Today's story is "Adult Male Relationships are Super Hard" by Cuyler Meade. @cuylermeade.bsky.social #ratbag #ratbaglit #litmag #literarymagazine #micro #micros #mundanecryptids

It’s a real struggle. My sales do best in-person (paperbacks). I do many local events. My 2nd highest sales are Amazon. It’s taken me a year to make any sales on Kobo & that’s been 4 whole books in 2026. D2D hasn’t worked out w/ technical issues. I’ve sold one ebook on D2D.

I mean look at Bezos. Yes ordering books online was an innovative idea. God bless. And how did Jeff get those books to people to make his billions? The post office that taxpayers built and subsidized for over 250 years.

Water is going to be off all day tomorrow, so I'm going to two matinees: Project Hail Mary in the morning, and Mandalorian in the afternoon. Might as well be out doing something.

I have 3 (FREE? in this economy? YES) e-book codes: Stone Heart (book 1). Feel free to DM. I apologize they link to Amazon. Ugh. Book 2 will be out in ebook by end of May. Paperback=early June, don't even get me started, it's all about Amazon related BS. #booksky #romancelandia #writing

Not even the veneer of not being lawless fucks and liars.

I am sweating out a deadline but dropping by to say I'm still around :D Just gotta do a bit more on Stone Shadows & one more in-person event for May and then JUNE IS ALL RELAXATION (I'm lying, I suck at relaxing). It's almost here! malloryglass.com/books/stone-... #booksky #writing

Last day for this promo (well thru the 20th). Stone Shadows (book 2) will be out at the end of the month, so it's a good time to grab book 1 on sale! :)

I am fortunate to have many great indie bookstores here in the Twin Cities, so I have no problem telling B&N to fuck all the way off.

Commentary: In my 20+ years as a pediatrician, I have promised countless parents that I will always put their children’s health and safety first. I cannot keep that promise if corporations are allowed to prioritize profits over patient care. minnesotareformer.com/2026/05/19/m...

PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...

Happy Monday. This is your reminder that generative AI is being pushed into everything by fascist billionaires who are trying to make you stupid and obsolete by stealing from you and then forcing you to use the fruits of their theft in order to make a living in what's left of your industry.

Off to table at Honey & Jalapeño book fair 12-6pm Big Wood Brewing in Vadnais Heights #minnesota #booksky

Will be in the vendors room doing that Sloth & Envy thing !

Ayyyyyyyyy look! Congrats to Ashley Fairbanks! 🥹 Out there making your ancestors proud. ❤️ @ziibiing.com www.instagram.com/mprnews/p/DY...

You know, book 2 is shaping up really well. (doing some revisions tonight). I had to reread book 1 for consistency reasons and it was better than I had let myself believe over the past few months. I'm still working on improving my craft, but I have 3 books out now that I'm proud of writing. 📚💙

By all means, let’s continue pouring money we don’t have into a war we don’t want so this corrupt govt can avoid accountability of their Epstein involvement & they can keep telling us we can’t have healthcare, benefits, education etc. Grifters & liars abound & prosper at our expense

Major update: Republicans on Capitol Hill concerned about political fallout as Trump says he does not think about American’s financial situation. Epstein survivors deliver heartbreaking testimony. Kash Patel lashes out at Congress. And more. Subscribe to support my work:

what a great night to block every reply guy who wants to whinge about "the future" get back to me when you have a publishing deal and a pile of awards for your A.I. bullshit (Also: eatf.art/ai )

Good news, Canadians! Stone Heart is part of the Kobo's May Super Sale that starts May 7th-20th! www.kobo.com/us/en/p/may-... www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... (sale price starts May 7)

My aunt (now 88) defied her parents & Small town misogynistic attitudes to go to college. She managed to finish a 4 year degree & have a career before getting married. Even after having 2 kids, she completed her masters. She raised 7 kids (1 adopted, 6 natural) + 1 stepdaughter. She is awesome.

