This is huge: You can now buy ebooks from Bookshop.org, a website that helps boost sales to local independent bookshops!

To read an ebook purchased from Bookshop.org, you must use their own app (for a mobile device) or read it in a web browser. So, unfortunately, you can't (yet) send it to your ereader, but still, you're able to buy ebooks and also share a little bit of that profit with your local bookstore, if they're an affiliate!

I would really encourage people to check this out. During times of instability it is important to support your local economy. Instead of giving your money to Amazon so Bezos can add to his dragon's hoard, why not give it to a local bookshop where that money will go to real people who actually love books and provide a community space for readers?

And I do mean local! You can choose exactly which bookshop your money goes to when you buy from this website! If you don't have a local shop, the profits are still divided among the indie bookstores.

Now that they are offering ebooks it just makes it that much easier for us booklovers to ditch Amazon. I know I already do all of my ebook reading on my phone so it's a no-brainer for me.

I Will Tell this Story to the Sun Until You Remember that You are the Sun, Erin Slaughter

media literacy would automatically go up 100% if people knew how to consume stories without self-inserting themselves into the characters' shoes. "if i were him..." you're NOT. you may relate to his story, his past, his traits, his quirks, his identity but the moment you start treating the story accepting what you feel/think as what the character feels/thinks, you're misunderstanding the story.

#the point of 'walking in a characters shoes' is to get a NEW point of view you were unfamiliar with #not to shoehorn the blorbo into your worldview as if they were YOU (x)

PSA

Before you add The Handmaid's Tale and 1984 to your Banned Books list, I want you to remember they're two of the most accessible titles today. Instead consider titles by Black, Indigenous and authors of Colour who are more likely to and have already been banned instead.

YALL?? NEW GLITCH 2D ANOMATED SERIES??? PRODUCED BY FUCKING DANA TERRACE??? CREATOR OF THE OWL HOUSE??? AND IT LOOKS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A HOROR SERIES???

OOOOOOH BOY WE ARE GONNA BE EATING WITH THIS ONE

Damn, I gotta update this intro post. I haven’t been years for a while 😬

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

💗 i love them!!! 💗

writing from a kid’s pov is so fucking weird like you wanna have a kid vibe for internal flow but not so much that it feels like a caricature and then at the end of the day you’re not a kid anymore and when you were a kid you were a weird one so your frame of reference is a little skewed anyway this is relatable content right

Neurotypical writers giving advice: Be realistic with your goals. Try to outline or write a little every day. Refill the well. Get yourself a cup of tea and write for 30 minutes until the tea is empty. Check in daily with your accountability buddies for the next three to six months.

ADHD writers giving advice: Put on a movie that matches the tone of your novel to kickstart your dopamine and get into hyperfocus, then put a song on loop on noise-cancelling headphones, livestream your writing session so you feel watched and owe someone accountability, and write as much as you can for as long as you can. Don't forget to eat, sleep or drink. Now go write that novel in 5 days.
