fyi about screen readers- they don't have a fast forward or rewind (I did not know this!). so starting an image alt text with a very short, high level description could be a useful thing to do.

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

Post from John Perricone

Several years ago l invited a Buddhist monk to speak to my Senior elective class, and quite interestingly, as he entered the room, he didn't say a word (that caught everyone's attention). He just walked to the board and wrote this: "EVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP MOM DO THE DISHES." We all laughed. But then he went on to say this to my students:
"Statistically, it's highly unlikely that any of you will ever have the opportunity to run into a burning orphanage and rescue an infant. But, in the smallest gesture of kindness -- a warm smile, holding the door for the person behind you, shoveling the driveway of the elderly person next door -- you have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe."

Book pre-orders are an indication of reader interest in a title. They demonstrate to publishers and booksellers that working with the author and stocking their books is a wise choice. So, if you love an author's work, consider pre-ordering and/or asking your local library to shelve the book.

Since yesterday afternoon I have been inundated with messages from friends in West Bank— sadly used to occupation, checkpoints and closure— saying they’ve never seen anything like this. And much of it very far from Jenin, eliminating any suggestion it’s related to localised operation there

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

Anarchism is the name of an ideology with a canon of literature & continuing thought put into real world practice that seeks a world beyond the state & hierarchy. Some anarchists don’t mind the term anarchy, I don’t like that conflation. Those who align with & practice this school are anarchists.

THIS. DO NOT PIRATE BOOKS. - Put in requests at your library - If you buy for Kindle, track ebook prices at ereaderiq.com to get notified of sales - If you can, buy DRM-free ebooks and build an archive you completely control - Use Calibre to remove DRM from Kindle & Kobo ebooks for the same purpose

Good thread on why it’s not great to pirate books from marginalised authors! Usually I would be all for stealing shit, but marginalised authors need that money to live, to carry on writing the books you apparently love so much—*especially* if they’re self-pubbed.

Time for a 📌! Hi, I’m Eleanora! I’m a queer, disabled fantasy writer. My WIP, a debut novel but the first in a series, is about an oversized dwarf looking for his father, who finds the meaning of family along the way with the help of a couple of weirdos. I also post left-wing/feminist stuff!

A mood board of nine pictures, arranged as a grid, for my book. From top left, working sideways:

1. A forest glowing with amber sunlight
2. A sword on an old-fashioned map
3. A closeup of a black woman’s mouth
4. A closeup of an amber coloured eye
5. A red background with “Blood or Water? The First Olrion Series Book” in the centre in white, serif font. Above and below are two spacers made up of the moon phases.
6. An aerial shot of some rolling green hills with a cloudy but bright sky
7. Two hands reaching out to grasp each other across a meadow
8. A murky lake surrounded by trees
9. A pint in a clear tankard on top of a wooden table

A selfie. I am a white, femme-presenting (here) genderfluid person. I have a purple bob. I wear a black and white, abstract-printed shirt. I have in gold hoop earrings, and a rhinestone septum and medusa piercing. I have winged black eyeliner, purple eyebrows to match my hair, and grey lipstick.

I fucking love the goblin lore I’ve made in my book. Being a fantasy writer is awesome. Can’t wait to put this book out in the world, once it’s all done and finished and edited and pretty!

Neil Gaiman shouldn’t be treated like an extreme outlier. It’s not fame or following that enables men like Gaiman to act the way they do. It’s power. And power can be A-list celebrity status or it can be the head of any ordinary household or a leader in any local community.

Yes! I have Strong Opinions about this 😂 Stories need *tension* but that can come through revelation, choice, change, love, conciliation, hope... It does not require *conflict* and we do ourselves a disservice by insisting it does.

I haven’t noticed any health benefits (or negatives) from switching from coffee to herbal teas, but seeing as I drink loose leaf, I do get to feel like a forest-dwelling witch in a cosy cottage instead of a caffeinated hobgoblin every time I have a cup, so I reckon that’s a winner

It is snowing. We are not used to snow in the South of England (the ‘southern softies’ jibe is absolutely spot on, which is why others hate it so much). I fear everything will come to a standstill if it keeps it up, especially as we live on top of a hill. What a great excuse to not leave the house 😌
