been on a panel at Philcon. She asked me if she really had a chance at reaching her dream of becoming a writer. I told her that yes, absolutely yes.

I got to “honored to be your ancestor” and started sobbing. I don’t even know what to say. It’s cliche to say that someone was a light, but Alice was, in both the sense of being a warm glow to find your way home and bright sun to burn the fuck out of the unwary. I hope we can honor her legacy.
