Okay I need to tell y’all something

if someone doesn’t act right in my replies I must block them

People don’t know how to act here yet, and will come to argue or dunk back and drag it out and listen Bluesky doesn’t put up with that

I don’t either

Conduct yourselves

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.
www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

I just wanna talk about what I had for lunch, but things are going on and we should not be obligated to ignore them for the sake of some CEOs pitch deck.

I’ve only been to a couple of protests that went yikes but it’s a vibe. if you’re paying attention to the crowd—like if you’re in a mosh pit? it’s that same sense you get and it’ll tell you
