Yes! Great article for all the #writer girlies sick of male commenters treating our opinions as so unworthy of consideration that they don't even bother to construct a proper rebuttal; they just expect us to bend over backward to respond to lazy one-liners. #writingcommunity #feminism #rhetoric

Finally watched "La casa de los espíritus." While I do agree with some of the changes they made to the #book, I am so pissed that they got rid of the #abortion storyline. That could so easily have been included, even without Nick and Amanda. The fact that they didn't is total capitulation. #booksky

Here's a question for my fellow #writingcommunity members? Do you still use #Grammarly and crap like that? And if so, to what extent? Cause I have basically stopped using it for everything except typos and punctuation errors because all of its #AI BS "style" suggestions are so homogenizing. #booksky

I don't know how much attention everyone is paying to the latest #bookish drama, but I gotta say, if rightwing Christians want us to remove the #spice from our #books, I think we should honor that . . . with MORE SPICE.

Why does #Substack keep showing me articles where the #writers start out with an interesting premise, but then it turns out they think #fiction has gone downhill because there are too many women and POC writing now, or they're mad cause an author they used to like turns out to not hate queer people?

If we really want to avoid good things for women being destroyed by absurd male "discrimination" lawsuits (as if reverse #sexism could ever be a thing), we need to create a #church where only women can join and then funnel all services for women as "charity" services through that church.
