This is so true. 99% of book bans have the intended effect: you never hear about those books again. The 1% of banned books that become infamous bestsellers elsewhere are not the norm.

I’ll have to check this out
Can confirm. I read @wiswell.bsky.social's Wearing the Lion last night on a pair of trains and wept. It's quite good--in the best way, reminded me of @mcnamaraluna.bsky.social's Psyche and Eros.
The highly anticipated novel, Wearing the Lion by @wiswell.bsky.social is out today! Run to your favorite bookstore to get yourself a copy of your next favorite read that will have you roaring for more! 🦁🦁🦁

I have something good coming for you….
@kurellian.bsky.social I don’t know how in demand this is, but I would love to read more Greek Myth (or other myths too for that matter) retellings with queer characters.

Happy two year anniversary to Psyche & Eros! When I first dreamed up this story during the height of the pandemic, I never could have imagined she’d make her way into the hands of readers all around the world. Thank you to everyone who has made my book such a success

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

I sure could use that money
Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.
