Stars and planets, THIS. This FOREVER. And also the missing art of folks who were passed over and shut out because such men didn't want to fuck them in the first place and therefore just utterly ignored them

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

I looked it up and it turns out there were zero book related deaths in 2023 and so far none in 2024 so, I don’t know, books may not be the problem.

"You can't grind your way to a just society" goes on the t-shirt.

The reason we hear so much meritocracy propaganda is that it's the only socially acceptable origin story for the people it happend to work out for, could stay in the game longer thanks to generational wealth, or are just pretending to have "made it." You can't grind your way to a just society.

I get why this is the case, but it’s so wild that one million Americans died of COVID because of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, and it’s not even remotely an issue in this election. What a country!

This is true, this is true, this is so fucking true.

Go into any field office during a Democratic election. Look around at the volunteers. Look at what the census says about the percentage of non-white people in the area; look at the volunteers. Look how many Black women are there. Look how many Latinas.

If you missed me at Eagle Eye Bookstore in Atlanta, that wasn't your last chance! I will also be at @ReadItAgain in John's Creek this Saturday at 12 Noon! (We're chatting and doing a poster giveaway. It'll be fun!)

AI novel writing seems like the perfect fit for that guy who inevitably approaches writers at an event and says, "Listen, I'll give you a great idea, you write it, and we can split the profits 50/50."
