Let us resume our long, slow thread of Toby. THE WINTER LONG was the end of act one, and that gives us a good place to pause and read some short fiction. Lots of things that were formerly full of spoilers are no longer!
"Forbid the Sea" should be read after "Rat-Catcher," and focuses on Tybalt's first serious relationship, a long time ago in Londinium. CW: death of a major character.
"Heaps of Pearl" shows us the moment where Patrick Twycross met Dianda Lorden, and a messy, glorious love story began. The follow-up, "Shore to Shore," continues their courtship. The first two are available free from my website, "Shore to Shore" is available through my Patreon.
(A surprising amount of the Toby short fiction is straight-up romance, largely because the main series moves too fast for it so much of the time.)

MIDDLEGAME! It's almost here! I feel like I'm beating this drum a LOT right now, but I really, really, REALLY want to write SEASONAL FEARS, so please pre-order MIDDLEGAME (any edition) and help me make the argument to my editors.
This is the book Library Journal calls "McGuire's strong narrative voice and vivid worldbuilding persist, as does a kind of magical understanding of a child's power and vulnerability."
Booklist says "In an ambitious piece of world building from a master of the craft," and Publishers Weekly says "This is a fascinating novel by an author of consummate skill."

I would really, really like it if reviews of THE SILENCE would stop beating the chronologically inaccurate drum of "It's a rip-off of A QUIET PLACE." There were plenty of things in this movie to complain about! Complain about real stuff, not stuff you decided!
Yes, I would say there's a good chance the movie of THE SILENCE got greenlit because A QUIET PLACE made money. But since Tim Lebbon didn't write A QUIET PLACE, he didn't get any of that money. Let the man get paid for work he did before A QUIET PLACE ever existed, okay?
If FEED ever becomes a movie, I fully expect to be accused of ripping off zombie properties that were created after Newsflesh was published. That's fine, as long as the check clears.

The Great Lovecraft Re-Read has noticed the Fighting Pumpkins! tor.com/2019/04/10/tak…
The Fighting Pumpkins have always been working their way toward the eldritch horrors outside the scope of the cosmos.
Or at least, they have since we've started having a recurring squad. Their earliest appearances were reliably total party kills.

15 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Charles Dickens.
#Thread 👇👇👇
@noveliciouss

Charles Dickens was the greatest novelist of the Victorian period, utterly dedicating himself to his work and creating some of the most distinguished fiction in literary history.
Poor social and bleak economic circumstances are oft referred to in the modern era as being “Dickensian” in nature and the subjects and narratives of Dickens’s books would suggest a serially sombre author who probably isn’t much fun on a night out.
Not so.
This list alone paints Charles Dickens as not only a man of great authority, talent and wisdom, but also a more amusing character down the pub than you would give him credit for. At least part of number 8 does.

Vous avez beaucoup entendu parler des *actifs toxiques* durant la crise de 2008 (c’était des *Mortgage-Backed Securities*) et vous n’allez sans doute pas tarder à en entendre parler encore (et cette fois-ci, je pense que ce sera des *Collateralized Loan Obligations*). #Thread
(NB : encore une fois, je simplifie au maximum et ça risque d’être un peu long pour expliquer ça à tout le monde. Si vous êtes sages, je vous mets un extrait de The Big Short à la fin.)
À la base, toutes ces petites choses-là fonctionnent sur le même principe : ce sont des titrisations financées par plusieurs *tranches* de dette qui ont chacune leur caractéristiques de rendement (et donc de risque) propres. Une petite explication s’impose.

Good morning Twitter friends. I’m still in bed sick, but possibly on the mend at last after 4 days. Last night @tropigalia & @laura_luna asked me to do a #thread on the devaluing & misrecognition of #femme relationships so here we go.
First, if you don’t know what femme is, read this, this thread will still be here: bustle.com/articles/16608…
So to be clear, femme is a queer gender expression not tied to sex or gender identity. Femme is also not exclusively about appearance, but this thread will emphasize appearance bc I’m going to talk about the way femme relationships are read, thus based on visual cues.

Years ago, someone asked me if I would edit her CV. Because your girl's always hustling, I said yes and quickly taught myself about what recruiters want to see in a #Resume. Since then, #CVEditing has become something I do regularly. Here's a thread on a few things I've learnt.
People will tell you not to make the basic errors - spelling mistakes, hard-to-read fonts, inaccurate info, etc. But the problem I see most often is that people's CVs don't reflect who they are. Your CV should be who you are and what you offer an employer, on paper.
Instead, people take the CV format they were taught in school and just fill in the blanks. They list "responsibilities" rather than focusing on the value they add to the workplace. Your CV needs to make you stand out from the rest of the candidates for a job you're targeting.

Applying for Jobs in Canada from Nigeria...
Some tips to follow!
@DrJoeAbah @yinkanubi @ogundamisi @akinalabi @Omojuwa @_MrDewa @Riddwane @Adeola0503

#Thread
Applying for jobs in Canada from Nigeria may seem a little daunting a task but you must keep applying and applying for any available job openings. The more your resume resembles what Canadian employers are looking for, the more you are likely to get their attention.
When applying for a Canadian Job, you need to adopt resume and not C.V style. Some sites you could consider are indeed.ca, monster.ca, eluta.ca. Glassdoor.ca, LinkedIn and wowjobs.ca The last 2 are my best options
