✨ ✨✨ You need that community for far more than just feedback on drafts. There is a lot of stuff to navigate if you're querying or want to and wider community helps problem solve and provide perspective. It's also how you find opportunities.

This link is to a blog that has books written by autistic authors that have autistic characters or about autistic experience. It's well sorted so you can jump to #PB or #YA or nonfiction or Nonspeaking or BIPOC authors. It also has my favorite review of How Are You, Verity? 🦑

Please join me in supporting Luanne Janes, Director of the Rutherford County (TN) Library, wrongly terminated for refusing to relocate children’s books to the adult section. Luanne is upholding the professional ethics of librarianship and the founding principles of democracy. Stand with Luanne!

We're in a hardcore loop of this song. I'm managing though this is not my autistic loop. We'll see if I can make it to school drop off without saying I need a break. It is sung in a round. That's nice.

Also, f no because while CEOs are loving this bc layoffs, wages driven down, and getting more work out of fewer workers -- the gall of high ed to embrace the very thing that will weaken the job market and prospects for the graduates now saddled with debt.

Right -- I forgot that doctors literally endorsed cigarettes in the beginning (I wasn't alive to read the magazines.) But I'm not giving educators an inch on this. If you think about what learning is and what it requires, use of genAI doesn't stand up. Cancer is link that takes years to get to.

Come on, guys, everyone else is doing it! /s

Libraries, like post offices, like schools, like the fire department, are not businesses and should not be run like one. Also businesses should not be run as they are.

Every. Goddamn. Company.

Trashing everywhere they go

I don't pick up my phone if I don't recognize who is calling. I just read the message afterward. But now, I'm in some new level author spam hell because I have book promotion spam coming at me through calls/messages and texts. It's wild. 📚

Here's the link to the free pdf of my new book The Inattention Economy: How Women of Color Built the Internet. Access is so important and I'm grateful that the press is platforming it as one file that is easy to download. www.upress.umn.edu/978081669906...

Stop giving rich people loop holes to not pay their fair share. They get even wealthier and warp the rules to get away with everything they want. Like Trump and his friend stealing money for their own aims and enrichment and cutting public funding for everything else.

The largest and most beautiful #veliger I’ve ever seen! Shot last week off Bali, far offshore, on scuba, at night, out over the deep abyss.

Today's embarrassing internal marketing to faculty. People, there is no magic tech that will make teaching 4x more student possible without being half-assed in your teaching and totally worn down. Students, you can't do everything. You have 24 hours as day, and you need sleep. Humans have limits.

✨✨✨ and instead invest in "AI-Enabled Course Success Companions" because people cost too much

Went to do a loan for some work on my home, and no, I'm not giving a third party app my biometric data. Not using that non-profit because why do you need to work with an app that banks biometric data?

My publishing edition contribution is that everyone in publishing knows that best sellers lists are curated. Publishers choose their leading titles, and put their promotion money behind them. If you’re not a lead title… I’m sorry. Just another publishing is not fair in any way thing. 🫠✨

The "ban all private cars" must live in high pop density area or an imaginary. I want better public transportation infrastructure too, and yet every single social service provider in rural and remote areas will say their #1 barrier for patients and clients is transportation. Everyone is spread out.

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide: Terry Pratchett Diana Wynne-Jones Garth Nix Suzanne Collins Susan Cooper Phillip Pullman Rick Riordan Pierce Brown Sheri S. Tepper V. E. Schwab Rachel Hartman Alex Pheby Alan Garner Ursula Le Guin And more!

We all know this is fascism.
