This kind of slimy, unprincipled cowardice is beyond pitiful. Don't offend the Nazis! You might lose a few sales!
My book isn't anywhere near ready to be published yet, but just so current followers and future fans are aware: Fuck Nazis and fuck those who act like Nazis.

This week, a few writers have told me they don't know how to promote their books in the face of the ever-horrifying news cycle. So just for the record: PLEASE promote your books. We need your books. Your histories, your fictions, your contributions to human knowledge. Without them, what's the point?

@bryndonovan.bsky.social sent back developmental edits for my debut and words cannot express how excited I am. Unfortunately, actually getting to read through the edits and notes will have to wait until after I am off the clock at work. Stupid day job getting in the way.

removal from app store + google play probably fatally wounds the entire global right wing movement and significantly hinders musk’s own ability to get involved with elections both here and abroad
Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

I am really, really fucking sick of non-Americans coming on the internet and smugly talking about "but why won't Americans do anything? Do they not know how much of a threat their president poses?" like we are fucking toddlers when ICE shot a legal observer in her car in the face today!

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

There is no world in which you should be publishing someone else's books if you are not willing to put the money you owe them aside and *never touch it, ever*
... talking to each other here on Bluesky about how the criticism was unjustified, because small presses are on tight margins, there is no untouchable pot of money, people just have to understand that small presses work differently.
So, *ask* your small press if they set aside author royalties. 👍

In other news, the whole thing about Calibri v. TNR isn't about a font face, it's about the fact that Calibri is easier for people with some disabilities to read.

American healthcare is a joke. Just fulfill the stupid prescription my doctor prescribed for me. I don't care if insurance said no - bypass it and I'll pay it out of pocket

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

92 years old. what a legacy to leave behind.
She began writing in her forties and went on to publish over 200 books. Don't ever let anyone tell you it's too late to chase your dreams.
Fern Michaels, a mother of five in suburban New Jersey who responded to her husband’s request to get a job by taking up writing, only to blossom into a best-selling author of more than 200 romances and thrillers, died last month at 92. nyti.ms/48GMPfN

My sister wants a heated vest for Christmas. I wanted to get her a really nice, expensive one. They're all out of budget. New author goal unlocked: make enough money from my books that I can spoil my family for the holidays without blinking an eye. 😭

Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.
A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social
