So did SF Kings decide not to apply, or is this selection panel as obvious about snubbing Bay Area talent as the other shows?

I have been looking online what an average cover costs a for a self published book and its on average $750. I am going on public record stating that I am more than happy to do the first 5 covers for any author for half that price at $375. No royalties, no BS. $375 and you will get my best work.

@hamleteuproject.bsky.social Shakespeare would recognize AI for what it is, having written MacBeth and Midsummer, and wouldn't fucking touch it with a ten foot pole. Though naming is after a character who intentionally spouts unhelpful gibberish at times is a fun choice!

Tweet from Pope Francis:

Our societies are too enslaved to market logic, and everything risks being subject to self-interest and the quest for profit. Volunteering is prophecy and a sign of hope, because it bears witness to the primacy of gratuitousness, solidarity, and service to those most in need.

hi! are you cis? did you see this? the senate wants to move the president’s anti-trans sports ban closer to being a law monday. democratic senators need to know fucking NYT opinion writers don’t speak for you & you think trans people’s civil rights *matter.* tap the quoted thread. please call.

an unbelievably ghoulish graph reading:

10 Columnists and Writers Rate What Mattered in Irumps First Full Month
By New York Times Opinion
Feb. 28, 2025

the y axis runs from more consequential to less consequential; the x axis runs from negative impact to positive.

the NYT writers have placed “trans issues” below the line of consequence. of so little consequence they barely make the chart. and their impact is very near the positive end of the arrow. the only thing that *is* positive is “DEI.”

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

This is effectively a snitch on women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks policy. White men can just baselessly accuse any minority of being DEI and get them fired. They created a permission structure to bring back segregation as a matter of policy by calling it anti DEI.

"Screenshot of an article by Erica L. Green, titled 'Federal workers were given 10 days to report on attempts to ‘disguise’ D.E.I. programs.' The article discusses the Trump administration's directive to federal employees to report colleagues who defy orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with warnings of 'adverse consequences' for non-compliance. Employees were given a 10-day deadline to report violations via email without facing disciplinary action."
