Happy Friday! If you’re in the Boston area and looking for a fun activity this Saturday, swing by the Bow Market Book Fest! For the morning folks, I’ll be on a panel about fantasy world building w/ @fondalee.bsky.social and @jennlyons.bsky.social, hosted by @sidequestbooks.bsky.social Can’t wait!
I'll be at the Bow Market Book Fair this Saturday in Somerville, along with @jennlyons.bsky.social and @lyndsayely.bsky.social courtesy of @sidequestbooks.bsky.social. Come say hi!
I would 100% go there just to occasionally exclaim “oh god it’s happening!” while staring intently at a random screen (until the bartenders kicked me out)
FANTASY WORLDBUILDING PANEL!
This lineup! Are you KIDDING me?! @fondalee.bsky.social, Jenn Lyons, @lyndsayely.bsky.social. A dream. RSVP for Book Fair here: www.tickettailor.com/events/bowma...
Looks like there’s going to be some cool people at the 7th Annual Bow Market Book Fair on Saturday, March 21! @fondalee.bsky.social @lyndsayely.bsky.social @allshewrotebks.bsky.social @jennlyons.bsky.social
We’re doing a query drive to raise money to help relieve acute food insecurity among families sheltering in place. Come through!
If you could throw a few bucks to Zion Community Commons, Venmo @ Chef-Collective-1123, it would be a big help. This is solidarity, not charity. Let’s do the thing.
To families sheltering-in-place every week DESPERATELY needs funds to keep going. Lots of other food sources are drying up and the need is going to be great for a long time to come, even after the drawdown ACTUALLY happens (it has not happened yet)
Hi friends,
I know a bunch of you are probably getting very sick of hearing about me talk about living under occupation instead of my signature Getting Mad About Publishing Stuff but a VERY important MN community hub that is sending out thousands of bags of nourishing, culturally-appropriate foods
$1.99 ebook deal for The Lost Reliquary
It’s getting all blizzardy up in the Northeast. Better charge that e-reader and stock up on books! Luckily, the ebook of THE LOST RELIQUARY is still on sale for only $1.99. (Offer also available in areas not about to get buried in snow ❄️ 😩 ⛄️ )
Literally
This one hits hard.

Me AND @gillianlynndaniels.bsky.social on a panel?! 💯
Wanna make sure people saw this one. The latest ICE child trafficker who got arrested—yes there have been more than one, just in this specific Minnesota suburb!—his job was to do background checks on all other ICE agents hoping to get hired
It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!
I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

Every time this comes up I wonder if we're ever going to shift the conversation to why women are avoiding them.
Superbowl ads for the last 5 years have been capital displaying total cultural victory by publicly humiliating celebrities.
All of your childhood heroes work for Uber Eats now. There is no mass culture unless Liberty Mutual says there is.
A set of four cake pops that read HAPPY VALENTINES DAY; The first has H, VA, and D; The second has A LEN A; the third has PP TIN Y; the last has Y ES <3. A cartoon below shows a very sad hamster holding up the one that reads PP TINY
I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.
Working on our plans for tomorrow (collective decision making takes time!) but while we do that, did you know both of our locations have Pay It Forward Boards. What's a Pay It Forward Boards? Well...

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:
"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Promo feels ick right now but it’s also worth reminding folks to support their indie bookstores (especially the ones taking a stand against The Horrors). This deal is available at Bookshop.org for a limited time. #booksky
It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.
