When I saw the way she was beating on that man I was wondering if these men were gonna sue. ABC did put them in harm's way letting them be alone with this violence criminal.
Bye Wig Hello Drama@HousewivesHub
According to TMZ, five contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul’s cancelled season of The Bachelorette are considering legal action against ABC and Warner Bros. Discovery. They reportedly feel they put their lives and jobs on hold for the show, only for it to be scrapped before airing. The men also allegedly believe the production created an unsafe work environment by allowing Taylor to interact with them in intimate settings despite her past alleged violence. The season was cancelled shortly after TMZ released the 2023 video, leading to major financial losses for the network and disrupting plans for the next season of The Bachelor. #SLOMW

@Cherry0Reese @macheteada Lol my family when they moved here were like I finally understand why Americans aren't bathing multiple times a day.

@macheteada They don't understand, it's sweaty crotch and armpit weather all year 😭

@_JackPBrown The way I've seen authors fake blurbs those authors might not have even read it tbh.

Suddenly AI fiction is so easy to detect, but dozens of early readers of Shy Girl gave it 4-5 star reviews, a Big Five editorial team didn't see anything wrong with it, and at least 3 professional, bestselling authors liked it enough to endorse and have their names on the cover!
English
It's so funny that me telling people "be careful and have full evidence of AI usage before making career-ending accusations" is being read as fearmongering by some. As if pile-ons aren't thrilling pastimes for those who generally don't care about evidence before accusing.

Because a lot of newer YA authors write YA for adults intimidated by adult books
🐍Cherry's Savage Garden🐍🇭🇹🇯🇲@Cherry0Reese
I will say I'm very disappointed about a lot of new authors (especially those who write YA), who scoff at the idea of their books being in libraries. Books are more expensive than ever and they're wondering why a kid won't put down $25+ for your book? Of course they won't read it

I read The Marriage Narrative so you don't have to, but if you're interested in a Claire Kann book you probably should

I watched the full footage and I was expecting Tom Jefferson's concubine levels of foolery. Did he not want it to be released because he was on his way to his sidepiece's house?

🚨 BREAKING: Newly-released police body cam from Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest in Sag Harbor, NY shows him struggling through field sobriety tests, and his friend playing the *NSYNC card.

Cuz they aren't giving these books sharp edits. They don't give books that weren't already published sharp edits most of the time. You think they're giving books already selling like hotcakes multiple passes? They saw it trended and bought it.

@amykdebellis @neon_heartbeat A question though, if this went through a publishing house, how did they make this pass through their processes and hit the shelves with it being so terrible (I'm listening to a YT take down on this novel youtube.com/watch?v=GbeKTa…)

Look what I found at Haiti Cultural Exchange today. A book centering the boom of Haitian artists.
Haiti didn’t have an arts facility until 1944, thanks to American watercolorist DeWitt Peters and local artists like Hector Hyppolite. It helped birth the Haitian Arts Movement.
English
An author going the AI cover route tells me they don't respect other artists enough to pay then for their work and that they don't mind piracy and plagiarism since stealing from other artists learlt isn't a problem.
@
@MsWOCReader I think that's a weird assumption to make. Writing and art/design are not the same skillset. That's why in trad publishing they have a team of designers/marketers who know exactly what they're doing. If an author can't afford to pay an artists, ai might be a decision they made to

These teens were highly sexualized and they tried to pimp them out to other people in the industry.

it is truly a lost art form 😭
English
@mamiwatta4ever I'm talking about self pub aka the people in charge of their own covers.
English
@MsWOCReader Just be careful w this one! Many bigger traditional publishing houses do NOT give authors that much say over covers. And like in any business, new writers may not have the same ability to advocate for themselves as those w more experience

@_JackPBrown She previously was running a fake hoodoo/spiritualist scheme.

In the Reddit post about Shy Girl, the phrase "quiet violence" is argued to be a ChatGPT signature. Ngl this reads like something I would write. I'm glad Shy Girl was pulled (the author admitted that AI was used for editing) but I worry about LLMs' impact on style and voice.

I side eyed it the other day alongside that convo about only Black girls from the burbs being whimsical
Veena@MsWOCReader
See this is why I love my friends. Cuz we saw that journal on Threads and side-eyed from jump!
English
@_JackPBrown And right now on Threads there's another discourse because people immediately jumped on buying an AI journal for Black women from a known scammer.

@MsWOCReader 🫤🫤🫤 I was aware of the editor thing but not all of that. So there should have been enough controversy beforehand to give Hachette pause.
