Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

The game is much much shorter during an evil run lmao but my fur children will always be at my side

Even during all my evil runs, I’ve been kind to Scratch and my Owlbear cub

A good night to everyone but that annoying girl who desperately wanted to be part of We Hate Movies’s Total Recall show at The Bell House tonight. Truly would not shut the fuck up and would be whooping or saying shit during the whole show.

Got to the Jonathan Karp cameo episodes of Gossip Girl when Dan gets his book anonymously submitted by Vanessa to S&S and just published 💀

a mountainous thing, with long wing-like sheets of flesh drifting up and out of frame. its bulk is rotten, wrinkled, decomposing. its head appears to be a ball of feelers, but its so large its mostly off page. amongst strange pillars, a man is silhouetted in the foreground. he is very small.

"A mountain walked or stumbled."

Wanted to finally do an interpretation of Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu!

Green Card Interviews End in Handcuffs for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Beatrice sits in the woods holding the book, I'll Make a Spectacle of You. Against a red background with trees, "Set in Jonesborough, Tennessee, I'll Make a Spectacle of You is a queer, nonlinear Southern Gothic horror".

I'LL MAKE A SPECTACLE OF YOU is a published novel!

My Gothic horror novel is a tribute to Black Appalachia, HBCUs, and Hoodoo, featuring a lesbian main character whose name and life mission are profoundly inspired by icon Zora Neale Hurston.

I go from my desk where I do my little books job to my couch where I play Tiny Bookshop on my Switch to do my little books job.

Nothing more stressful than being a December baby and rushing to get your birthday plans out to friends before everyone else sends out their holiday party invites

Strike Fund - Starbucks Workers United share.google/pmINaeARKhjK...

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Author aya wears a beige hijab and a blue thobe/dress holding her book Ramadan for everyone. Offers a free read aloud for local schools and virtual visits

Hard to believe Ramadan for Everyone, my tenth book, comes out in just two months! And Ramadan is in less than 100 days!

To celebrate its release, I’m offering 30 minutes of a free read aloud of Ramadan for Everyone + q&a to local classrooms/school libraries + virtual sessions if you’re not local!

No, I get you! That’s definitely a discussion I have with every client. While it’s not my typically my jam, I am signing up a client for their career (long term I always hope) and not just based off of one title. That’s why you can always submit a different ms to me and same for my agency mates.

It’s unfortunately very rare for me to enjoy a secondary world high fantasy book. I’m definitely more of a grounded fantasy girlie and it’s what I tend to read more of when I have time/energy to read for fun

But I definitely am looking for those other elements in fiction.

Thank you!

They really are! I honestly think it’s due to the fact that the gut just impacts so much throughout our bodies including our heads because I keep having rough headaches

Can’t wait to rewatch GDT’s FRANKENSTEIN tomorrow with subtitles on

I’m incredibly thankful that my gastro doctor has always taken me seriously and was able to find the source of my weird symptoms…but at the same time, the treatment for my stomach issue is rough as hell and I’m having ALL the side effects.

Of course

There can be a conflict of interest if someone claiming to be an agent is also offering editorial services to prospective clients. Likewise for any schmagency or vanity “pub” that asks you for money to pub your books. Money always flows to the author. We (typically but not always) work on commission

Writer Beware Shining a small, bright light in a wilderness of writing scams

Check to see where they’ve worked prior. Have they been in-house or at another agency? Where at? How long? Have they only been freelance? If so, red flag. Are the book deals to only a certain editor or publishers? That could be a red flag. writerbeware.blog is a great resource as well

…let alone after a couple of years of only doing freelance editing and no in-house work at all. There’s so many schmagents and schmagencies out there. Be careful y’all

Begging writers to do their due diligence and research anyone who’s just decided to randomly launch a lit agency and announce it on here. I’ve got over 8 years of experience as an editor but only have been agenting since April and I would NEVER consider launching an agency just like that,
