"This is a cool scene in which he talks about how Bella’s sweet blood is making him want to murder her right here, in front of everyone. And had he known that her blood existed, he would’ve found her and murdered her *ages ago*."

#MidnightSun Chapter 1: snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"Edward starts focusing on how much he hates Bella for existing and being desirable to him, which helps take the edge off of wanting to kill her. Gotta love when your misogyny helps keep your murderous desires at bay, I guess."

#MidnightSun Chapter 1: snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"Ms. Cope has to repeat “too young” in her head to keep it appropriate. “Wrong,” Edward thinks. “I was older than her grandfather.” It’s true! He is older than her grandfather! And yet he’s still going to date a child. Here we are."

"Edward has not once said that he wants to kill Bella less. His main objection has been MOVING after killing her. So to come back and be like "gotta change her mind about me!" It's 100% gaslighting."

#MidnightSun Ch. 2:

Honestly, what’s the worst that could happen? We have a pretty concrete answer to that: Edward eats Bella and slaughters 18 children and 1 science teacher of medium intellect. But sure, Ed. Go ahead to science class.

"Girls who don't know they're beautiful that's what makes them beautiful oh-oh, deserve to live. Girls who know their own self-worth can die. If Bella had listened to even one Beyonce song this book would have been much shorter."

"Stephenie Meyer is trying to sell us on the Cullen-Hales as the good vamps because they don’t take human life while also showing us in great detail that they have absolutely no regard for human life."

#MidnightSun Ch. 3

"Emmett think-tells Edward that he’ll smooth out it better later, even though all of his siblings are pissed at him for interfering and preventing a child’s death. Missed these guys."

#MidnightSun Ch. 3
snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"Edward assures us that even if Alice didn’t have this plot hole vision, he would’ve totally been able to judge the trajectory of the van all by himself. That explanation was 100% definitely not worth the wait, thanks Stephenie!"

#MidnightSun Ch. 3

"The gall of this serial killer to throw back in Rosalie’s face that she killed her rapists. And then to wish she would just shut up forever. He is the legitimate WORST."

#MidnightSun Ch. 4

"Murder because Bella smells like food is apparently totally fine, but murder because she might be a gossip is a huge no-no."

#MidnightSun Ch. 4

K: But the worst vision of all is the one where his eyes are red and he’s drained Bella’s body dry. It’s the worst thing he’s ever seen.

C: Wait till he sees what he does to her uterus.

By being in Edward’s thoughts, we are going to have an all-consuming-love-dick measuring contest of sorts. This is Edward’s one-up. We signed up for Love Makes You Miserable: The Sequel.

Things that no one besides him seemed to see. He means that figuratively, considering the only reason he was seeing these things is because he was hijacking other people’s thoughts and riding piggy back so he could spy on Bella. <3

“I’d been fighting to keep her alive since the first moment I’d caught her scent.” That’s a romanticized interpretation of what's happening. The only reason she would be unalive, previous to the van, is because you murdered her.

#MidnightSun Ch 5

Eric finds her first, and Edward has a moment of doubt, wondering if this “gangly teen with his unhealthy skin was somehow pleasing” to Bella. Your mouth is full of venom half the day Edward, so kindly fuck all the way off.

#MidnightSun Ch. 5
snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
Edward’s entire perspective is basically just a Magic 8-Ball with murder.

#MidnightSun Ch. 5

"Sir, you were not invited. You may not comment on the headspace you are entering without consent."

#MidnightSun Ch. 6

"I’m glad we’re all confused by Edward’s random murder rules. If any of you understood his random murder rules, I would start questioning you, a lot."

#MidnightSun Ch. 6
snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"Edward's frustrated by how fragile humans are, which is cute from the guy who spends all of his time thinking about whether or not he’s going to kill random kids."

#MidnightSun Ch. 6
snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"There is something really nefarious about Edward being absolutely unable to tell if Bella is into him or scared for her life."

#MidnightSun Ch. 7
snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"I’m trying to get into Edward's mindset by picturing a person made out of my favorite food, macaroni and cheese, that I, for some reason, also want to fuck. It’s not working. But I am trying."

