authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

A screen grab from Google Play with the cover of Remember You Will Die by Eden Robins as "Our most outstanding sci-fi read of 2025" with the text review: "This book is a stunning achievement in fiction unlike any novel you've ever read before (seriously). This story is told through a series of obituaries that, when connected, create a masterpiece that covers themes of A.I., environmentalism, queer identity, and grief. If the unique form of storytelling isn't enough to hook you, the eccentric cast of characters will definitely do the trick."

Well! This was a nice surprise!! Remember You Will Die is Google Play's favorite sci-fi read of 2025! play.google.com/store/books/...

this is so real

Please put the Working Families Party in your mouth. They did wonders with Mamdani’s campaign. We saw how quickly his rise to collective awareness was in less than six months.

We can do that too, people. Everywhere. We hold the power. Screw Establishment Dems. Their time is over. It’s our turn now.

Hi Gabino! Thanks as always. Popping in again with my novel-in-obituaries REMEMBER YOU WILL DIE because it's spooky season and who doesn't want to think about death, the future of humanity, and the ways we try to care for each other through art and rebellion?? bookshop.org/p/books/reme...

Damn, I don't live near alleys anymore. Maybe at the dump?

Fascism is such a fundamental attack on wonder and the human imagination and I think everyone should have the opportunity to let their imagination wonder as it wanders — doesn’t matter what you do for a living. Your mind matters! Your relationship with the universe is meaningful!

Did you know that if you buy my book on Amazon, Jeff Bezos makes 5 times as much as I do on each copy sold? Sharing some behind-the-scenes book math on why buying directly from presses is best for EVERYONE (except Bezos) in my newsletter today! aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/book-math

Holy cow! An honor 🖤💀🖤

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

I LOVE this analogy, spot on

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

Thank you!!

I don't know who this "Birdie Horne" is but she sounds very talented and attractive and like she knows a lot about being a crossing guard

Aw thanks Veronica!!

This murder mystery is silly and fun and a bit sexy, and it is a Chicago book through and through. Things are scary as hell in Chicago right now, so we hope this book is a reminder of how truly great and quirky and tough our home city is!!
