Authors, you’re going to want to check this database…

Thank you, my dear @jtargaryen18 for sharing this info too. 💕 I’m sorry your books were stolen as well.

Meta, which is Facebook, Instagram and Threads, is now involved in a massive lawsuit. Internal memos have been released that prove Meta intentionally stole hundreds of thousands of books - including all of mine - to data scrape and train their AI. Here’s a link to see if they’ve stolen your work too: bit.ly/4iRK92t

There’s a class action suit just about to be launched, they’re waiting for the judge to determine if this is protected under the Fair Use laws, which it is absolutely not.

I am begging you to see that piracy is inexcusable, whether it’s a single person who doesn’t want to pay for the book to a despicable multi trillion dollar corporation who thinks they’re entitled to take your creative work for free. Authors write because we love it, because we love sharing these stories with you, because we love your reactions so much.

Because this is our community.

But we’re also supporting families, and piracy, plagiarism and theft are inexcusable, no matter what the circumstances. Here’s another helpful link to the Author’s Guild info: bit.ly/41S55zz

This is exactly why I'm pushing myself to read as much as I can this year. It's giving me an outlet where I can be active and still rest. Keeping up an activity that brings me constant joy has been terribly difficult but reading has helped get out of that lazy/ mopey feeling. I truly hope that others can find a hobby that will bring them joy the way reading has done for me.

I been so depressed not even in the terribly sad and emotional sense but more in the lazy and mopey sense where nothing is fun or interesting and I am so tired I can't force myself to do anything :-|

Share your book wishlist for Xmas!!

It's a very long list, so here's my wishlist:

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

Happy Sunday! Hope it’s cozy with some good reads.
