Except where otherwise noted, all content on this site—including all of the writing as well as the visual design and layout—is copyright mandy brown and may not be reproduced without permission.

Book excerpts are used under the fair use doctrine and remain the copyright of their respective authors.

I believe strongly that fair use practices are critical to creative endeavors, my own as well as those of nearly every writer included in the library. But the purveyors of large language models have violated the basic tenets of that social contract, both in using those creative endeavors to build systems for war, detention, surveillance, and climate destruction, and in refusing to give the people subject to their impacts any say in their deployment. As such, I do not consent to any part of this site being used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems, and I expressly reserve my work from the text and data mining exception.

In other words, fuck right off to every so-called “AI” scraper out there.
