@mollycrabapple.bsky.social My mom just texted me to show off that she had already preordered the book. You have a lot of Starks in your corner!
In case you aren't aware, preordering is a huge way to support authors. Booksellers watch preorder sales numbers to decide what to stock and feature. Preorders count as first-day sales, boosting the possibility of a book making it to bestseller lists.
Years ago, via a painting by her great-grandfather, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social got fascinated by the Jewish Bund, a secular, anti-zionist socialist movement. We are all very lucky she did. Her book "Here Where We Live Is Our Country" comes out on 4/7. Preorder here: bookshop.org/p/books/here...

MacArthur Park is a legit good song, my dude. Go to your room.

You too could have this hat.
Person wearing green sweater and green hat with orange patch that says trying, and holding a black hardcover book by Mike Monteiro called How to Die. The lettering is pink and features an ice cream cone plus the bottom of another cone that has been bitten down.
You know it’s a good day when the mail brings a brilliant book by @monteiro.bsky.social and great merch from @dansinker.com
Hey if you or anyone you know is looking for an experienced technical writer/editor, full or part time, remote only, get in touch with my pal @jagosaurus.bsky.social who is a good egg and looking for work right now. I genuinely wish I could hire her. She’s a catch.

Everything sucks. We are all overwhelmed. What can we do? Well… we can help others. Let’s help some Brooklyn Park, Minnesota folks make their rent payments. We're going to clear the board, folks get their rent money, and it’s gonna feel amazing. Wins all around! www.gofundme.com/f/minnesota-...
