"WE'VE ARRESTED TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE BY MISTAKE"

Who doesn’t love an art raffle? 😄

Look, I don't know why Death's selection list has been fucked since Prince, but we're going to need an elite heist team of religious scholars, metaphysicists, occultists and a cat burglar and we're going to go fix this shit.

Be smart. Be wary. Be careful. More so than you already think you're being. And not just authors, but everyone. If the author scams are evolving to be this sophisticated this fast, it won't stop there. We're all at risk.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

if I could get everyone to do one (1) book related thing right now, it would be to preorder Prince of Storms from Tropes & Trifles in Minneapolis. 1) I mean preorders make me look fancy 2) they are an amazing bookstore dedicated to hope & happy endings in a city going through it.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This *has* to exist. Anybody?

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

Assume at this point that any unsolicited marketing/representation pitch is a scam.

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had. I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

Please make it your new resolution to visit AskHistorians once a week, because we've never been this invested in overtaking another community.

HEY I AM DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR MINNESOTA RENT FUNDS AND GIVING AWAY A SIGNED ARC (advance review copy) OF OBSTETRIX THAT'S RIGHT YOU CAN HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES AND MAYBE GET A FREE EARLY SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK

NOT MOIRA 😭 RIP to a queen.

Hey, pals, this study is headed by Lisa Littman, noted transphobe and pseudoscientist. She's on the advisory board for the genocidal anti-trans group GENSPECT. Do not, under any circumstance, participate in this junk study.

Are you angry yet? Because you really should be.

It breaks my heart to hear this. This is an open offer to any author reading this if we can help to promote your book let me know. Everything we do is free of charge.

My third complete fantasy series, you guys 😁 Check out the Talon duology if you like: ✨ wild magic 🔪 soft assassins ❤️ enemies to reluctant friends to lovers 👑 unmanageable princesses 🦅 gay griffin dads 🏰 alternate ancient Britain 🌳 some really quite weird stuff involving the Green Man

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

I am informed there is a Book Marketing "Expert" claiming they have helped me sell my books. This is a lie. If any of these "experts" claim me as a client, do not believe a word they say and run away from them before they steal your money.

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too! *Your* right to anonymous web browsing is at risk! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754408

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Ok, ammending my request! Need some recommendations for artists that sell bujo (bullet journal) paraphernalia (sticker sheets, washi tape, etc) within the EU/UK OR that offer digital print sticker sheets?

Hey folks, I have a big ask. The awards team for the national award GNoH has been nominated for is seeking testimonials to support my consideration for a win. If we have worked together on a review, feature, news item, interview etc , could you please send over a testimonial?

You, too, can buy printer filament for the folks who are 3D printing whistles in bulk and mailing them (for free) out to organizations and people requesting them to use in the face of ongoing and incoming ICE assaults. Link below.
