I mean there will be more for sale, just maybe not from a publisher.

When I met my husband in 2003 he was a manager at an indie movie theater and he kept the theatre open after the last movie so we could watch A Very Long Engagement at 2am because he knew how much I adored Amelie.

I had a dream last night that I got an offer on one of the two books I've had die on sub in the past two years, and waking up was... Depressing.

TradPub really doesn't want more of my books, which is a bitter pill.

It's so grim, and the willingness to hand over thinking to llms to try to hide the consequences of their choices is really. .. really something

Welcome to Carrigan's!

Ok but book people, which book do you feel this way about? Mine is The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner.

I say this to other educators ALL THE TIME. It wasn't lockdown! Most of our kids never even locked down! They all got freaking brain damage, and we will never know how to teach them if we don't acknowledge that as the starting point.

Real talk, Tara is my favorite Carrigan's character (after Kringle) and unfortunately that means I did give her my deepest insecurities. Because when you love your characters you.... Fuck them up the worst?

Am I Zuko?

I love you so much!!

And finally, if you feel deep in your cells that you are fundamentally Not Enough and have spent your life desperately trying to earn your oxygen, and believe you are unlovable, you might be Tara Sloane Chadwick.

I support you!

If you hate capitalism and refuse to participate in making your career your identity, and you maybe suck a little at long term emotional intimacy (or you just really love Paramore), you might be Holly Siobhan Delaney!

If you've ever considered pulling a Glennon Doyle and throwing away your safe life for a hot sober butch, Noelle Northwood is the lesbian for you.

If you hate capitalism and refuse to participate in making your career your identity, and also maybe suck at long term emotional intimacy (or you're just a big Paramore fan), you might be Holly Siobhan Delaney!

It's Lesbian Visibility Week! Carrigan's Christmasland is home to many lesbians. Which one is right for you?

Yessssss

His intense, cell-deep conviction that he's not enough and has to earn his place in the world (and his painful justice sensitivity) are like looking in the hardest mirror.

My ten year old sobbed to me earlier this week because he thinks he's a bad person because he can't stay on top of all his school work. I would like to dismantle capitalism with my bare fucking hands.

I wish I'd been keeping screenshots for when the AI bubble bursts.

Remember when a bunch of actors fell for NFTs?

This CNN report really has me in my cynicism this morning about trying to teach consent to teenage boys growing up in community with these men. I feel like all my sex ed is a gnat in the face of a tsunami.

I'm kind of sad I already have a bread and roses tattoo because now I want this one

The MC is from Charleston and the audiobook narrator is an actual South Carolinian because I could not deal with a shit southern accent. In case that's a thing you also care about.

Hey would you like a romance about two lesbians on a road trip to an ex's wedding where they're pretending to date + there's only one bed? What if there's some existential angst? I wrote one and the audiobook is on sale for 3.99

I'm not surprised. When someone in TBC brings up past shenanigans you're like ah yes, I can tell you the exact context of this unhinged quote about anal sex saving a life, give me a moment while I recall minute details.

I do know this about you and I also know you were there when the deep magic was written.

I'm personally obsessed with the idea of this collaboration.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

truly feels like this would be a slam dunk impeachment and you could scoop up a lot more than just Hegseth. "war profiteering" is not hard to explain to low-info voters and would work even on people who are a hell of a lot more pro-military than us. "disrespecting our brave troops" or whatever
