So, #WritingCommunity , I hear we're introducing ourselves. I'm Helen, a 50 yr old pansexual woman with ADHD and arthritis. I write romance in SFF subgenres, PNR, and D&D one-shots. When I'm not writing, I'm with my musical theatre choir, or at home crocheting while watching TV.

How dare they prop poor and disabled writers up as an excuse to use AI?! Speaking as one who is both, I'm outraged. How dare they talk about ableism while using it themselves. NaNoWriMo can go fuck itself.

@courtneymilan Defending themselves by saying anti AI is keeping disabled and poor people from writing. I’m a working class, disabled romance writer. They can absolutely go fuck themselves. But these are the same people who sheltered a pedophile. There is no depth they won’t plumb.
