Charlie Kirk did not practice politics the right way. He made a career of engaging in the worst degree of bad faith and putting the lives of vulnerable people at greater risk with his shameless propaganda.
His murder is entirely reprehensible, but that doesn't condone his unbridled hatred.

Ezra, he died while defending his false claim that trans people are more likely to commit mass shootings. He called Leviticus 20:13--a verse saying gay men should be stoned to death--"God's perfect law."
I agree political violence is unacceptable, but what you're saying here is just not true.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

So it seems this was the reason for the Rwanda fixation. More dodgy contracts. How much has it cost the British public so far? I’ve lost count. Horrific.

Because the almighty algorithm rules us all, a positive review on a bookseller site like Amazon is also super super helpful, and free/easy. Doesn’t have to be long, you can just write “loved it” and throw in a star rating and you’re done
Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!
