The whole thread. You won't find an author out there who doesn't agree wholeheartedly. For those of us who write for kids, it is *painful* to see articles or sm posts about parents "outsourcing" this to AI. You NEED to read to your kids. YOU need to read to your kids.

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...

For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.

There are about 100,000 people in Minnesota who are of Somali descent. A little over half were born outside the US, the rest were born here. So, citizens. And of those who are foreign born, the majority are naturalized citizens. The president is advocating violence against US citizens.

Part (but far from all) of what's horrific here is: a woman weighing the consequences of speaking up about being sexually assaulted, because speaking up imposes burdens and costs (and so does not speaking up).

If you see DARVO being used on you, pause & regulate: Take slow, deep breaths to calm your nervous system and prevent the emotional reactions that the manipulator feeds on. Stay grounded. Trust your own memory & perception of reality instead of internalizing their accusations. Disengage to safety.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

The thing about this book is that I wrote it from a deeply personal place-- it takes place where I went to hs, the main girl looks suspiciously like me-- about the rape culture I experienced at the age that was unacceptable. And all I've ever wanted for this book was its cultural irrelevance.
