If you enjoyed a book, and you want to see it succeed, tell the world. Proselytize. Be ambassadors for art.

Thread. When I a kid, I loved making maps of imaginary worlds. It's not that I wanted to be a cartographer. It's that I wanted to fill in that new world with people and adventures. https://t.co/GN1xDf8dvS

If black voters are who we depend on in the clutch to pull us over the finish line in tough races like Alabama and Virginia..
Why would it make any sense to nominate Bernie, who lost our group by 60%?

Me, talking a writer down from imposter syndrome: How long have you been writing?
— Mary Robinette Kowal (@MaryRobinette) January 24, 2018
Them: Three years.
Me: And how old are you?
Them: 28.
Me: Okay. So you're a level 28 human and a level 3 writer. How good were you as a level 3 human?
Them: Ooooooooh.
Good Advise for Artists:

-Be confident in your creations no matter what other people say
-Eat only the best paint
-Kill other artists to absorb their liquid
-If someone asks for a free commision, blow your silver whistle IMMEDIATELY. It will summon "the great ones"
-Practice
Twitter should change its name to "people choosing to die on strange hills" https://t.co/xdbglsu7q7

"No sitting senator has ever given birth" is a pretty good one-line explanation for our nation's parental leave and childcare policies.

I'm listening to sentencing in the Nassar case. The prosecutor, referring to how this case came to be, just said: "Thank god we had those journalists." That's a reference to the incredible work by @indystar , which helped bring these horrific crimes to light. #journalismmatters

It's totally fine to not like something or even criticize it. But if you burst into a thread where people are talking about liking a thing with how much you hate it, well, that's also kind of weird.

Brian Aldiss on #spaceopera: "Science Fiction is a big muscular horny creature, with a mass of bristling antennae and proprioceptors on its skull. It has a small sister, a gentle creature with red lips and a dash of stardust in her hair. Her name is Space Opera."

If you really wanted to rank news outlets by credibility and reliability there are many better ways to do it than ask 2 billion people. HOWEVER if you want to collect personal data from 2 bn people about media preferences to sell to advertisers......#facebook

- my friends are funny so i never edit them
- you didn't know how X worked, now you do
- how much personal trauma will people reveal into a mic? lots
- murder exists
I think some folks forget that the concept of being friends with people you disagree with should be reserved solely for shit that doesn't matter, like comic books and pizza toppings, not What Genders Are Real or Which Races Are Good

So you know all those emoji and punctuation marks in your Twitter names get read aloud by screen readers, right? If it takes me longer to hear your Twitter name than to read your tweet? I scroll right on by. Please remember this when adding lots of emoji to things. Thanks.
