When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

AI art will continue to be ineligible for copyright after SCOTUS refuses to hear the case brought by the same man whose previous appeal for patents was also rejected.
a review on Chirp of The Reanimator's Heart that says 1 out of 5 stars. I was not expecting so much gay sex in a fantasy detective story
I think I should use this as one of those enticing 1 star reviews 😂
If you want gay sex in a fantasy detective story, hit up THE REANIMATOR'S HEART, especially if you like autistic necromancers accidentally reanimating their detective crush, so they can solve his murder.

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.
For people who are trying to build a physical media library on the cheap, your local Friends of the Library is a good start, and the funds support local libraries. They can carry CDs, records, DVDs, and more, besides books…
holy fuck, just let trans people live their lives and exist, you fascist ghouls.

I worked up a little newsletter piece about how basic writercraft is rapidly becoming a thing of the romance publishing past—and how it's a past I'm very glad I was a part of. I also touch on how fanfic ties in.

Hi Jason, I just came across We Who Hunt Alexanders, and I have to say it immediately grabbed me. Amelia’s story is gripping, dark, and layered with emotion. The way you explore a monster who feels happiness, sadness, fear, and love in a world that’s cruel and unforgiving makes this story compelling and unforgettable. That’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. I run a book review service through Super Lovers Book, connecting books with real readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, and emotionally rich stories. These readers don’t just leave stars they leave thoughtful, honest reviews that highlight what makes a story unique, powerful, and worth discovering. Here’s why reviews are so important for We Who Hunt Alexanders: Build Trust: Potential readers often decide whether to pick up a book based on reviews. Authentic feedback signals that your story is worth their time. Increase Visibility: Platforms like Goodreads reward books with steady, genuine reviews, helping them appear in search results, recommendations, and “readers also enjoyed” lists. Generate Momentum: Each review encourages more readers to pick up the book, engage with the story, and leave their own thoughts, creating a snowball effect of attention. Reach the Right Audience: Reviews written by readers who love sci-fi and dark fantasy ensure your story reaches the readers most likely to appreciate and recommend it. I truly believe We Who Hunt Alexanders deserves this kind of engagement. A few honest reviews now can amplify your book’s reach, help it gain visibility, and connect it with the readers who will love it most. Would you be open to having We Who Hunt Alexanders read and reviewed by genuine readers who are passionate about sci-fi and dark fantasy? No pressure at all I just wanted to reach out because your work deserves to be discovered by more readers. Warmly, Herry Sharp CEO, Super Lovers Book
if you continue to ignore my messages, I might do something you would regret for the rest of your life. I already have access to your book, and instead of giving it a positive review, I will leave a negative one and damage its reputation. It seems you have forgotten that I have a community of readers, and I can easily influence them to bring your book down. You can try me though. CEO | Super Book Lover Curator Helping brilliant books find their people, one honest review at a time.
Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.
Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.
Now Herry is threatening me. 1/
Artists, I want you to hear this and embrace it: you're amazing. I love you and I want you to keep making art. Don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you it isn't as important and necessary as it is.
Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.
When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.
Well forgot once again to mention a release. This one released in January and it’s a collection of Stories from The Cafe at KatSimonsBooks. It’s fun and it’s a good escapist collection of shorts in a bunch of genres. Out everywhere now!

Just a reminder that it’s okay to let people have things that make them feel happy without loudly announcing that it makes you feel otherwise. Idk this just seems important lately.
