I do!

That's so frustrating. On more than one occasion, my local bookstores (big and small) didn't have my book on publication day. It's been a problem for a long time.

I love "acoustic" for this. I've seen people refer to acoustic bikes (versus ebikes).

I hadn't thought about the Swifties (and "never not think about the Swifties" seems like it should be some kind of a rule).

Also, the article says "parasocial" has expanded into conversations about AI chatbots, so that makes sense as a driver too.

Wow, good thinking to look at Google Trends! I guess I've just been more aware of it since I am heavily on line (and was actually teaching social media theory and practice back in the mid-2010s).

"Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop" explores themes of companionship, loneliness, and queerness.

You can listen to the first episode free on Bandcamp and then get the whole "album." It's very poetic and vibe-y!

How wonderful!
