holy shit, I just learned that not only is my colleague @dianapho.bsky.social up for Best Editor for the Locus Awards, as are a strong handful of our wonderful titles and authors, but also @erewhonbooks.bsky.social itself is up for Best Publisher??? Y'ALL. I'm gonna cry, holy moley

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

Happy voting day, Canada. Please remain the sensible one in this North American duplex we share.

Ahhhh!!!! 🌟🌟🌟

Anyone who says that authors & artists are in it for the money has clearly never had to do writer taxes 🙃

The most frustrating thing about this whole manufacturing bullshit tariff debacle is that there ARE good jobs that we need to be funding here have here that can’t be outsourced. It’s called the Green New Deal.

A CURSE CARVED IN INK by Tzeyi Koay, coming 2027 with @simonschusteruk and @atriabooksaus @simonschusterau ✨️

I think about this when things happen like getting the ‘5 Bullet Points’ email from the sketchy [email protected] address that somehow goes to elno who bought his seat at the govt. Stunts like that push boundaries so they can see how much we’ll give up.

Pretty wild to go from, ‘maybe I’ll buy a house this year,’ to, ‘I hope I still have this job in April so I can go to my dentist appointment.’ And it’s only been 7 weeks! abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Been so busy lately getting to work on pages of new things that I love but wanted to be sure to say that publishing is rarely overnight success and a lot of working your ass off. Be proud of yourself no matter where you’re at. You’re doing the thing, boo, and are amazing 💛

ok who can rec me a book with this vibe

another life (2021)

Tbh it's wild to see Death Of The Author go from "is it wrong to interpret books/art in a way the writer didnt intend" to "this author has done objectively awful things but pretty please can I still consume their work"

If you ever feel behind just remember that Joe Biden didn't get his agent until he was 82, ur doing just fine 💕⭐️💕

TikTok is back but like, in the way your long lost son appears on your doorstep after a mysterious disappearance & he looks & sounds the same but he’s harboring a dark secret and ok lemme turn off Lifetime

Today and in the coming days, remember

I'm gonna need everyone to understand that, "I worked hard and I deserve this" and "This was mostly down to luck" are not mutually exclusive emotions when it comes to publishing success. Both can be true. Both are true.

There's something so emotionally devastating about all the character actor tiktokers coming on screen as themselves for the first time ever to give all these heartfelt goodbyes 😭😭 like bro

If you need me I'll be sitting in my car and screaming the bridge to Alley Rose by Conan Gray for the foreseeable future

I feel no need to protect any Democratic sexual predators. This seems like a good deal
