Writer, crafter, spoonie, feminist, Feral Goblin Witch. 40something Xennial. No AI. The best thing to do is show the kindness you can. Queer as in fuck you, polyamorous (but saturated!). Leftist as hell. Trans lives matter. BLM.
- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.
- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)I'd never willingly list my audio titles on Spotify, so this is a nonstarter for me. (Though I'm sure trad publishers will want to list everything they hold or lease subrights on...)

- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)A new bill in the NY state legislature would require news orgs to label any content “substantially composed, authored, or created" with generative AI. It would also require that humans review that content before publication. More details @niemanlab.org. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/a-ne...

- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)I’m not swayed by Marty Baron’s letter.

- Back to report that there was, indeed, an "add all your books to @bookshop.org" option when I signed into my @draft2digital.bsky.social account. Frabjous day! I've been waiting for this for a while, and am pleased to see it happen.
- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)The last reporter at the Washington Post should turn off the lights on their way out. Democracy dies in darkness after all

- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)We will very soon announce a new print & digital deal for THE SCOTTISH BOY! It went out of print last year when its publisher, Unbound, went bankrupt (owing me & 100s other authors SO much money). I get a couple emails a week asking for print copies of the book, but publishing moves slow 💕 (1/2)
- @alexdecampi.bsky.social I’ve been talking up this book to a friend and it doesn’t seem like it is in print. Is it only an audiobook or can she purchase an ebook somewhere?

- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)this argument is also made to defund public schools because "what about people whose kids go to private school" (unsurprisingly, I've never heard them frame the argument as "what about people without kids"*) and I just. stop it. universal access to education benefits everyone

- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)Officially, yes, and, yeah, print the legend. I suspect the truth is, in a way, more impressive. I think she was trying to get out from under Porter Wagoner and thinking about how to pull that off. And she was writing songs she wanted to keep without him taking his cut of money from her work. ...
- Reposted by Cassildra (she/they)I don’t think they’re misreading them so much as they are terrified of the implications because it means the status quo has to break. there’s no incrementalism for this. mass radicalization of this scale scares Democrats more than anything Republicans could do and I mean that literally.
