And: to stay in power, dictators have to shatter the very concept of human solidarity, to break bonds that might enable the country to rise up against the regime. Turning ppl against one another to dissolve trust is just Step 1. Step 2: desensitize ppl so they no longer recognize shared humanity.

A “Community Shrine” invites visitors to leave a photo of a deceased loved one. Below it sits a wooden chair with a sign: “Reserved. In memory of the millions of lives lost to genocide & violence by ICE & inhumane immigration policies.” No one is allowed to sit there.

Wow, talk about lost books. Columbus’diary of his voyages was rejected by a publisher in Seville, likely due to opposition from the Spanish King related to litigation over Columbus’ estate. The manuscript of the Diary has been lost and is only known now through others’ notes and excerpts.

This poem accompanied a photo of five Black men hanging from a Dogwood. Note: - Its celebration of White Supremacy - Its call for traditional, “Pioneer,” education. These ideas are still in circulation. They’re just more subtly packaged.

Today is World Day Against the Death Penalty. Let us seek to end this inhumane and immoral practice around the world, especially here in America. It is so deplorable that in the 21st century this is going on in a modern democracy.

“Companies” do not make decisions. Humans who hold disproportionate power within them do. Name the humans and hold them accountable. There are countless examples of failure on this, including with the bank crisis, Boeing, and tech industry harms.

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...

For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.
