No one could have predicted

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

Oh hi, I went to the YoungArts Gala at The Met last night ✨ I met so many brilliant alumni and had a fantastic time! Thank you to the donor who sponsored my seat.

Re: Tariffs Some of you all are thinking about the authors whose books you love but voted against their and your interest, who might have to go back to the work force, or not produce the books you love b/c they aren’t as financially feasible because of this new version of a country we live in.

Again.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Heck yeah it’s Autism Acceptance Month, can you believe we have so many wonderful, authentic books these days? (And this is a very non-exhaustive roundup.) These books are so important for autistic readers AND for others so we can make a more accommodating world. Thanks for reading and sharing!

Israel killed 15 aid workers in Gaza, shot some in the head and chest, bound their hands, and buried them under sand in Rafah. This was a massacre. 📌 Read the full story:

y'all need to read this!!!! an amazing toolkit for creatives.

Hey, fellow kidlit authors? We should be paying close attention to this + calling our reps. NASA's pulled graphic novels about female astronauts from their website.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

cory booker is still going, y’all. i did not expect him to maintain this filibuster overnight - wow! glad to see a few dem senators helping him out with questions from the floor. www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

summary of my draft so far

I just added more things to this list today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Okay, all. I have a call to action for all CA residents. If you're not a CA resident, please help share and boost? 1. Most of you know what happened to me last month. If not, my @calmatters.org op-ed was posted this morning. I'm working on changing the penal code.

The program aims to empower women and girls around the world through fashion.

Genuinely the most beautiful compliment I could ever get on my writing is ~70% of readers on Storygraph saying my characters are at least a little hateable

thesis of most books i've written

at this point i think writing is a form of self-hatred.

this is actually the energy i want from straight romances of every genre!!! she should be a merciless highwayman with a tortured past and he should be sliding his glasses bashfully up his nose as he tends her wounds

for all your brazen criminal/nerdy love interest needs bookshop.org/p/books/my-k...

I think I'd read a lot more dark romance if the women were the violent psychopaths and their boyfriends were helpless little dweebs tethering them to their humanity

also if you ever want to pirate my book bc you're broke just email me for a copy lmao

I'm not even mad about my book being pirated I'm mad about Meta using it to train AI (Context: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...)

Happy Carnevale from Gia and Milo, who meet for the first time (once she’s not a sacred statue he’s tended for years in a definitely normal way because he’s certainly not in love with her no matter what his friend Val told you) at the festival, which in APFV is like Lent but with (more) murder.
