A big moment for me was seeing people (mostly educated!) who didn't know who Amber Heard was suddenly villainizing her in the group chat. Propaganda works and our online infrastructure is set up to elevate grievance and hate.

Anyways, uh, fuck this shit, don't use genAI, and support small projects trying to be genuinely collaborative, rather than this awful tech built with a philosophy of other people's consent & privacy not mattering.

One thing I think is EXCEPTIONALLY weird how sure ppl are that romance authors are writing diary entries about their personal lives. No one thinks someone writing about a murder at Stanford is a criminal; and yet, the blithe certainty people have about Ali Hazelwood’s personal life.

Honestly, that 90s Charlie’s Angels with Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore is pretty great.

Romance CAN do almost any fucking thing. Having a romance plot does not mean a book isn't full of other details, other enquiries. There is no other genre that cares so much and so deeply about human relationships in all their forms.

I get pretty fucking sick of people assuming romance readers are stupid to be honest. As someone who works on the history of romance, who teaches romance, there is always so much going on. Reflections of and on contemporary society, questions about love and relationships, about gender...

Having seen the Joyce Carol Oates very bad, not good tweet about romance and AI, I can't help thinking about the way that romance has been treated as a punching bag for so long and always by people who are completely unwilling to engage with the genre and know little about it.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

now this is a funny thread, but the truth is, it makes a fundamental error. Every romance reader knows that it's Nora Roberts who is gonna take you fucking down. This is a woman you should NEVER mess with.

Will the WNBA finally address the racism of parts of the Fever fandom now that they’ve come for the M’VP? Probably not, but they will assess her for a tech for responding to whatever harassment was leveled at her. And you know it had to be bad because A’ja doesn’t go off like that.
