#booksky, what's a book that always gets you out of a reading slump?
I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️
The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved
I've recently decided, with the support of my editor, to take a step back from working on Book 2 for awhile. Lots of factors went into this, the main one being that my non-writing responsibilities have to come first at the moment. Luckily Book 2 isn't even up for pre-order yet.
Social media has been a toxic hellhole for women and people of color since Gamergate and likely before. That it takes the murder of a guy who actively made the space worse for everyone for law enforcement and politicians to start talking about it is … something.
There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

just remembering this episode of the golden girls, when dorothy found out her friend was a member of a club that discriminated against jewish people, and her friend tried to justify it by saying it wasn't "her" policy. thinking about that and looking at the cast list of that fucking audiobook.
i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
Every time someone refers to the Epstein list as a “hoax”, the survivors are being re-traumatized. Coming forward after a sexual assault is terrifying. You’re often gaslit, blamed or disbelieved. It takes incredible courage and these women deserve better than to be made into a conspiracy theory
financing a musical based on my own book. i want the most elaborate puppets you've ever seen for the dragons and i want a beloved broadway veteran to play the mc's mom.
Call Me The Brie-ze@briesmith.xyz · last yr.Since none of us is actually going to win the Powerball, what’s the most ridiculous thing you’d do with the money if you won? Forget paying off student loans or buying a house, what’s your ridiculous purchase?

so jennette mccurdy is getting hate for depicting a toxic relationship in her debut novel....because apparently now if you want to explore traumatic or dark topics in fiction you need to have a title like "BAD PEOPLE DOING BAD THINGS THAT NO ONE SHOULD DO BECAUSE IT'S BAD".
the difference between a 4 or 4.5 star read and a 5 star read is quite literally just ✨ je ne sais quoi ✨ which is fine for my reader self but my writer self is CONSTANTLY obsessing over it when i'm drafting
