- Reposted by Oona FrawleyThe CDC purged terms such as “transgender,” “L.G.B.T.” and “pregnant person,” from its website to comply with an executive order. Intense backlash prompted the reinstatement of some resources. But guidelines for safe contraception and information on racial inequities in health care remain missing.

- Reposted by Oona FrawleyGood morning. AI will obliterate genre fiction in the next few years as corporate publishing will get into bed with AI and fall out of love with writers. Agents and writers will become redundant. If you want great new writing with a soul, always choose indies. @thebookseller.bsky.social