Best magic shops of any kind in TV/movies? (no Harry Potter please).

States that have eliminated black Congressional districts and the amount of revenue the states get from travel to the state: Florida - $143.2B Texas - $92.7B Tennessee - $31.7B Louisiana - $16.2B Alabama - $12.6B Arkansas - $10.3B

tip for book cover artists: KDP/Amazon is often wildly inconsistent with printing. Avoid putting anything too close to the book's edges. They will find a way to cut them off. It's even worse on the spine, because when things are stacked/shelved together, you can see the quality issues.

Had to detach quote. Someone took a comment I made "Honestly forgot this was even a thing" about a MOVIE & reposted it with medical fundraising request for a ill child in Gaza. I fully support the cause, but please don't use a quote like I'm a massively insensitive asshole who forgets dying kids.

I cannot remember to hashtag to save my life. ROFL. #romancelandia #booksky

It has been a weird and rough 24 hours. Here's a couple of books for sale. Because why not? Everyone needs books in their lives. (TdA will be available outside Amazon VERY soon, just finishing up the details and getting it distributed) malloryglass.com/books List of "where to buy"

Material support beyond buying/borrowing books would be calling your reps to demand they are vocally against the federal book banning bills btw. They need to vote no on HR 7661 and HR 2616 reps.fyi

What a week and it’s only Tuesday night. JFC.

My nearly 90 years old aunt had a stroke & is in the hospital. Nurses do a frequent 'orientation check'. Today they asked her who the president of the US was. (they ask the date, year, and president). She replied, "I can't remember his name right now, but I do remember that I don't like him at all."

Ingram has really pissed me off. 4/12 label created for 2 packages, 18 books & 2 books. After delay, box of 2 reaches me. Box of 18 has zero tracking info. Ingram says we chose Basic Shipping, so they aren't responsible for lost/damaged items. Out $126+ dollars. Filed missing mail with USPS.

Shame on this administration and all the bootlicking lackeys in it.

it's aanhpi month please buy my books ty

I keep waking up at like 4am or 5:30am and then just being ... awake. And I hate it :) Tonight I might go to bed early because I haven't slept well in 3 nights and I've done a shitload of stuff since Thursday. I'm kinda worn O U T

Saw something kind of wild today. Driving home on I-35N in farm country. See big banner on farm with *that* face, start to roll my eyes. Banner says “I voted for Tr*mp” Next to his face… …followed by “I made a mistake. I’m sorry.” Mixed feelings. 1. Haven’t seen someone do this so publicly.

What an amazing self-own

Okay, so I know this will not stop the spammers, but: The fake "book club" emails have gotten so bad that I've deleted a few legitimate invitations that were "punched up" with chat GPT. So I have two requests: 1. Don't do that. If you're asking me to do something, respect me enough not to use AI.

I'm not shopping for May Day, but will also note that it's Bandcamp Friday (when the platform doesn't take a cut), and our "Spring Is Coming" EP sends 100% of any money coming in to Neighbors Helping Neighbors' TC ICE Relief Fund: secretrivers.bandcamp.com Here's us at Indigenous Roots last month:

Behind closed doors his administration has been consistently pushing back against council funding rental assistance, immigrant legal assistance, and small business assistance. The Minneapolis City Council will continue to push for solutions our community desperately needs. 2/

You can't just give up on EVERYONE in red states. I lived in one. In the 70s, it was purple. Then came Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, Fox, & gerrymandering. There are people in those states who aren't GOP. They've been cheated out of their voting power. Don't sell them out being petty.

Had a pretty amazing act of kindness today from an overseas fan of my work. Blown away by some people's generosity 🤗

Today is day 147 of the ICE occupation of MN. If you’re outside of MN, please share widely - our local communities are tapped out, but the need for rent is still enormous as our neighbors recover. StandWithMinnesota.com
