Reminder that trad pub authors aren’t eligible to unionize in the United States. They can certainly throw their weight around at a certain level and demand their contracts include protections…for them. New authors don’t have that power. From exploitative to worse!

Same! I keep thinking I’ve forgotten how to pay attention but then, no, it’s pretty incoherent. But Helen Mirren chewing the scenery is worth it.

As a San Diegan, I can tell you that it's getting very old over here.

Thank you so much for this, Dr. Swain!

And flood insurance is prohibitively expensive for us. We've had our roof shored up and I'm trying to get someone out to look at the drains (and buying a utility pump). Not sure what else we can/should do at this point.

Thank you so much for all you do. It has been incredibly helpful. I am wondering, for those of us who live on the San Diego coast (2 miles east of the ocean), what is the best way to prepare (other than flood insurance) for what’s to come?

Thank you for this excellent sentence.

So pleased I'm in that extreme purple zone down at the bottom.

Gotta say, navigating this Anthropic copyright (AI theft) class action (as an author who's had all of her books fed into the AI wood chipper) has not made me love my publishers. Are you an #author in this class action? Curious about your experience with it. #BookSky #Anthropic

It's a super hot fall for books (and in every other way!) and we had three of our favorite publisher's reps talking about some of the biggest releases on the Elevenses @dieselbookstore.com podcast today. Check it out here! #BookSky

I saw this movie as a kid and it really freaked me out.

Hearing a lot of people ask how someone can OD at a rehab facility. Rehab by @sho-walter.bsky.social, which I reviewed for @shelf-awareness.com last year, explains exactly how this can happen. It's an excellent, shocking read. Highly recommend. #BookSky www.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.ht...

Deadwood is the best TV series ever made imo. Absolutely inspired. Whole monologues in iambic pentameter! That actually worked!

My measles infection as a kid makes me still immune now. Rubella vax still holding too. Alas, my titers show no immunity to mumps of which there’s an outbreak near me now. So I guess I’ll get the MMR. In for a penny…

Excellent book. Pretty much an explanation for All This as well.

Got paid cash to recreate car accident scenarios for a personal injury lawyer. When he needed someone around my height and weight, I’d sit in a car the same make and model as the one in the accident and he’d take photos.

85 degrees and 72% humidity over here in Del Mar. So it only *feels like* 106. Climate change = zero stars. Do not recommend.

Et tu, Ireland? The world is really headed to a massive Fall of Rome moment. We're all going to be barbarians at the gates in a minute.

For me, it’s kind of useful in determining what or where the pain is coming from. For example, a sinus headache and a tension headache are different colors and textures.
