Bigolus Dickolas Wolfwood is obviously a spectacular hype man with an underrated skill with words, HOWEVER, I don't think the tweets could have done all this without several hundred of us going "ok but for real that book is feckin great."

(I'm not saying I don't want arcs, please give me arcs and I will work my behind the scenes magic of getting your book to the weird little pocket of the internet that I have access to which would appreciate it most.)

But I AM saying that there's a limited amount of buzz you can build when like 20 people on the planet have read a book. "You should read this. I really liked it. It comes out two months from now. HOPE YOU REMEMBER!"

This. It works so much better when the rec stops being a rec and becomes a conversation. When people you know for real, who maybe don't know the author, start to find things to discuss about a book. x.com/thelionmachine…

I feel like the internet of books tries not to look backward. But it should. Because one of the things we love the most, as nerds, is loving things TOGETHER.

That's definitely what I've thought was good about all this. (Other than that I wish good fortune on people I like). People quoting it, talking about their journey into writing, people showing all the pictures of red and blue things together that they've collected...

It's felt so WARM. It's been nice, too, to welcome today's lucky ten thousand... apparently all in one place. That's delightful. So I'm seeing people say "yell about the books you love." And I think it's important to add "yell back when someone else yells about a book you love"

The Stallings case should be national news. The DA & MPD had the bodycam footage from the beginning. They KNEW the officers were lying. They charged Jaleel ANYWAY & took him to trial. It took the public seeing the bodycam for this officer to be charged.

Trans adult patients are being dropped in Florida. SB254 bans care for youth, but clinics have reached out to report the massive effect on trans adults as well. It bans NPs from giving care. They give the majority of care. Subscribe to support my work. erininthemorning.com/p/trans-patien…

Again, I’ll be on Tumblr, should this dumpster file finally collapse. Or at my monthly newsletter shed letters on buttondown.

Tonight, the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency will officially end. With it, several expanded pandemic era social services will end too. Here is a thread of everything that will end tonight...

I follow some really lovely, hardworking, successful agents & editors on twitter. But also every single time I log on to this site I see somebody or other (usually not someone I'm actually following) reminding me why I don't want anything to do with trad fiction publishing.

For far too long, gay and bisexual men have been barred from giving blood by a discriminatory, medically unwarranted practice.   Thank you U.S. FDA for this important change which will save lives and advance our progress in the fight for dignity and equality.
