Looking to get your hands on MIDDLEGAME a little early? Head out to THIRD PLACE BOOKS (@ThirdPlaceBooks) in Lake Forest Park, WA, on Saturday, May 4th, at 6pm.
This particular bookstore has an excellent bakery and a resident blue frog named Cobie. Highly recommended. Plus legit early-release copies of MIDDLEGAME! I don't know yet whether this is a ticketed event.
Looking to get your hands on MIDDLEGAME a little less early, but still within a technically "early" slice of time? I'll be at the Cedar Crossing Powell's on Monday, May 6th. I do not believe this is a ticketed event.
Want to come and see me and @amber_benson get our giggle on? Come to Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego on Thursday, May 9th to see us together and enjoy our dynamic repartee. (That means we yell at each other a lot.) This IS a ticketed event. Tickets include a copy of MIDDLEGAME.
Finally, if none of these events are convenient for you, I will be at @borderlands_sf on Saturday, May 11th, and they are always happy to do mail order.

As we continue our gradual October Daye recap, we reach THE WINTER LONG. This is the book that someone in Penguin Marketing accurately predicted from the title of book one. It's also the book whose back cover text fits in a tweet.
This was book eight. The book I never expected to have the opportunity to write. The book everything else had been building toward, the whole time. It's hard to talk about. It's basically a three hundred page spoiler. It changes EVERYTHING.
This is the book where I learned that if they spell your main character's name wrong on the front cover, they will reprint IMMEDIATELY. So that was educational!

So someone screencapped this ancient blog post and put it on Facebook, and now dudes I don't know are calling me a liar. Fun times!:

seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/528621.html
I especially like being called a liar on Facebook, aka, "the one social media platform where you may actually put a quarter in my mother and create a problem I have to deal with in the flesh world."
Also, I appreciate that I'm being called a liar for a critique of the different ways male and female characters are treated, and the dreaded concept of the Mary Sue. (Hint: I hate that phrase. It's used to belittle, reduce, and dismiss female characters in utterly cruel ways.)

*checks Facebook for the first time in weeks, immediately encounters a dude she doesn't know calling her a liar over an ancient Livejournal post*
Only people who have never gone viral seem to accuse others of lying for "their viral moment." Going viral is MISERABLE. I would never lie for that.
In this case, it was "she's lying to virtue signal." Not really sure how "some people read actions differently when they're taken by male characters" is "virtue signalling," but that whole concept confuses me anyway.

I have cited AO3's taxonomy and archiving systems as models at academic linguistics conferences because they are IMPRESSIVE as usable, durable, well-designed systems, and frankly academia could stand to learn from fandom here
Here's an example: rights transfer and orphaning

Academic archives are patchy when the original depositor of the data dies or doesn't want to be responsible for it anymore. AO3 has a whole system in place to transfer fic to another user or leave it up without your name attached
I was literally at a conference a few years ago when an academic was like "oh yeah we just don't know how to deal with rights transfer at our archive" and I pulled up AO3's orphaning policy as a model

Third Wheel, a collection of two plays by @mel_leilani billed as "peculiar stories of Mormon women in love," is still on sale for $5.
amazon.com/Third-Wheel-Pe…
I got a copy when it came out but went ahead and got more when the book came out. I've seen these plays live and they're breathtaking and I love them and in honor of this sale I'm going to go off for a while with a list of Mormon Lit recommendations and reasons I like each.
I'll start with these plays. @mel_leilani's films (Freetown and Jane & Emma) are more widely known and are both important milestones in Mormon cinema. But Mel is at her very best writing for the intimacy of the stage.

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.
#BDK18-rush-hour.

This happened earlier today in Lake Forest Park, WA. They aren't giving names or saying what this is about, but whoever the suspect is, he seems pretty important. komonews.com/news/local/hea…
Maybe this is typical procedure for that area? But, they had a search warrant, brought in swat, closed off roads, and a U.S. Marshall went in to pickup the suspect once they had him.
For all I know, this could be some high end drug dealer, but it raised a red flag in me, so I thought it was worth sharing.

#wa தீபாவளி ஸ்நானத்திற்கு தடை !!

ஹிந்துக்கள் தீபாவளி அன்று குளிக்கக் கூடாது என்று பாப்கான் என்பவர் தொடர்ந்த வழக்கை மிக மிக அவசர வழக்காக இரவோடு இரவாக விடிய விடிய விசாரித்த சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட், அதற்கு தடை விதித்து வரலாற்று சிறப்பு மிக்க தீர்ப்பை வழங்கியது.
இது பற்றி தீர்ப்பில், ஹிந்துக்கள் பண்டிகை என்பதால் தைரியமாக தடை விதிப்பதாகவும், இதன் மூலம் பல லட்சம் லிட்டர் தண்ணீர் சேமிக்கலாம் என்றும் நீதிபதிகள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர்.
இது பற்றி கருத்து கூறிய பப்பு, கங்கா ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்று கேட்பது மதவாதம் என்றும் தேம்ஸ் ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்றோ நைல் ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்றோ கேட்பது ஸெக்யுலர் என்றும் தெரிவித்தார்.

ஸ்டாலின் இது பற்றி கூறுகையில், தீபாவளி பண்டிகை என்று சொல்லி குளிப்பதை மட்டுமே தங்கள் கட்சி எதிர்ப்பதாகவும்

› back to black ‧ taekook au

the one where taehyung is a spy, jungkook is his target, and the world is their playground.
The first time Taehyung goes on a mission, it’s by complete accident.

There’s some sort of chaos outbreak at HQ, and before he knows it, Taehyung--an untrained, unpaid, unsure intern--is swept into a slick black SUV and sent off to an unknown location.
He looks around, not very optimistic at the sight of the other nervous faces in the car. When the vehicle finally stops, the doors are pulled open by a very gruff-looking man, his face streaked with blood and his arm in a rough-looking sling.
