I've received so many predatory comments/messages from men using Bluesky as a dating service. I post poetry. I'd thought of removing pics that include me, but why would I want to have to do that? Legit people can find me elsewhere. This post will stay up for a bit, then I'll cancel my profile.
![Book cover of "Giant Robot Poems: On Mecha-Human Science, Culture & War" depicts a giant humanoid robot figure in silhouette, overwatching a misty forest landscape at twilight. The graphic reads, "NEW REVIEW!!! Journal of Veterans Studies, and quotes reviewer Anthony James Albright. The full quote is:
"'Giant Robot Poems: On Mecha-Human Science, Culture & War Vol 01' is a pulpy reminder that [military] veteran writers write about more than just blood and guts. It shows that works about veteran-related topics can be about more than recovery, loss, healing, or all of the typical fodder for veteran work. It is just a fun, thought-provoking collection of Sci-Fi poems from a group of veteran and non-veteran writers that works cohesively together.
There are no lines between the veterans and non-veterans. There are no markers to signify that one writer should be on a plinth and another seated, looking up. It’s a cohesive collection that addresses pressing questions for society about the expansion of post-humanism. It stands as a clear call for humans to have conversations, regardless of background, about where we’ve been and where we’re going."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ihnmu6yz7a356hvzwobv4j6/bafkreiee3awyxvhj2ddzg3yciu773u7y37rgal66u7klomg37clmmly6ji)
