Let's talk $$$ We spent 3x on the convention this year. Last year's convention raised more than $17k. This year? We're sitting at $13.5k. That sounds like a lot, but friends, we TRIPLED how much we spent on the event. And we've made a LOT less. Help us out? flights-of-foundry.org/donate/

I was so horrified to learn that there are editors/reviewers who do this that I now have legal language in my book contract specifying that my unpublished manuscript draft cannot be uploaded into an LLM (also shout out to University of California Press! They were super lovely when I requested this.)

if you are reviewing an unpublished manuscript and you have the sheer unmitigated audacity, cheek, gall and laziness to upload it into an LLM to generate a review, let me tell you, you should be shunned and tarred and feathered

Research is part of the writing process. It inspires me with ideas I'd never have had if I hadn't gone down the rabbit hole myself. The thrill of that missing puzzle piece sliding into place? Priceless. I refuse to give up the joy of being surprised by learning to LLMs. (Not to mention, they lie.)

Amanda Helms - Preorder THE UPPER TENTACLE @amandaghelms.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

✨✨✨COVER REVEAL✨✨✨ I'm delighted with my cover design and art by Caroline Teagle Johnson, who nailed the retro, campy vibes I requested for my debut, THE UPPER TENTACLE! TUT publishes 02 09 27 from Union Square &. Co, but preorders are available now! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amand...

On a faded background of a green tentacle on a pink backdrop, the cover for THE UPPER TENTACLE shines in all its pink, green, and red glory! A green tentacle coils upward, and a silhouette of a woman dangles one-handed from its tip. Title THE UPPER TENTACLE, in red, interweaves with the upper portion of the tentacle, and the author's name, also in red, is at the bottom. "February 9, 2027" is above the cover, and "Preorders available" is below it.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated. After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

NY Times headline and photo + caption

They Had Done Everything Right?
ICE Detained Them Anyway.
Dozens of refugees with valid status have been sent from Minnesota to Texas to be revetted, prompting a lawsuit. Those released have had to pay their way back.

Underneath is a photo of DHS officer with a kiss and a gun getting out of a car. The caption reads as follows: “More than 100 refugees with no criminal record from about a dozen countries have been detained in Minnesota by agents in recent weeks.”

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence. It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
