the stereotype of a fat bully picking on skinny kids is kinda funny to me because that’s literally the exact opposite of reality

lot of posts out there on an age of suffering - "if you are 14 right now i'm so sorry" "19 year olds. hold my hand. we will make it through this" "do not kill yourself while 21" - and they're all correct. but let's be positive... let's choose an age that we will assume was awesome for everyone. and post about it in celebration. if you are 2 right now well it is awesome right

Everybody driving a car thinks they're the main character of the car. This is an ideologically bourgeois attitude. You know who doesn't ever feel like the main character of the vehicle they're in? Literally everyone on the bus. You're on the fucking bus. And the bus driver doesn't feel like the main character of the bus because she's at fucking work. The bus is the most ideologically proletarian form of transport.

The Locked Tomb series audiobooks will be re-released in Graphic Audio!

Early this morning, somebody on Twitter liked an old post of mine with a press release from Tamsyn’s literary agent’s website. And it made me realize I had not checked it in a really long time. So I looked, and found out not only that some new translations of Princess Floralinda (Italian and Hungarian!) and Gideon (Greek!) were coming, but that the rights for the TLT audiobooks were sold to Graphic Audio!!!

What does this mean? In short, we will be getting all new versions of each of the Locked Tomb audiobooks, with a full cast recording. That means different voice actors playing different roles as if we were listening to a real audio drama or dramatic reading of a stage play. No idea if Moira Quirk will be involved or not (god I hope so!!!) but this is cool! It usually only happens with really successful novels.

Also I looked up why it says “abridged” and I guess that usually just means they replace something such as descriptions of noises with the actual sounds. So ringing bells instead of the “blah blam” of the Ninth bells, etc. But otherwise it will be the full recordings of the full books!

I CAN’T WAIT!

Anonymously tell me your assumpmtions about me and I'll confirm or deny them.

would you?

I think chat gpt is as lame as the next guy but it is really funny to see the anti-ai crowd rally to defend the sanctity and necessity of the human soul in the creation of work emails

I love this big girl...
