Today at the #Neurodiverse #Entrepreneur Summit, I enjoyed Selling Within Your Spoons with @anniepreneur.bsky.social, & kept thinking, "Wow! Someone who actually understands me, & sees my strengths & struggles, & has non-sleazy solutions to sales that I'd actually feel good about." #StoryToGo

You are not allergic to sales. You are allergic to being sold to by buttheads. Sales avoidance is that pukey, nasty, helpless, maybe even sweaty feeling we get when we are asked to name the price, handle an objection, or follow up. It is not a personal failing. It is a learned response. ~ Non- Sleazy Sales Academy

Annie P Ruggles, "that selling can feel fun, soothing, even pleasurable".

no i am aware that im the worlds greatest author so it would be a huge determent to the world if i did not share my art. youre welcome world. what is just as cool is that YOU are also the worlds greatest author, or artist, or chef, or painter, or dancer. whatever you want to be. so share

In London, they have tours based on The DaVinci Code. I think we Chicagoans should have some. Picture it: @nnedi.bsky.social’s Death of the Author tour starts in Hyde Park then races up Lake Shore to Cozy Corner in Rogers Park where everyone is given a piece of pie and a blunt.

I’m trying to guess @chucktingle.bsky.social’s next Tingler for these dark times. So far my best guess is Pounded In The Butt By Basic Human Decency, or for us sapphics, This Basic Human Decency Gets Me Off.

Hey @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social, y’all never said it had to be a happy love poem! (Do I get bonus points for these all being on my shelf?)

The world is a dumpster fire but @chucktingle.bsky.social prominently used my name, my birthday, and my (vanishing?) orientation in LUCKY DAY. I’d say that’s proof Love Is Real and also that I am a walking Low Probability Event.

We have angered the gods. Bring back the Choco Taco. Play music videos on MTV again. Make movies under 120 minutes. Do history on the history channel. Only make cake out of cake. We must atone.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter may very well be my book of the year. (It’s pure WOW.) But it also gave this introvert stoner the best line for when I’m done talking. “My pipe is empty.” Thank you @sgj.bsky.social. Weasel Plume forever. Thank you @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social for another absolute gem.

I’ve been trying to get my parents to move from MO to IL for 22 years. They have been trying to get me “home” for just as long. But this time, I said “There’s no way in hell I’m leaving @govpritzker.illinois.gov.” And she said “Good point. We’ll come to you.” Thank you, JB, for being our lighthouse.

@kaylsmoon.bsky.social Phantasma had hands down the best and most responsible depiction of OCD I’ve ever encountered in a book - and such a steamy, glorious book at that. Thank you, I’m tremendously grateful for the delicious escape AND the rep.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

In mid-2001, I got into a screaming fight with a nun (well I screamed, she nunned) and that conversation didn’t all the way heal until I finished Camp Damascus this morning. I felt my heart mend in my chest. I love you, @chucktingle.bsky.social. Everybody else, read this book.
