"Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original, this novel pulls readers into a horrific world of murder and cannibalism while also critiquing misogyny, exploring Asian fetishization and stereotypes, sharing what it’s like to navigate two cultures and telling a touching story of a family in turmoil."

"Monika Kim’s THE EYES ARE THE BEST PART is an outstanding debut, a feminist horror novel that tackles big social issues and also delivers the gory origin story of a female serial killer." #ErewhonBooks

A conversation on our Discord has prompted me to say again: remember, y'all, what really sells books is not the author talking about their work, but *readers* talking about it. Word of mouth drives far more sales than advertising or any other engine. So if you loved a book, tell your friends!

If this small press fully funds, you get more cool books worldwide by way of Detroit. Scifi, fantasy, memoir, life. Trust me, you want that.

I read THE POMEGRANATE GATE by Ariel Kaplan, this week, and it's fabulous. And then, I made the mistake of looking at GR reviews, which have a decent bit of people complaining that it's just another book with the Fae. And like, hello, do they not realize how Jewish the book is??? 1/

Jesus, Clarence Thomas in his concurrence today called Brown v Board of Education “an extravagant use of judicial power” in which “the Court took a boundless view of equitable remedies.” Brown v Board was a unanimous 9-0 ruling. Dude is too extreme for the fucking 1950s.

Google built an “AI Answers” feature that literally just scrapes web pages which seem vaguely related and then rewords them slightly to disguise the source. That’s all it does. Plagiarism at scale, and with no understanding of the underlying applicability of the information. Worse than useless.

Taxpayers pay hundreds of millions of dollars each year for police settlements because of qualified immunity. Last year, NYPD settlements cost taxpayers $115 million. This year, NYC had to cut $58.3 million in funding from public libraries.

My op-ed for The Hill on the Antisemitism Awareness Act. There are many horrible things about the proposed act: it would silence Palestinians; it wld violate academic freedom & 1st Amend. It wld also ban the teaching of huge swaths of left-wing Jewish history

Prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, it killed more than 400 Americans per year, with children being the most vulnerable. Due to childhood vaccination, deaths from measles were nearly entirely eliminated in the US in the 1990s. The rise in antivax rhetoric is killing children.

As a historical fiction writer, I have a lot of (evolving!) thoughts about this, so I'm going to do a little thread. I have been using DuckDuckGo and Brave in addition to Google, but so far, I have to say, they all kind of suck, just in different ways. There's nothing now like Golden Age Google. 1/

They would need at least $3000 to help train new medics, including supplies, travel costs and accessibility needs.
You can also DM their Insta if you'd like another way to donate.

...when only several years before, a conspiracy theory ran amok on the streets of a small Southern town, and we knew how to call it out for what it is. So, if you are able, I'm raising money to donate toward their medical training and support for my birthday. You can Venmo them at @cvillemedics. 6/

It is very interesting to me that you can express discontent with Democrats and have people instantly read that as you saying “I’m not voting.” You don’t need to love someone to cast a vote. You can hate their fucking guts and vote.
