Sandra has a ✨joyful✨ new podcast! 🎙️

Maybe this needs to be said, explicitly.
My post/share of happy things ≠ living in denial.

Hel-LO—I'm marginalized on multiple axes; that is not open to me. I simply refuse to marinate in despair & ruin 24/7. I think we all benefit from steeping in fun/silliness/glee regularly, like a joy hot tub

This looks pretty cool, Ozheads!

In-person and streaming tickets are available at the link below!

lmao even

I once made the mistake of unwittingly agreeing to ‘teach writing’ to 5 different classes of 12yr olds—consecutively 😅 Surprise! I’m 100% not cut out to teach kids lol
but I do remember telling them to be curious in others & the world, to practise empathy. I can only hope at least some listened 🙏

Just finished this episode.
It is heartfelt and touching.
Share with all your Bluesky friends who need a little joy in life.

NORTH CAROLINA YOU CAN DO THIS WE BELIEVE IN YOU !!!!!

If you could design a shoe named/inspired by you, what kind of shoe style would it be? Is there a designer you’d specifically want to collaborate with on it?

Absolutely side-eyeing the Authors Guild. Again.

This “human-authored certification” program smells eerily like a grift.

Me ≠ AG member but how do you trust an org that OTOH sells "ai" workshops and OTO sells this?

I oughta be surprised people have fallen for it but alas, I am not

from today's Publisher's Lunch: [blue headline text, black content text on white background] SCOTUS Refuses Challenge to Human Authored Copyright Rule On Monday, the Supreme Court refused to hear a case that challenged whether AI-created art could be copyrighted. Computer scientist Stephen Thaler sought to copyright a piece of art he created in 2018 with an AI program that he built. The Copyright Office declined his request for copyright in 2022, noting that AI-created work is not protected. Thaler brought the case to court. Now, the lower court's decision stands, holding that copyright only applies to human-created art.

Can we count this as good news?

Literally just rewatched—again 🤣

If you're in Sudbury, come out to the Doran Planetarium at Laurentian U on Thursday at 7PM to hear Madhur Anand read from her latest novel To Place a Rabbit. It's one of the most thought-provoking and unique books I've ever read, and I'm stoked that I get to ask her about it on stage!

It's out April 1st...go add it to your pull list!
