@LilyGodWhy I am! I could never abandon it, waugh. I just had a publisher book - baby - pandemic triple whammy and I’m still figuring out what my production schedule looks like now!

I went to a workshop by @dmeconis about tackling this very problem by creating characters that build *story* and I've basically never stopped thinking about it since

decided to repost these thoughts of mine from tumblr, since a lot of people seemed to agree!

I have a very limited run of Hellphabet risograph prints in my shop right now!

@EthanMAldridge I would love for more book shows to have an “Artist Alley” ALA style to promote cross-pollination and show prose writers that it’s not scary. Get some ringers like Ursula Vernon and Kate Milford in there.
English
@dmeconis That's been my feeling with things like Brooklyn Book Fest, etc. And I sometimes see prose writers in small comic cons and artist alleys, and it never seems like quite the right audience for it. We're really missing out on something here.
English
Hey authors! How many of you actively try to have a table at literary conventions? I'm coming from the comic book side of the industry, where cons are a big part of the job, and I'm wondering how common that kind of promotional work is for prose writers.

@nicolesjchung Plenty of time to put in a delivery order with me for your favorite unhinged Portland foodstuff 👀

@letsgoayo Yeah I assume this is referencing the “sinus” branded side products that have phenylephrine cut in, which is useless

Benadryl is an antihistamine, man.

Americans have been wasting billions a year on cold medicines like Sudafed & Benadryl with the active ingredient phenylephrine, despite conclusive evidence they don't work. But a report published yesterday may finally lead to the removal of these drugs from pharmacy shelves. 1/6

@EthanMAldridge Honestly there aren’t a ton! Even the regional lit and book festivals are really set up for retailers and indie publishers to exhibit, not individual authors or creator collectives. There’s a very awkward seam in the middle.
English
@dmeconis I'm willing, I just don't know where the tables are at! Not since BookCon and Book Expo got vaporized.

@aimeekitty Oh, no. It is so hard to be both a grieving child and a parent of grieving children ❤️

In real life, trans people are normal. Most people see us, clock us or don’t, and then move on with their lives because they are not Fucking weirdos with nothing better to do than invent new things to be mad at.

I have had no in-person problems but edfringe has really brought the garbage trolls to all my online accounts and I’ll say - I didn’t miss this from back in the doubleclicks days. Living without the radiation of constant anonymous insults is much much better

This is a very cool story – thanks to @anomalily for spotlighting it! opb.org/article/2023/0…
