Also, publishing comes in cycles. I think people feel threatened when something is BIG bc it might make it harder for them. But eventually YOUR thing is going to be the BIG thing people are shitting on. Probably won't feel so good then.

We all gotta be a little more empathic with each other, is all

I desperately wish B&N had not put a hard stop on New Adult as a category. Clearly it is a desired categroy for books. Readers want them! But you can't keep screwing over Actual Teen Readers by ignoring 13-16 year olds in favor of publishing for 19-22 year olds. STOP IT.

There's a YA book coming out in a month with a 21 year old love interest. AUTHORS & PUBLISHERS: YOU CANNOT KEEP DOING THIS. Are you aware these headhunters are looking for any opportunity, any excuse to ban books? YOU CANNOT HAVE A LOVE INTEREST IN THEIR 20s IN A BOOK FOR TEENS.

A gif from The Waterboy: a white woman holds a sign in a window that says "want me to kill them?"

Yeah, I'd say you have a right to feel alllllll the feelings about that. I am so sorry!

OHHHHHHH okay. I eas worried it meant you could not now register for the copyright. Still stinky about the suit, but at least there's no copyright funny business (aside from an egregious error to begin with).

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Labeling things in this way is ridiculous. I just addressed this in a presentation with librarians. GNs are not desserts. This isn’t the way to encourage lifelong readers.

I just see the pitches/concepts, and I think, "that's so cool!" and go to press "like" before I WRENCH my finger away. Every. Single. Time. I just wanna like the interesting premises!! 😭

One thing I have not missed on Twitter that is abundant on Bluesky is pitch contests. I live in fear that I'm going to inadvertently fuck up someone's day just by liking their cool post.

I had 2 ipods, and they lived just long enough for their warrenties to die (after only a year). When I went to the apple store for help, they were like "yeah, we won't help, you should just buy a new one", and it put me off forever.

I AM intrigued by this story. I always love a good hockey book, even silly ones.

It's just an odd detail to be like "my character is THIS kind of player.... but I won't allow him to wear his gear on my cover". Like just make him a skater instead of a goalie! 😂

I need you to know that Hockey Twitter is super annoyed by this cover because he's a goalie, but he is illustrated in normal gear because the author "doesn't like how goalie pads look".

Area denial frame gls are also a delightful new weapon type. I'd use the seasonal armor if it were possible to focus it because the only useful rolls I've gotten are the set from the season pass this week. I reset Eido in a couple hours when I popped it on.

Hi, there have been multiple studies about audiobooks. Listening to an audiobook utilizes the same part of your brain as reading with your eyes. Your brain literally processes these actions the same way. Audiobooks are books & listening to them is reading. Have a great day.
