We moved to Mastodon late in 2022, and quickly became big fans. This is one of the reasons we set up #FediBookFair, to help #authors and #publishers to market their books.

We've also set up a Mastodon server for #IndieAuthors. If you know an author that would like to be here but thinks it's too complex, give them our details. We'll help them get set up - for free.

‘Future City Galactic Earth Railway’

Never shall I ever surrender the quirk of my jargon, diminish my lexicon, or alter my personal vernacular for the sake of evading arbitrary accusations of AI utilisations. The morphemes of my soul shant submit to the pervasive fog the tech bros have inundated creativity with.

We will endure, we will weather, we will withstand and outlast. We will still be writing long after AI time has passed.

Stand tall with your vocabulary.

“I just think goodness is more interesting. Evil is constant. You can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. But you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good, and that’s complicated.”

—Toni Morrison
