So yesterday I finished Book 1 Of The Wizard, the Witch and The Wild One on #WorldsBeyondNumber and I am still stunned and breathless with the sheer exhilaration and beauty of this story. Everyone, from the peerless @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social (my GOD that man can tell a story! Holy shit!) 🧵

I’ll never say no to a piece of cake. Unless it has coconut in or on it, in which case I will burn it and laugh.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.
My dad truly believed that people just didn't have autism when he was growing up and I had to be the one to break it to him that autistic people who didn't fit in WERE PUT INTO INSTITUTIONS

Let's make it the anti-fascist version of the "Tom Holland Lip lip syncing to Umbrella in a corset" video: everyone must reshare every time, and no one gets annoyed.
