As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

A lot of rotten people are seizing on the Gaiman allegations in order to score points against the groups and politics he publicly supported. Please do not let this trick your animal brain into thinking he isn't guilty. The publishing world has horror stories about this guy going back decades.

most likely multiple outlets have been working on neil gaiman abuse investigations, so it’s a shame the outlet scooping the gaiman allegations right now did so for the wrong reasons. both the matter of fact and the matter of publishing are terrible.

Saw a video of a little Palestinian girl, still alive, a look of resignation in her eyes, with her jaw blown off. In between endless droves of Americans pretending that the only reason that Biden's in trouble is his age. The only reason, nothing else. To live in the world of empire is insanity.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

been thinking a lot about the demand for 'likeability' and 'relatability' in fictional characters, and who it excludes, and who it decides are the default kind of human and how, if the argument is that reading increases empathy, surely we should be prioritising the strange and alien to us?

One of the earliest organized film censorship campaigns involved an Episcopal “minister” attacking the peepshow movie machines at Coney Island in 1897. I use quotes because the church claimed they had never heard of him after he stole funds, jumped bail and fled. This set the pattern for censors.

We need to learn now is that if you see someone in heavily left leaning spaces following consistent cointelco process and expertly maneuvering groups into conflict routinely, and their primary method of dodging culpability is identity politic framing, if it's not an op it might as well be.
