Books have been banned. Artists have been censored. Writers have been exiled, imprisoned, even killed for their words. Art has always been political… because truth has always been dangerous to those in power. #writersky

You know what I don’t get? People calling their lack of morals a “difference of opinion.” At least have the guts to admit you’re a fascist.

The U.S. is the epitome of what happens when the 1% masters the art of distracting everyone else with shiny things.

To an autistic person small talk is like having to watch the same annoying unskippable ad every time you meet someone.

A quick reminder: if you’re trying to debate someone insults don’t count as arguments.

Revising first draft of your manuscript is always like moving furniture. At first, it’s exciting. Then you’re just standing there, exhausted, wondering if the couch was actually fine where it was. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Sometimes being autistic feels like being the only one who sees the invisible details of a situation while everyone else just floats on the surface.

Autistic writers be like: “I want to write a book where the MC is visibly ND.” Then spend 300 pages accidentally masking their traits because that’s how we exist in the world. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Trump is gutting museums and libraries—just like the Nazis did. And if you’re still confused, thinking this is all about “government efficiency”… you’re walking around with eyes wide shut. This is exactly how fascists controlled knowledge, rewrote history, and paved the way for authoritarian rule.

They're going after libraries because education became elitist. And an informed, well-read public is a threat.

Nothing like the “pro-life because we need to save the children” crowd actively trying to destroy kids with policies that cut their access to food, healthcare, affordable housing, and education. Tf you need lunch in school? Get born, then get lost.

To the person on threads who said authors shouldn’t get political—sorry if us speaking up about not being Nazis bothers you. It should. That’s literally the whole point. I don’t think fascists are the audience for our books, and if they are, we’ve failed as authors.

TheAuthorCouple @theauthorcouple.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

The whole point is to keep us poor, uneducated, scared, unhealthy, and divided. Only then are we the easiest to manipulate.

If the “woke virus” Elon keeps talking about comes with symptoms like compassion, empathy, human rights, kindness, equity, justice, and critical thinking, then I sincerely hope it becomes the next pandemic.

One time I did the laundry, and all my husband’s underwear came out pink because I washed it with my hot pink sweatpants. Needless to say, I haven’t been asked to do laundry since. It’s been 17 years🤣🤌🏻

“What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?” A real man. A confident, intelligent man who knows that carrying a grocery bag doesn’t threaten his masculinity—or castrate his ego.

How can writers not be political? Our world view bleeds into everything we write. The two are literally mutually inclusive.

It’s so easy to manipulate people when you teach them to hate something or someone. That’s literally how fascism works.

I think the most terrifying thing was not the salute itself but all the people clapping. If you ever wondered how 1939 started… That is how.

You can call us “flakes” or “sensitive,” but at least we’re not the ones losing our minds over all-gender bathrooms.

I love how the same crowd that crucified Tim Walz’s neurodivergent son for proudly screaming “That’s my dad!” just a couple of months ago is now using autism as an excuse for fascist behavior. The bias is really bias-ing.

It’s terrifying to watch the absolute disillusionment of Americans who think “oh this could never happen here.” And I say it as someone who grew up under totalitarian government. #authorsky #booksky #tiktokban

I’m an immigrant. I came to the US in 1999. This is a text from a friend I met in college, who also immigrated here. We both grew up under totalitarian governments in Eastern Europe. We came here for the dreams. And seeing this message broke my heart.

So TikTok is back. I swear, whoever is writing the history of America right now… kudos. That’s some wild plotting skills… the level of complexity, chaos and drama. Just 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Our 10-year-old was telling us about Jamestown, something she learned in school. At one point, my husband says to her, “Just so you know, Smith wasn’t some hero. Think about how the Indigenous people would’ve seen him. Remember, my love, history is always written by those who hold more power.”

031

TheAuthorCouple @theauthorcouple.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

We haven’t been consuming mainstream media or art for decades, so it was funny being on TikTok and seeing everyone treating those ideas like they were brand new. I’ll miss it. TikTok felt like, for once, people were finally waking up.

TheAuthorCouple @theauthorcouple.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

The thing about the TikTok ban is, even if the orange man brings it back, the platform’s already compromised. I mean, we all saw the CEO bowing to him.

If you’d told me in 2007 I’d marry a guy I met on MySpace and we’d write award-winning books together, I’d say you’re nuts. But here we are lol

It took us years to realize that not writing is still part of the process. Every word starts with an idea, and every idea lives in the space between conversation and silence.

We published this book three years ago. Suddenly now it’s getting a lot of traction. And yes, that white chemtrail is a missile. When you remove the dust jacket you realize the cover tells the whole story.
