I think everyone feels that way.
I don’t really like shopping there but I also don’t want to live in a world with zero bookstores either.

FWIW my local HPB has you on an endcap.

@robertjbennett.bsky.social Hey, congrats man! I just saw that you won the Hugo for Tainted Cup. That book was SUCH a great read.

I’m still mad that when I went into my local B&N for a physical copy, they said they didn’t carry any of your work.

I bet they do now. 😉

I loathe Gavin Newsom but he’s doing what we’ve been begging the Democratic Party for since Day 1. This redistricting war is lose/lose but I’d rather go out swinging than go with our heads buried in the sand. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

10/10 idea. No notes except maybe everyone should do it. I don’t live in NY or I’d run with this. You’re brilliant.

Alternately, it turns out that maybe gatekeeping the publishing industry for white cis men wasn’t what the people wanted after all.

What the people really wanted was sexy elves and dragons. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m absolutely enraged at the democrats refusal to do ANYthing. Aside from AOC and the black caucus, they’re just sitting in a pile of sternly worded memos. It’s like the dem leadership is just too old to pay attention. How did we get here?

I think the EU should tell trump to go fuck himself and let the tariffs happen.

Hey BlueSky. My amazing kid painted this and I just need to yell it into the void a little bit:

With all due respect, sir, some of us had the chance to hold this president accountable for violating the emoluments clause 7 years ago but chose to do nothing. Let’s not feign shock when he continues to do it now.

White eggs are more expensive than brown eggs here in Missouri, which is how I know racism is still a problem.

Do you want to sink our Standard & Poor’s debt rating? Cause this is how we tank out our S&P rating. We already bruised it back in 2011 by shutting down the government. Inciting a global trade war is likely to bump us down considerably more.

Maybe people just realized his work isn’t that good after all 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wasn’t really sure where you were going with this but you stuck the landing.

So JD Vance killed the pope?
This season of America is super fucked up.

If an American company buys a Chinese social media app, do they pay import tariffs?

Or do we wave that for purchases made by corporations since the tariffs are mostly just paid by us poors?

I once converted all my Meta ads to writer-specific advertising content, mostly short story contests. It was kind of nice for about a week, until it reverted back to marketing things Meta thinks I’ve been texting about.

Senator what will you do about it?

A+++ joke.

If an American company buys a Chinese company do they still have to pay the import tariff? Or are they just applying that tax on us poors?

I just need to remind everyone that a Drop of Corruption by @robertjbennett.bsky.social
comes out tomorrow and people should not be sleeping on this weird sci-fi/mystery series that reads like if China Mieville wrote Sherlock Holmes.

This will be remembered as the last moment America could have saved itself. You will be remembered as the politician who gave it all away for nothing.

It is unforgivable.

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

Fact-check: True

Wearing a pink jacket: A wardrobe choice. Protest: What Al Green did. Comply: What everyone wearing a pink jacket did as Al Green was escorted out. Performative Actions: Claiming to protest when you intend to instantly comply instead. Betrayal: Voting to censure someone for actually protesting a thing you only claimed to protest.

Nice run down from @goldenleafbooks.bsky.social on Threads

“Take care of” 😉

By North Korea.
Trump’s America has joined the axis of evil.

AOC is doing it right and the dems ignore her to their detriment.

We’re tired of mediocre white men hugging the center for dear life and telling America their compromises are good enough. Medicare for all. Total immigration reform. Wealth tax. Corporate tax reform.
Eat the rich.

SO TIRED of explaining this to mediocre white men who are too excited about their own opinions in Trump’s America.
