This conversation about marketing and traditional publishing and authors is worth reading if you don’t know what the utterly ridiculous expectations that are put on authors:
But AUTHORS are being asked to market direct to consumers, without a single tool to judge what is effective, and without publishers really even having the historical infrastructure to support that. And authors are held fully responsible for if a book succeeds/fails, in spite of having no tools.

…you know, that could explain why I’m getting migraines far more often these days. Multiple times a month instead of every few months.
If you think your [whatever it is] is getting worse, keep in mind your cortisol levels have probably been elevated for a sustained period by now.
That's not great.

If you have to clarify that this isn’t the Hunger Games, you’re doing something wrong.
What is happening in this country? The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering a reality show where immigrants compete in challenges for a shot at U.S. citizenship. Officials claim, “This isn’t The Hunger Games for immigrants.”

Yosemite National Park the size of Rhode Island and has more locks than a small city, and without a locksmith I'm deeply concerned for the safety and security of the park and people in it. This is not right!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

The elimination of transgender people is not a distraction from "real issues", it is an OFFER in exchange for dismantling and looting the Federal government

Instead of introducing pointless "every sperm is sacred legislation," introduce a bill—a Pro-Birth Accountability Act—like Sen. Mia McLeod introduced in S. Carolina in 2019.
I call it a "F**k You, Pay Me" bill.
If states are going to force people to give birth, then states should pay for it.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
