strangely proud of this goof, also you’re welcome to the journalism nerds who collect dumbass correction notes
Correction: (1:45 p.m. ET): This post originally named Santana as the singer of "Man, it's a hot one."

I can’t make this rally tomorrow to speak out against the restructuring of the New School, where I loved teaching last spring and was disappointed to have my class canceled at the last second this fall. But please go show up and support us workers if you can. There’s going to be a jazz band! ✊
Students, staff, & faculty: This leadership is deciding your fate. Rally to make your voice heard. We are the New School. Demonstrate against downsizing! Speeches, live music, food. Thursday, November 6th at 11:45 a.m. At University Center, 63 Fifth Ave.

I like this suggestion from @annasplat.bsky.social a lot! neonliterary.substack.com/p/publishing...
ONE: Adopt a rule of ten: for every thing you want people to do for you, do it for at least ten other people. If you want to go on a book tour, go to at least ten author events between now and your pub day. If you want people to buy and read your debut novel, buy and if possible also read at least ten debut novels between then and now. If you want to receive fan letters or blurbs or newsletter subscriptions, give those things to other people. You get the idea.