#MidnightSun Ch. 7
snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"Edward says that Rosalie’s jealousy is 1000xs more petty than his. Which. My dude. You’re jealous over a bunch of 17-year olds and you’re a billion years old with a bunch of masters degrees. You LITERALLY live in a glass house. Maybe save those stones."

snarksquad.com/2020/08/midnig…
"Every time Edward acknowledges that he’s the worst, but then just keeps worsting anyway, I die a little more on the inside."

#MidnightSun, Ch. 08

M: You mean to tell me Edward is getting fang boners and venom jizzing all in his mouth, and he’s like “at least I’m not Mike?”
C: No, you don’t understand, Mike was only interested in her BOOBS. See, Edward is interested in her HEMOGLOBIN.

After spending the last two weeks talking to employees about how they are holding up during pandemic work, petition for managers to stop commenting on employee's facial expressions, especially on Zoom.
If your concern, in this economy, with the world on fire, is that your employee put effort into maintaining a pleasant expression, you don't have your employee in mind. And you don't have productivity in mind, because with limited reserves ANYWAY, that energy could go to WORK.
And let me tell you that all of the many complaints I got from people about their managers policing their faces were from WOMEN because this "feedback" tends to be incredibly gendered. 😬

I had to travel for work and now I have a three hour ride back home. I’m very tired and stressed so there is only one thing to do: Read Kissing the Coronavirus.
Obviously the real uncomfy thing here is the eroticizing and romanticizing of an, um, deadly virus which has claimed many lives. Page 1 goes “the virus is like a devastating penis, yeah that’s the ticket.” #kissingthecoronasnark Image
I’ve thought about the devastation of the coronavirus a lot, you know, but never came close to comparing it to a pulsating, erect penis so maybe I’m doing better than I thought. #kissingthecoronasnark

I'm in the middle of a massive unhaul project so I've been thinking about consumerism in BookTube a heck of a lot lately. This is a topic that cycles around in the community and for good reason: how we acquire books is a big part of what we do.

bit.ly/3m7bzEU
As with most things we hot take on Twitter, there is so much nuance here and it's not as simple as "it's my money nobody judge me" or "buying books is awful how could you."
Everyone has to decide how to curate their own collection and how they spend their limited resources, but we also can't entirely divorce the role of BookTube and community norms from that. It's a worthwhile conversation.

It's never that you aren't allowed to dislike books from non-white authors, but that as reviewers-- especially ones who, you know, care-- it's your responsibility to unpack the language you use to review and the biases you bring to a work.
Yes, you are allowed to not like work by non-white authors, but if everything you didn't like about it is everything that doesn't center you, like maybe sit with that for a moment.
I haven't even read The Poppy War, but this isn't just a case of one person (who apologized!) calling one book boring; It's the feedback POC get about their work all the damn time: no one is interested, there is no market, consumers won't see themselves here, it's boring.

Every so often, as I work on @BookNetFest things, I just get really proud of @thoughtsontomes and myself. I'm always amazed that the wild idea I had while sitting on the floor of a hotel room, the idea Sam immediately said yes to, became this event.
@thoughtsontomes In my experience, the book community has a tendency to be better at co-opting ideas than supporting what already exists, especially if made by smaller or marginalized creators. I'm infinitely grateful to everyone who has supported @BookNetFest along the way.
@thoughtsontomes Every year, there's this sense of "can we do it one more time?" Every year, we magic together the best event we can with a tiny budget, big dreams, and quality volunteers. Truly, thank you because it still feels like I'm shouting my wild idea and now a bunch of you say YES.

When something happens in the book community, when someone messes up, we are generally quick to acknowledge that it's a conversation we should have, but then rarely get around to having said conversation.
Things in the book community, especially on Twitter, flare up quickly and then die down just as quickly. It bothers me that part of this is because of the way that these conversations are policed.
It's a pattern. People are upset, talk about why, make connections to larger ideas, but we can rarely follow these things all the way through because the conversation is often overtaken by conversations about having conversations.
