New story out today in @orangesjournal . If you have a chance check it out! It’s one of my favorite pieces. #WritingCommunity #story orangesjournal.com/fiction/girlho…

@scliest @dewdroplin I think the fault of the feminist thing lies in part with the introduction/Afterword

@dewdroplin Non oomf but I who have never known men is a solid book. A lot of disappointment in the book seems to stem from the fact that they expected it to be a feminist book when it isn’t.

Besties do I read or unhaul these two? Been sat on my shelf for a longtime and I keep seeing bad reviews on booktwt (booktok seems to love)

@shannonIynch the butt shot at the beginning threw me off so bad I couldn't finish it

so crazy that this was autumn de wilde’s debut but crazier that she hasn’t done another feature film since

@helena_author Literally sharing a rejection is how I got a book deal soooo. I didn’t share the agent/agency name irc, but they did comment on the post.

Querying writers, please don't post screenshots of the rejections you've received, especially the ones that include the agency/agent name. Trad publishing requires a lot of secrecy in the process and agents take note of those who overshare online.

@SugAquarius7 This is exactly why I made this video: youtu.be/ZdWADW6wAQg?si…

Oh.. We're fighting people who genuinely don't know anything about music...

What’s a good entry point into literary science fiction. It all feels so impenetrable to me. For reference, the closest I’ve delved into the genre is Vonnegut

@outropyt Sigh people and their bad takes, but thank you 😊

@LydiaMWrites thank you sm for this! like genuinely!! i’m so happy you did a deep dive on body to body and how it basically shows that the arirang sample was indeed needed. i’ve seen soooo many ppl say that it didn’t fit bc the song is shallow and is kind of a club anthem 😭 the madness omg

oh….OH

@prettygirlfebe @brantleywrites lol I was just looking at the pretty books and was like why is someone crawling out of the floor 😳

@LydiaMWrites @brantleywrites Oh lmaooo it’s actually this

My bookshelves!!! I have 266 bookw

@prettygirlfebe @brantleywrites

@LydiaMWrites @brantleywrites What hand?

@quinnsreads 🥲

me with a library card, libby, AND a job, still going to my site without fail to download a book

@jjkspipers Thank you army 🤝

@LydiaMWrites i’ll give it a watch yes

i’m not listening to non black people tell me about the use of AAVE in arirang…“they misused it” well no! they actually used it correctly lily from rhode island

@wispyoongi *points at the video I made talking about this* youtu.be/ZdWADW6wAQg?si…

i really think y’all are interpreting some non-sexual, poetical, prosey lyrics as innuendos and in turn missing out on the real freak lyrics. we are in a literacy crisis.

@amykdebellis ….im writing a book in third person present 🥲

Addicted to the worst writing style of all: third person present tense

@TanArchivism We can replace it with the video I just uploaded fighting against the disingenuous criticism about the album🙂‍↕️ youtu.be/ZdWADW6wAQg?si…

🚨 When you search for ARIRANG, a hate video is the first thing that is recommended. In a few clicks we can try to change this: 1) 3 dots => send feedback => click on the flag on the video 2) report under multiple categories such as hateful / innacurate content

youtu.be/ZdWADW6wAQg?si… I controlled my crash out about Arirang by BTS and turned it into a mostly calm analysis. #Arirang @BTS_twt

The video I’m about to make about BTS’ Arirang album…I’m really putting my English literature degree to use!!!

@Glossymim Soooo many. But a lot of my thoughts are surrounding the idea that people are either being disingenuous or are just extremely bad at critical thinking and analysis. Like I’ve heard that the lyrics are shallow (provably false), doesn’t sound like bts (wrong again), etc etc.

@LydiaMWrites Would like to hear your thoughts 🤔

That’s it I can’t stand to watch another bad take about BTS’s new album Arirang. I’m gonna have to do the actual critical thinking and analysis and make a YouTube video about it. 😮‍💨
