I have a new book coming out Step. 23rd! Full description at the link, but my elevator pitch to my writing chat was "what if a guy time travels to the present but he sort of sucks and has to learn how to be a feminist and also he looks like Robb Stark?"

I recognize there are embargoes and spoiler issues you can't quite talk about, but if at all possible...does this season have violence against small children? (Previous seasons have had way more than I could personally handle, I had to leave the room several times)

Meanwhile, we have a 60-something neighbor who is (like me) a white woman and (like me) a native english speaker. She has called the city on us (for "having too many weeds in our boulevard" and for "replacing a fence") and has also, on occasion, *deliberately kicked over our trash cans*

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

I am not an influencer, but please help me boost Palestinian-owned Nabiha cafe on U street near 17th in DC. The coffee is AMAZING, staff is super friendly, links to donate to Gazan families are easily accessible for customers who want to help

Cute cafe w green chairs and wooden tables and Palestinian art

I'm going to tag @clairewillett.bsky.social because she has a bigger platform than me and this sort of thing is definitely her jam

(next time I'm in DC I'm definitely going here, I need coffee that is basically rocket fuel like this)

Time For You just came out! Perfectionist first year ER resident accidentally runs down a guy with her bike only for him to say he's *actually* from Scotland in 1885. Then he gets to learn about feminism via Clueless and is very impressed by the measles vaccine.

I'll be honest, "discrepancies" is reallllllllly soft pedaling a massive fuck up here

The issue was first addressed in a letter sent by Katie Espiner, Hachette UK’s CEO of adult divisions, to the Association of Authors’ Agents (AAA) and then distributed to the trade body’s members. The letter, seen by The Bookseller, acknowledged several discrepancies that had arisen since the introduction of the new systems and promised the utmost urgency in minimising delays to author payments.

Elizabeth Davis @elizabethdavis.bsky.social · 4d

Screenshots of the relevant parts if you're paywalled out:

Many agents have expressed sympathy with Hachette’s difficulties in the implementation, but noted that may not be comforting to authors. One senior agent at a large agency, who asked not to be identified, told The Bookseller Daily that “the issues appear to be ubiquitous and royalty statements that were sent out are riddled with errors, impacting pretty well every agency and author. [Hachette is] working hard to rectify this and have drafted in extra resources to do so, but it is a big problem and means that, until it is rectified, we are unable to properly account royalty earnings to our authors.”

When contacted by The Bookseller for comment, Hachette’s director of financial planning Emily-Jane Taylor reiterated some of the key points in the original letter to the AAA. Taylor said: “Hachette has completed a move to a new royalty accounting system, which will provide us with improved, efficient and user-friendly statements. As is often the case with a wholesale move of this magnitude, we are experiencing some issues with our first-ever full royalty run on the new system.

Head's up to anyone published by Hachette UK, looks like a software switch has borked *every single royalty statement*

Hachette UK’s new royalty system’s first run is hit by ‘discrepancies’

Agents have expressed concern at changes to Hachette UK’s royalty accounting system that have led to “significant and impactful” discrepancies and errors in statements sent to agencies.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

I've been noticing Christmas stuff out at some places since two weeks ago, and my hulu commercials are also starting to lean that way

Elizabeth Davis @elizabethdavis.bsky.social · 7d

I ran high school cross country against Naperville and they (circa 2001) had a stick with a baby doll head dangling from it as their good luck charm. This indicates nothing about them generally (teenagers are weird) but 20+ years later I hear "Naperville" and think "ah yes, the doll head people"

I share this story a lot, but it was very illuminating in terms of "what do average voters think the president's job is"

Elizabeth Davis @elizabethdavis.bsky.social · 8d

In 2016 I door knocked just before e-day & spent 30 mins with a possible-dem voter whose concerns were, in order:

1) Will HRC streamline medical billing
2) Warren Buffett invests in fossil fuels, will he lose $ if we go green
3) what will happen to train cars that carry coal if we stop using it

You don't need a degree in cognitive neuroscience to get this. I started out knocking on doors. I hated it, but even I have to admit I learned a lot about how normal people understand things. For most normal, persuadable, gettable voters, politics is a TV that's on loud in another room.

Elizabeth Davis @elizabethdavis.bsky.social · 8d

it's so rude when that happens
