the real story behind this viral photo is even more heartbreaking than the one the public created.

The Woman in the Photo Wanted to Be Alone. Instead, She Went Viral.
America saw what it wanted to see on the face of its newest icon. And everyone saw it wrong.

To quote Lena Dunham, I have loved being a woman but I have hated operating the equipment. I'm recovering from the second surgery in as many years meant to treat (not cure, there's no cure) endometriosis. This invisible condition can be extremely isolating and this thread deserves to be amplified.

Pro tip: do not use AI to write your cover letter for a submission to a literary magazine. Seriously, just don't. It's a major turn off and very obvious and makes the editor reading your submission barf a little.

We are the LARGEST union in trade publishing history, and we want better for our workers in order to make a sea change for creatives everywhere. Let's take a stand together against the existential threats to the arts, whether stagnating wages, the AI slop machine, and destructive layoffs.
Screen cap of Publishers Lunch article stating "Hachette Boom Group Employees Unionize" by Erin Somers. Start of article: "Employees of Hachette Book Group announced they have unionized with Washington-Baltimore News-Guild Local 32035 of the AFL-CIO. They have signed up a supermajority of 600 workers, making it the largest union in trade publishing history. The union says it is seeking better benefits, protections, and rights for workers, as well as increased equity, transparency, and agency in the workplace."

if you’re trying to “save time” as a writer by using AI, i suggest you find another profession. it takes time to write well, time to write exciting books. it takes time to write one good poem. i’ve spent years on a single poem. the time spent learning one’s craft is everything

When you love a thing you'll always find your way back to it. Also, a writer doesn't stop writing. You might not be putting words on the page, but you're absorbing life and subconsciously storing ideas. When you do come back to the page you will have been enriched by this time away.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.
