Hi all! Social media is like screaming into the void, something I know a lot of you feel. No matter what I try, my reach shrinks. Hopefully, a break will make my brain magically click on this marketing thing. Street Team, cover reveal, and ARC allocating will remain open. All lynx in my bye-oh.

I'm seeing some really interesting discourse on signing up for protests. (Personally it's never made sense to me to sign up for a free, public, outdoor event even BEFORE security became an issue) But my genuine question is--how do we safely yet effectively communicate with people?

Again, I'm just describing the situation. If we want to transform it, there's pretty much only one thing for converts to do: shut the fuck up and listen. But even that might be too much to ask.

When a lonely clockmaker loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning slowly into a beast—and dying alongside his forest. Text is inside a translucent gold textbox beside a generic green cover with the corner peeled back because we don't have an official cover yet, labeled The Lord of the Wood, Hanover Square Press, July 2026. Preorder now! Textbox is over an image of a stag standing alert in a field surrounded by autumn leaves

Brb just crying over here. My lifelong best friend (I've known her since I was 9) texted me tonight about my 7yo son (purple) and her 7yo son (blue). Parenting is hard and I second guess myself all the time but this part? Such joy.

PURPLE is such a sweet friend to BLUE. I see so much of your passion and empathy and courage in him.

When BLUE got hurt at soccer it was like PURPLE's world stopped and nothing mattered until he helped his friend off the field and made sure he was ok before going back. And when his team got awards he was primarily concerned with asking the coach if he had enough awards to give BLUE one as well.

I hope they end up with a precious lifelong friendship like we have.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

General Interference with Organizations and
Production
(a) Organizations and Conferences
(1) Insist on doing everything though "channels." Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

(2) Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length.. Illustrate your. "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.

(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideratlon." Attempt to make the committees as large
as possible — never less than five.

[highlighted] (4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently
as possible.

WNDB's Statement on the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights Dismissing Book Ban Complaints (🧵 1/4)

A gold, beige, orange, and pinked colored graphic with a white post-it note at the center that says, “Book Bans are All Too Real: A Statement from WNDB.”

A gold, beige, orange, and pinked colored graphic, designed to look like a white memo is taped to the background. The text reads as follows: “The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights recently dismissed 11 book ban complaints and six pending ones. They also retracted past guidance that was issued against the removal of books. Their announcement was headlined: ‘U.S. Department of Education Ends Biden’s Book Ban Hoax.’ Let us be clear: book bans are very real. Censorship efforts have been spreading exponentially since 2021, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the chilling impact that they have had on teachers, librarians, students, and readers — and on our country’s freedom to read.”
