EXCITING NEWS!! Pre-orders for Dead & Breakfast through Always Here Bookstore will be SIGNED BY BOTH OF US!! You'll also get two spooky silly stickers and the joy of supporting an independent queer bookstore!

www.alwaysherebooks.com/product/dead...

On a blue to green gradient background, green text reads "Preorder Campaign" with the book cover for Dead & Breakfast (Two men stand in the foreground. On the left, a white man with graying hair wearing a suit and tie holds a cup of coffee. On the right, a shorter man with long dark hair, pale skin, and a ruffly cravat holds a goblet of blood with a silky straw. They both have vampire fangs. Behind them is a field of flowers and a large house with a cat perched on a sign that says “welcome. Over the top is the title “DEAD & BREAKFAST” the tagline “come for the vampires stay for the scones” and the byline “Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor”) beneath. An orange and black bumper sticker says "COEXIST" with occult and paranormal iconography instead of religious symbols, and a die cut sticker says "The Dead & Breakfast" with a stack of pancakes and a stake through the middle. Beneath, text reads "Invite these vampires into your home via Always Here Bookstore before October 22nd to receive a signed copy and swag"

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

Paperback copies of Dead & Breakfast next to a teal tea pot and black tea cup. The cover shows two men holding hands. On the left, a white man with graying hair wearing a suit and tie holds a cup of coffee. On the right, a shorter man with long dark hair, pale skin, and a ruffly cravat holds a goblet of blood with a silly straw. They both have vampire fangs. Behind them is a field of flowers and a large house with a cat perched on a sign that says “welcome. Over the top is the title “DEAD & BREAKFAST” the tagline “come for the vampires stay for the scones” and the byline “kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor.” The spine shows the title text in blue and the byline in red with a black cat curled around a goblet of blood with a silly straw.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

AI is like a Trolley Problem for media CEOs, except they don't realize the options are actually "stop the trolley" or "the trolley runs me over six months after I let it run over my employees."
