Happy (slightly delayed) anniversary to my beautiful @babayagasKFChut! Somehow it's been three years! There's no photos of you because I didn't want the person behind you to think I was taking photos of them, but I promise I love you more than the food!

1 - it's not "suddenly", it's always been a thing
2 - anyone shocked that gen z are more than they're stereotyped to be is an idiot
3 - anyone surprised bookshops are preferred over algorithms hasn't been paying attention
4 - in other breaking news, grass green sky blue

I'm so fed up of this guy. He keeps popping up all over the book industry, waffling on about how AI is good actually, and people keep platforming him. We *need* the industry at large to reject this shit, and properly support actual people who are out there doing actual writing

I hate to see people congratulating WotC for this, as if it isn't the billionth time they've pulled some shit. We shouldn't have to keep calling out their shitty decisions. Fuck WotC, they don't deserve your money

Bristol, Brighton, Walthamstow, Liverpool... People are on the streets taking their country back

Taking it back from the far right, the facisist, the racist, the agitators, the rioters, the hate, the division

Hope will always beat hate

We are many, they are few..
