Writer of FLEX/SOL MAJESTIC/DRAGON KINGS OF OKLAHOMA. He/him. No longer spewing idiocy into the world through social media; sorry about that.

If your perspective is “The democratic vote doesn’t count unless we win”, then that equates to “I oppose democracy.”
This is where the Overton Window is heading for the Republican Party.

Like, you do not have to agree with me on everything! Most of my friends don't! @ockapus and I fight like cats in a sack! But just appearing like Tuxedo-fucking-Mask to say "actually YOU'RE WRONG" because someone retweeted me into your TL doesn't earn you my time!

(There WERE certainly books that did well during the pandemic, of course - there are always breakout hits - but my sense of it is that a lot of people were either too stressed to read or coalesced around their old favorites, putting a squeeze on new/midlisters. Could be wrong.)

(Not to trash @itsneonyang's very valid point, which is a fear that every author has to come to terms with. But you can fail for reasons that had nothing to do with you - I had a friend who published a very good book the week after the 2016 election.

@grousehaus @fivewithflores @mixedknuts @Top8Games I am excited to see what a chef of his caliber does when working in plant-based areas, I am not as thrilled about paying Eleven Madison Park-prices for vegetarian meals.

@fivewithflores @mixedknuts @Top8Games Yeah, saw this in the NYT yesterday. I am guessing it will still be fantastic

Thanks for the mammaries... Which will no longer be contributing to artisanal cheese plates :(

My mother told me I was too irresponsible to have a paper route when I was a young boy, and I have never stopped resenting the implication even as I recognize that she was absolutely correct
