Just doing a little math on the difference in royalties I receive on adult books vs kids books and hardcover vs paperback:
50,000 copies of an adult novel in HC
=
1,500,000 copies of a children's illustrated chapter book in PB
Blows my mind. 50k vs 1.5M
When someone says “I really like this” movie / TV show / book / video games etc, I’m intrigued by the impulse some folks have to waddle into their replies and say “oh, but EYE didn’t like it.”
What is that impulse? What’s its intention / social function?
"Compared to the U.S., Japan publishes nearly 40% more books per capita. Japan also has more publishing companies than the U.S. despite having well under half the U.S.’s population."
I've always said Japanese nonfiction is underrated and undertranslated (it's popular in Korea) and here's proof!

YOU BETTA REEEEEEEAAAAAD.
So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
Welcome back to Austenland! Literally so excited to finally announce this that my tummy is squelching. I published Austenland in 2007 and Midnight in Austenland in 2011. The movie premiered in 2013, and after that I had outlines and intentions to pen a third, but so much life got in the way. 1/
Suga describes BTS’ new album, ‘ARIRANG,’ in interview with GQ:
“We have a diversity of genres. What I can tell you is that it’s going to be quite different from the BTS albums and sounds that you’ve been listening to. You’re going to see a more mature side of BTS this time around.”
Welcome back to Austenland!

I'm in Australia right now, it's late at night, and I'm inside a university library that runs 24-hours a day.
This could be us. This could be all of us.
It also points out how the cultural ignorance of much of our pundit & MSM class fails. 135 million Americans watched an important & controversial cultural event & many journalists are 1)ill-equipped to explain its significance or 2) too arrogant to know that would need assistance in unpacking it.
Happy bad bunny day! 🥰
FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs:
“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”
Is Lupita Nyong'o one of the most beautiful people on the planet? Yes.
Is she a good choice for Helen of Troy? Also yes.
I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.
Everything about this schoolgirl would be suspect today, and yet she was warmly welcomed to America as a refugee forty-five years ago. This little girl is me.
BLOCK them.

Namjoon and Jungkook on Instagram Stories:
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.
Once again I am sorry that I logged on to social media
