The Art of Saying No by DeMisty D. Bellinger: Chapter One: They ask you to do something. Apologize and say no. "I'm sorry, but I can't." Give a reason. "I have a bunion." Suggest someone else. "Did'ya asked Ye? He doesn't seem too busy."

I've had people ask this in the new way, which is, "Is there anyone else in the household involved in making decisions?" I can guarantee you my husband is never asked this 😆

Agree. And honestly, imo, the most effective thing is their top-selling authors deciding to take a very public stand and refuse to work with them until changes are made.

I'm not arguing with this point--death threats are extremely common!--and absolutely, politicians should deal with it, but I keep thinking about the fact that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered and nobody blinked an eye.

Just a reminder that when you boycott publishers because you are mad at them it primarily punishes the people who are published with them and has little impact on their bottom line. (This does not apply in union contexts where workers are asking people to not cross a picket.)

Directly from trad pubbed authors before. They love that shit. You can also make posts tagging the 3 offenders on other social media platforms to tell them how you feel. Volume + no money = successful boycott. We have to support each other against AI. Employees deserve better wages and we hate AI.

Is numbers not vitriol. Ontop of calling it's important to tell them you will be boycotting them and ALL of their imprints in the meantime. Which. I will link. Yes its gonna be a lot. That is kind of the point. Support indie, reach out to the authors themselves for their books. I've bought books

We can reach HarperCollins by phone to tell them how we feel about the recent WIRED article. Remember the person on the end of the phone is not the board who made this decision. Be polite. Be professional. And be kind. You'd lose your marbles at hundreds and thousands of calls. The name of the game

Aight #booksky and #writesky it's time for a boycott of HarperCollins, Hatchette, and Simon & Schuster. Instead of paying employees they've decided to purchase and use AI. While Hatchette and Simon & Schuster can't be reached by phone to tell them how we feel as readers and writers alike.

So I decided I "definitely" wasn't going to plant any winter squash this year because the borers and squash bugs were so exhausting to manage LAST year. But then I relented JUST a little and planted a "few" borer-resistant varieties... and ended up with all this squash?? 😆

the really really really depressing reality might simply be that the process of leaving a cult which was your whole world for the first like 25+ years of your life is harder than any of us can imagine and she thinks she got all the way free but she just got suckered by a different grifter
