NO DMs! Unless I know you. Creative, political, very deeply blue. Animal advocate.

Having to preface a pop culture reference to your coworkers with “You’re probably too young to remember this” is bad enough. Hearing myself say it and realizing I basically have one foot in the grave was worse.

If you’re down with that, great! Happy to have you! If you wanted something a little more cottagecore and little less Sir David Attenborough tours Dante’s Inferno, no shade, and I wish you well on Al Gore’s Internet.

You can expect random birds, leftist politics, unexpected treatises on niche topics, photos of That Interesting Bug I Just Saw, D&D and Magic the Gathering commentary, occasionally disturbing content and a fuckton of swearing.

I see Kobo has sharpened up its algorithm from recommending me bafflingly random books I wouldn't buy at gunpoint. Now it's moved to suggesting books I in fact already own through Kobo. I suppose that's an improvement?

Genuinely curious…if Chuck Schumer deserves credit for recruiting people to run for the Senate, why are most of the incoming class not supporting his bid for majority leader? If he’s so respected by his colleagues, why is Bernie a preemptive no? Why did he get a nod of approval from Trump?

“Hey we just got blown out in a historic landslide because people hate our policies and are sick of extremism, what should we do to reset?” “Let’s promote the most universally hated member of our administration!”

Trump cultists suddenly acting like they weren’t Trump cultists isn’t going to fly. It’s never, ever going to work. We will out you with the receipts like you are former SS hiding out in Brazil in 1970.

I recently declined to blurb an ARC from the same imprint because it was so unedited. Not "spelling mistake" level, but "wrong word or terrible grammar renders sentence meaningless" level. this is not in any way okay from a publisher and we should push back.

I don't goddamn know what the answer is here, except FOR GOD'S SAKE HOLD THE LINE. We do not use GenAI and we do not use people who use GenAI. And if you think you see AI on a cover, tell the author and let them and the publisher actually look into it before going ham on either.
