Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Exclusive | FDA’s Controversial Vaccines Chief Will Leave the Agency Dr. Vinay Prasad will depart in April, after a year leading the division that approves vaccines and biotech drugs.

Vinay Prasad got booted for the second time. He used unsupported data from VAERS as a basis for restricting use of the Covid mRNA vaccine, overriding real experts.

Kennedy's video showing off working out in denim doesn't hide the glaring chaos & instability that is HHS.

ARCs are generally bad library donations. They aren't made to stand up to repeat reads the way finished books are.

And that is fair.

Why pay money for ARCs, which are explicitly marked not for sale, when you could win one, AND get stickers? seananmcguire.com/blog/2026/03...

Important thread.

A little light reading for this evening. Many thanks to @seananmcguire.bsky.social. Absolutely no spoilers will be posted here.

Also anyone that got a copy at ECCC and immediately put it up on eBay should be ashamed of themselves.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

this part TOO

The president who took us to a war nobody wanted (and is covering for powerful pedophiles) is now holding our government hostage until Congress passes a law that makes it easier for him to maintain power

Imagine if this were happening in another country

Just wait until the book has been released. Then there's not the concern that someone who desperately wants to read it will buy and read a book instead, plot details are public, and you're not being a jerk. Sell it as a collectable, not an early-access experience.

international Womens day to the best undead mare!

To be very clear, selling an ARC you legitimately own is bad form and kinda shitty if you do it before the book is released, but it's never piracy. You have the legal right to do it at any time.

Yup!

Baen is selling them directly, and that's very different than buying a print ARC on the secondary market.

I never give anyone dirty looks for bringing me ARCs to sign. I have no idea where they came from.

No one should be selling ARCs, period. But someone selling the ARC after the book is out is likely to be asking for less money, and hence doing less potential harm.

Something I really appreciate about Bridgerton is that Cressida’s dresses always look like they’ve just paused midway through devouring her.

Selling ARCs hurts everyone involved in making the book happen--AND it's a dick move. Please don't be an asshole about us trying to give you fun, free, cool shit.

Don't buy or sell advance reader copies.

The doctrine of first sale means you can't be legally punished for selling an ARC, and if you just picked it up at a con, it's not like the publisher can track it back to you. But the author doesn't get paid. The resale is invisible in a way that ARCs for promo uses are not.

2. If you're able to acquire an ARC, remember that "not for resale" is on the cover for a reason, and please, please, do not sell it. Selling ARCs is what leads publishers to reduce and reduce their print runs: we're going to wind up all-virtual if people don't cut it out.

Two reminders:

1. If you are at Emerald City Comic-Con, we are doing a second round of OMENS OF CHAOS giveaways tomorrow at 2pm at the Penguin Random-House booth! This exclusive ARC giveaway will get you the book almost exactly one month early!

...but only a month. One month. No more.

Oh man, look what came in the mail! Can't wait to dive into @seananmcguire.bsky.social's latest

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

FFS, @seananmcguire.bsky.social's "Kingdom Of Needle And Bone" was supposed to stay fiction.

Stop implementing Torment Nexus, please!

People are missing the point in replying to this. Shes not a billionaire because she gives her money away to charity and help people ten times over.

But think about all the money she gives away TO help. She should have been one waaaaay before now

She is quite literally the billionaire that ISNT.

I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck
