My surname is Stone and my chosen name is Bear and there is a slight flaw in my character. Storyteller, speaker to silicon, Geek-to-English 'terp, in the greasy underbelly of the music biz for profit and fun. GQ, ND, filker, cat person. Guerrierus, Alphabet Mafia. Vaxxed and masking. Fix the world, one bit at a time.

Fairly private bear: follow requests required. NO BOTS.

@bookstodon Just out of curiosity, how close are you to your reading goal for the year? I need to read 12 more books to meet the goal I set for myself. 📚📚📚📚

Not everyone works the same way, of course. We've discussed before that reading goals are counterproductive for many. Having a goal really helps me, but it doesn't work for everyone. Just like reading for pleasure and reading to write a review are very different processes.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon it's been so long since I read long-form on the regular (because of *gestures at the whole world around us) BUT I AM READING MORE of late... I reread the last sixth of an old favourite and the first eight chapters of its sequel last night...

It's funny, so many people (including a younger me) dive into books to feel safe... I get the feeling that I have to feel safe and loved to ignore the rest of the world for that long.

At least things are trending well...

So here's a thing y'all...

I don't talk about this much because I suck at promoting myself, but for those of you who weren't aware, I published some books. Three of them are a fantasy trilogy still available via Carina Press, under the pen name of Angela Highland. The other two are books 1 and 2 of an urban fantasy series, self-published under my actual name, Angela Korra'ti.

And since I continue to be unemployed AF right now, if I could make anything at all off of sales to new readers, that'd sure be super helpful right now.

So this is a promo thread about my books.

@annathepiper tagging @bookstodon for better reach... to that audience: Anna is a very addictive storyteller, and I wait with 'bated breath for at least two more novels from her, one of which I had the honour of beta reading... a feast for the eyes after all that turkey.

Tell me a good book you’ve read this year that you’d recommend.

I’ll start: Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom

@Likewise @bookstodon
John Scalzi's Starter Villain. It's the book equivalent of a popcorn flick, but it's also up to Scalzi's usual standard of excellence. And the cats ... :smiling_angel_devil:

More than 20 comrades have dropped out of my groups, both paid & free over the past 2 days for the express reason that I speak out agaisnt antisemitism, denounce murder. and want peace for Palestinians and Israelis.

Some for the express reason that I’m a “killer” and “white supremacist”

Many of you follow me for a long time and have met me and worked with me.

I often speak about antisemitism in our community. No, opposing the Israeli occupation isn’t antisemitism. I oppose it. Daily and my entire life.

This isn’t the question. This is about using antisemitic tropes and illogical standards. This is about bigotry towards Jewish people and Israelis as humans.

I won’t shut up. If you think my words are sullied and dirty and immoral because I am a JEW and an ISRAELI, if you think because of that I am not a valuable human, and if you haven’t unfollowed or dropped out yet, GO AHEAD NOW and drop out. I don’t need bigots in my spaces or world.

This heathern shobbos goy stands with you, note for note. Because they know damn well that when they come for you, I'm next. And because it's the right thing to do. Let's HEAL the world, not tear it apart. That means stopping the injustice. All of it.

Atrocity is atrocity. If you(plurally and generally) aren't willing to hold that standard, you can kindly step off the planet.
