Willow Talks Books - Trans book author and reviewer + book discussions. I don't always agree with her but I appreciate that she's open to criticism. She mainly reads sci-fi, horror and fantasy.

Spotify Publishes AI-Generated Songs From Dead Artists Without Permission

The Fandom Platform Diaspora - "The history of fandom being kicked off a site when we're no longer considered a desirable demographic leaves many fans bitter and jaded when it comes to social media."

We Need to Talk About Tales of the Shire... (Full Review) - I just like listening to people talk about games I don't play and this pretty interesting.

"Why is this show SO obsessed with giving Spock a girlfriend?" - This kind of puts me off watching Strange New Worlds but I'll still try it.

"I Want a Wife (1971)" - This manifesto deserved a reward, 'cause damn.

Thanks for these! The Spotify one just pisses me off. And I enjoyed reading the Fandom Platform Diaspora in a sad way because of living through some of the events mentioned. Disappointed that whoever is producing/creating for the ST shows seem to be really pushing the het agenda. And holy heck, I want a wife as well LOL

Thank you for sharing the article about fandom diaspora. I got a laugh at "tumblr has been declared dead many times" bit. It got me thinking a bit about where the fandom freaks (loving) are hanging out and I think I find most of them on tumblr or here in DW participating in exchanges. I hope they/we never leave.
