Going to try better phrasing so it doesn’t trigger others. Heck with the Inside Out team, Despair is currently driving my brain. Am on Bluesky break until the static and catastrophic thoughts clear. Be well, and take care.

A job I was looking forward to just fell through because I requested a very basic “please don’t feed my work into the AI garbage chute pls” clause in the contract That was apparently against company policy and non-negotiable If anyone needs a book cover I have an opening in my schedule

wow, standing on principle sure is expensive

2am is quite the brain hour, right? It's like I can only have great ideas or a huge existential crisis.

How are you all managing the emotional response to mainlining news on Bluesky? I should probably stop as soon as I feel overwhelmingly sad and helpless, but the desire to also be informed is huge.

This is in Donnelly Idaho as a result of hb 710, which makes libraries financially liable for any complaint of "inappropriateness" Identical legislation is on the floor in Idaho. Book bans used to be quaint, a result of moral panics that ebbed and flowed. Now they're organized. This is the result

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.
