Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

That's racist” and “you're racist” are fundamentally different statements. People are complicated and good people can have bad opinions. Sometimes just momentary blunders. “That’s racist”, means I believe you're worth the following conversation. I don't bother telling someone “You’re racist.”

The AI industry’s seizure of other people’s property, declaring it to be worthless, then pricing it at a premium once “processed” through them, has a historical precedent, and it’s not a good look. Yup. It’s good old colonialism. open.substack.com/pub/joelmorr...

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy. The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.
