Oh, hi, here’s a funny story about how yesterday morning on stream, I spent, like, fifteen minutes trying to remember a particular Annie Dillard quote, and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t put together the exact words. If only I’d just… swiveled my chair slightly to the left. 😅😭🙃💀

Photo of a corner desk in a room with a computer monitor, game setups, and lots of books on either side. A chair site in front of the desk. Closeup of the stack of books just to the left of the chair, which includes several books by Annie Dillard.

Hey, friends! I recently contributed backing vocals and audio mixing to this cosplay music video for the Reverse: 1999 fandom! What’s especially cool, is the collaboration continues on! Check out the video for links to downloadable audio files & lyrics sheets to join in the lip-sync fun yourself! 🎉

What you need to understand is when workers want financial security, that’s entitlement. When bosses want financial security, that’s a god given right. If you think there’s hypocrisy there, then buddy, you just don’t get business, and its inevitable natural laws.

Libraries are great for authors! Libraries pay more for our books, high circulation wears them out so they have to buy them again—AND they’re more likely to buy our next book. Plus, publishers consider library sales when weighing our future contracts. Please check our books out from the library! 📚💜

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I think I have successfully shrunk a t-shirt just about the right amount I wanted to, and as a person who struggles to succeed at most domestic tasks, I feel unreasonably proud. 🎉🎂🍾

One irony of being a YA author is most interactions we have about our books end up being with adults. I wasn't prepared for how inspiring & HEALING it would feel to talk about I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD with the teens I actually wrote it for. 💜 Thalia Kids Book Club Camp, it was my honor to meet you.

Author M.J. Beasi, a nonbinary person with pink, purple, and blue hair, wearing a t-shirt that says, "Read Trans Books," standing on a stage amidst a group of 12-14-year-olds holding copies of the book, I WAS A TEENAGE DEATH GOD.

In 2019, I wrote a book about what growing up nonbinary before I knew what "nonbinary" was felt like to me. On the surface, it was a fast-paced, snarky supernatural adventure, but the real story was about feeling like you’re an aberration that shouldn’t exist & learning to care for yourself anyway.🧵

This is an element that most people who weren't the direct target of this coverage don't understand is that we've now had a decade of the largest paper of record in the US "just asking questions" about the validity of a class of a people. How can that lead to anything other than discrimination?

A thing about JD Vance Is that extremism researchers can tell he hangs out in Nazi forums because he repeats popular Nazi talking points from those forums pretty much verbatim. Like Jesus he doesn't even dress it up or change it around to sound original he's just a channer

Snitty@clofsnitville.bsky.social · 3mo ago

And that's Vance in a nutshell: even his racism and misogyny are utterly unoriginal. He's a person who wholly lacks curiosity about the world he lives in. He's clearly made no effort to gain a better understanding of public policy during his time in the Senate and as VPOTUS.

So, I'm about to rebrand my Twitch channel with my actual name (happening Monday 6/15!) and in preparation, I've been retooling my discord server to both let folks choose more carefully what they want to see there & also give it more of an author/IRL vibe.
