I used to be a big proponent of watching to figure out what he was saying/triage appropriately, but after 2025? No - protect your peace, so you ARE able to fight back. If you want alternative programming?

Interesting framing. They didn’t shelve shit. They got trounced at the Grand Jury and have no viable path forward. This is like saying that I’ve decided to stop having long hair when, in reality, I went bald.

No better feeling than turning in one book and lining up the dominoes for the next 👀

HOLY COW The Humble Bundle has been extended for another week because they were so pleased with our success so far. Please tell your friends. There's one more chance to help this essential organization. <3 (don't forget to select "adjust donation")

I have no idea what's going on here (the book has been out for over a year and it's not on sale as far as I know) but it is very cool that this book is still finding readers. I really loved working on this one--Firefly was my first sci fi love, so contributing to this world was peak. Thank you 🤎

Y'ALL. I am ~40% through The Traitor & the Wretch and I am obsessed. I am so weak for the MCs, especially Knell. It makes my heart swell and my chest constrict and it makes me want to write a relationship this tense and tender so bad. Go. Go buy it now. Good cause and good lord what a book

I just saw a man dressed like Caleb Widogast sneak a $20 bill into the tip jar at my favorite tea shop 👌

I almost forgot to share this for #aromanticawarenessweek but I have a list of over 50 aro/ace spectrum books that I have read/recommend over on bookshop! I’m always adding to it, so go forth and peruse to discover some new aro/ace spec faves! bookshop.org/lists/aro-ac...

Love seeing this awesome roundtable with Being Aro contributors for #aromanticawarenessweek! @rukman.bsky.social @kalynjosephson.bsky.social @annzhao.bsky.social @kashinggiwa.bsky.social bookstr.com/article/five...

Not to brag but I turned in my book a week and a half early. Did anyone ask me to do this? no. Did I ignore my physical and mental health to do this? yes. Is my body exacting its revenge as we speak? it sure is! 🥰😎🫠

So happy to see Being Aro on this list for #AromanticAwarenessWeek! 💚 bookriot.com/new-aromanti...

Oh hello, a little professional update from me: I am now repped by @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social at Neighborhood Literary and here is a real life true behind the scenes look at how it all happened:

This is absolutely heroic tbh, incredible work, succinct & precise

phew big day for me professionally on like multiple fronts 🎉

Today I had the unique experience of getting a call from my agent while my dad was with me and at the end of the call he whispered "Okay, now say thank you" at me 😂

*Looks up blearily from my laptop after doing 200 pages of edits in one sitting* what year is it?

To start #AroWeek with a bang, we have a bundle with 23 works filled with aromantic characters for you!! Mine is A Study on Magic and Crystals and it features a necromancer (aroace), a fairy (alloaro) and a princess (demiace) going on a roadtrip! 💙📚📢📚📦📚 itch.io/b/3517/aroma...

Oh hey happy #AroWeek! Here is a lil book stack of all my aromantic work. So proud to be part of this community and to make art about people like me. Here's to more on the horizon 💚

I am experiencing a strange phenomenon for me, which is that I am finding audiobooks difficult to read and am drawn much more to the act of physically reading so far this year. The past few years, I've been reading 90% audiobooks, but this year I'm at almost 50/50 split. 🤷

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive. Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list. Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

this was turned on across all my google accounts along with another AI (?) program called opal down at the very bottom of the list. Good fucking riddance.

In absolutely iconic timing, I received Common Bonds 2's final proof on Valentine's Day. What a gorgeous book we have put together. 🧡💚

I’d leave everything immediately. Except tumblr. I gotta be a little freak somewhere.

This is so spot on

Made the mistake of going to a coffee shop to write this morning without realizing what day it is... rip

Tend to the part of the garden you can reach. Tend to the part of the garden *you* can reach. I needed that reminder, and maybe you do, too.

I don’t usually campaign for awards, but this year I’ve decided to go for broke for a Fan Writer Hugo Award. Yay me! 1/

People really need to understand that the primary process is where you cement power. When standard Republicans started to get primaried for Tea Party fuckos, things went downhill fast.

I'll support nearly anyone over Newsom in the primary (he's better than Rahm Emanuel lol), less because he's awful (he is) and more because material conditions will probably propel ANY Dem to a '28 win. That's an opportunity to pick someone who will aggressively push for change. Which is not Newsom.

GOOD

Onto finding books to nominate. There are lots of Best of YA lists out there, but I’m the only one who does one just for YA SFF/H trad pub: reactormag.com/notable-youn... 4/

So please, I beg of you, respect YA authors, YA books, and teen readers by ONLY nominating for the Lodestar books that are marketed and published as Young Adult. Don’t let your ego or your personal feelings get in the way of teens, i.e. the audience these books are actually meant for. 13/

Since the Hugo Award nominations are now open, we need to talk about the #Lodestar. I'm going to give you some tips on how to nominate appropriately - in other words, to nominate Young Adult, not Middle Grade or adult crossovers. bsky.app/profile/lawo... 1/ #HugoAwards #HugoAward

Allos, ilu, but I need you to chill for a bit. Aces, this is our time to shine. reactormag.com/backlist-bon...

Henry Cuellar should never hold elected office again. Anyway in the meantime, make your Senators scared of you. Honestly even Republicans can be moved if they get enough calls. So make sure to do so. Especially make Democrats terrified of their voters if they don't vote no with a bullet on this one

I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

Giving this a little bump. Free paperback of a queer YA dystopian romance! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

My dad (noted sports ignorer) tried to mansplain hockey to me this morning and I had to break the news to him that my life for the past two months has been completely consumed by hockey adjacent media and I actually know more than he does

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

a friend of mine told me that seeing all the AI commercials during the game last night made her feel the urge to go create something herself out of defiance. i hope that's a widespread result...
