I legitimately enjoyed the heck out of this one!

The Good Place is still perfect. *sob*

On this day in 1692, Giles Corey was pressed to death at the age of 81, for not entering a plea, thus not allowing himself to be tried for witchcraft, during the Salem Witch Trials. His last words were, "More weight..." Anyway, more than 300 years later he gets a shout out in my kid's book so...

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Fantastic. www.indiewire.com/features/int...

it’s a really good time to pick up reading as a leisure form of escapism

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I just finished this one! It was great! And the cover definitely deserves to be seen. #MGHorror

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

My cat is a pain in the butt sometimes.

Yes.

I remember when they both started! I really miss the Saturday morning cartoon promos they would do in September ever year. Anyone else remember those specials? They'd show you all the new cartoons coming and clips from shows coming back. I loved that.

There are some really great editors on the sub list my agent sent, but there's one in particular I'm sending psychic vibes to "please love my book" to!!!

Writing my Hellish crew today. I've missed these little hellions. 🔥❤️

They want us to feel afraid. Fear makes us censor ourselves, stay quiet, keep our heads down. I get it; it's scary. But do not do the work of the oppressor for them. The more we speak out, the more we work in community, the less power they have. Don't let the right use fear as a wedge & cudgel.

I still want Ice Adolescence. Give me the movie!!!! And S2. That too. I STILL WANT IT!

I finished The Magnus Archives, and I am so sad to not have more episodes! Think I'll check out The Magnus Protocol next, but I'm also really excited to read Jonathan Sims' books. At the very least, getting into this a bit late gives me plenty of stuff to dive into!

I enjoyed this one!

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Yup! Don't succumb. We should protect our peace.

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

I get called radical because I want affordable housing and rational, compassionate immigration policy and gun reform that helps keep kids safe. Radicals like me are never going to kill people for our ideology because that’s literally not our ideology.

I replaced my Washington Post sub with Wired and have no regrets.

I’m heartbroken but not surprised that people are calling for my &Meeg’s bio of Sarah McBride 2be destroyed. Book bans are a prime tool of fascism It’s why we need 2 support LGBTQ+ books-which are overwhelmingly targeted in book bans. Buy them, positively review them, check them out in the library!

Love seeing my friends books!!

Omg, so cute!

The solution, as always, is gun control.

I have to know if Luis Guzman had anything to do with the "Creemees!" line on #Wednesday or if the writer actually knew we call them that here. #Vermont 💚🖤

I think it's underestimated how much it affects kids to visit a place where people care about books. Ebooks are much more convenient in many ways, but the physical monument to books makes an impression. It says that our civilization cares about this.

Doctors ignored my reports if pain for years. In high school my mom would have to come pick me up because I was puking from agony. I'd pass out at work. I was told some discomfort is normal. At 23 a (cis woman!) doctor told me if I did not stop complaining the only solution was a hysterectomy.

My college daughter saw a news story about dropping test scores speculating about the reasons and she said, "Or they're just hitting the same button over and over again like I did since it doesn't affect you in any way."

yesterday i went to a jeopardy taping and someone in production asked me to take off my n95 for when the camera sweeps the audience. i said “…no?” and then i didn’t do it. and nothing bad happened! so: try saying no more. it’s good practice for the fascism.

Saw a news video of a smash and grab of a jewelry store in California and legitimately assumed they were ICE agents at first.

All of this!

I had a dream last night, before my alarm interrupted, in full Arcane style animation with voice over narration introducing a story. I woke up and thought "that's really good!" And while I remember the idea I've lost the prose!!!!! Argh.

Paris Paloma killed it again. Love her! #GoodBoy

I see some of you dragging a shit take from the fascist site over here to dunk on it, a) why are you still on the fascist site to find that shit, b) why are dropping shit onto this site, c) when you dunk on it you just give it a new audience. Leave shitty fascist takes on the shitty fascist site.

So I want to briefly mention what next steps look like for people who are left out of the loop on this settlement. There are many of you.

Make an actual MG section and separate it by genre so kids can actually find what they're looking for. Middle schoolers do not want to wade through a sea of spines next to potty training picture books & baby toys. Give them their own space. They want the stories. They just don't know they exist!

there is a certain irony around tech bros who believe that the work of writers is largely worthless, while also claiming at the same time that they desperately need to use that written work - without compensating human authors - so they can make a bazillion dollars off LLM products.

100% We trust our publishers to do their jobs. The fact that so many authors are having to follow up on this is crazy.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.
