I won’t be deleting my profile, but because I refuse to have any new tweets feed AI, I’m now over on 🦋 as @oatesam

Recent pitch events have helped me meet a lot of other amazing writers and I’m hoping to build back my connections there too! #WritingCommmunity

People don't hate generative AI because "technology scary", they hate it because it's a plagiarising slop machine polluting the internet and everything else with slop and replacing human labour with slop.

[Ayden June Fitzgerald is Querying Hermione 🏛️ @aydenjunewrites]

Hello #Agents I am proud to present the official agents guide for my revised 98k Greek mythology retelling about the life of Hermione of Sparta. ⚔️ 🏺
This book has:
• Complex mother, daughter relationships
• a MC who’s fatal flaw is empathy
• Cycles of family violence

[Danai Christopoulou | VILE LADY VILLAINS out NOW @Danaiwrites]

My book is out today in the UK! If you like Shakespeare, this book might be for you. If you hate Shakespeare, this book might be for you.

But if you hate Agamemnon… this book is definitely for you!

I'm not over the fact that Achilles's dominant character trait is his thirst for eternal glory and glory is baked into Patroclus's name... what was Homer smoking

Y'all know that asexuality isn't a lifestyle choice for people who can't get laid right?

[mizo ︎︎◝✩ @mizombs]

Explaining asexuality to someone who doesn’t get it feels like banging your head against the wall repeatedly

y'all forget that aros and aces exist and are queer too

[kavi (he/it) @aroacespidey]

everyone should learn about amatonormativity

[Yasmin Benoit, MSc @theyasminbenoit]

It's #LGBTHistoryMonth! Asexual and aromantic people are part of queer history. With this year's theme being Science & Innovation, I wish we were at a point where science wasn't still being used to harm our communities through our continued medicalisation and pathologisation.

Counterpoint: no they won’t

[Alejandro Villarreal @alamofilmguy]

An anecdote I cherish is Mandy Patinkin once asked Rob Reiner what The Princess Bride was about. Reiner said it’s about a grandfather telling his grandson that the most important thing in in the world is love. I think that’s beautiful.
