Brittney | Lit & Knits @litandknits.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I haven’t been on here much because social media in the hellscape that is late stage capitalism veering into fascism is — SURPRISE! — terrible for my mental health, but I wanted to share that my books are open for bookish social media marketing strategy consults, and copy/line editing. 181
Brittney | Lit & Knits @litandknits.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I’ve been laughing about Silver Elite discourse and theories about trad pub experimenting with “authorless campaigns” to see if they can use AI to create “original” IP. LOLOL. Please. Your publicist or editor has definitely already sat through a “lunch & learn” on the ethics of AI in publishing. 070

Brittney | Lit & Knits @litandknits.bsky.social · 15/01/2025This is a question for #knitsky: I am about 2 weeks into a bout of De Quervain tenosynovitis (read as: thumb to wrist tendon injury). I was knitting socks on 2.25mm dpns and now it’s too small to knit comfortably. Is a project on say, 4.0mm or 6.5mm needles doable or should I just rest entirely? 410
