The secret is that other writers aren't competition; they're peers, colleagues and friends. Someone who reads me is going to read other writers as well; the entire publishing economy is "yes, and." Therefore it does me no harm, and much good, to support other writers and to wish them well.
And Heinlein would have approved! Terry Pratchett said, "Most SF writers were once fans. There's a habit they have, not of paying back, but of paying forward; I know of no other branch of literature where the established "names" so keenly encourage wannabe writers to become their future competitors

if you exist a little too much in the physical world to really kill it on social media (or you can’t buy your way in), the only strategy is to make things so beautiful that they slowly but surely break into the virtual world. it works

"December tenth. She left me December tenth's fifty-seven oboes—and the echo of her galloping stars to listen to at four o'clock in the morning before the world." Hélène Cixous on reading Clarice Lispector by chance for the first time on December 10th, the day after Lispector's death in 1977.

Social Media really lost Israel the info war.

a friend of mine who used to be "well the whole israel situation is so complicated i dont really know what to believe" was told to use the snapchat map mode on tel aviv and then on gaza and i have never once seen someone flip their worldview so quickly
