    The fact that people think Romeo + Juliet = bad movie and bad take on Shakespeare shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Shakespeare and in this essay I would if I had the time because it’s one of my all time favs

    Now I have to count all the things I do in the day, including getting out of bed and brushing my teeth, and find ways to reward myself for doing them halp—but in all seriousness here goes my adventure trying to unlearn this mindset

    Also haha I was so tempted to be like I drink wine regularly does that count but decided to avoid that dragging of drinking wine cannot be the only way you relax/celebrate/praise yourself

    A thread on advance payouts! Say you have a $60k advance per book for 2 books ($120k total). You don’t receive all upfront. It’s broken into pieces, paid over years. So for this advance, let’s say it’s paid in thirds... #PublishingPaidMe

    as i learned growing up in texas, juneteenth did not mark the end of slavery everywhere. it was the day my ancestors were told they were free. it's a very important difference. but here continues the whitewashing of juneteenth.

    Great news, and long overdue for our country to have a federal holiday marking the end of slavery.
