If you get an email like this, double check the email address it's coming from, check the real person's social media to see if they've posted a warning, and don't give the person reaching out to you a dime. (They don't ask for money in the initial email but I'm sure that's where this is going.)

π¨ Heads up authors and reps in the publishing world π¨
Scammers are posing as real, existing reps pretending to express interest in manuscripts. Two of my rep friends have been impersonated & one author friend received a fraudulent request from someone posing as a real editor. Be careful out there!
You don't need to meet decision-makers right now. You need to find your people - the ones who text you when they hear about an opening, who recommend you when they can't take a gig, who champion your work because they believe in it. That's a network. And you can build it authentically, today.

Wait is that NOT Gary Oldman in TRUE ROMANCE? π
We reached out to Goldilocks for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.

A white garment with some kind of food stain. Humiliating.
A pair of dirty hands rest on a car engine. Rough, tough, cool.
Here is an easy solution:
Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves.
Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled.
Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
They are all cut from the same predatory cloth, that's for sure.
That was Jesse Watters IIRC
Thanks @noproscenium.com!

Thank you for reminding me to check if I followed him, I had totally forgotten. Immediately unfollowed.
Wait I'm on the cutting edge of fashion? How did this happen π
I remember him from "The Boy Who Left Home to Find Out About the Shivers"! Classic
The specific allegations against Swalwell asideβ¦.this response reflects a very pervasive (but wrong) belief. Most sexual violence is relational and survivors keeping contact w/ their assailants is very common and not necessarily discrediting (esp when thereβs a power imbalance)

I'm glad you picked up on that π
A close-up of a makeup display at CVS that's encased in glass, with the square, red "Customer Service - Push" button" inconveniently locked behind the glass.
At CVS, where the button you push to request that an employee unlock a cabinet is.... also locked behind said cabinet.
...I feel like this is a metaphor but I can't put my finger on it.
I love this! I have 3 friends I made a beeline to befriend at work parties bc they were wearing outfits in this vein. That's how you find your people!
Right?? π
