BREAKING: A federal court just ruled New Hampshire’s classroom censorship law is unconstitutional. The law discouraged discussion about race, sexual orientation, disability, and gender identity in the classroom.
This is a momentous victory for students’ right to learn.
@ACLU Not sure what this private business has to do with the First Amendment.
1A protects private citizens against government retaliation over the content of their speech. It doesn't (and obviously can't) protect citizen access to private spaces.
@MJ_Bowman@askamycollins Yea, of course. If coloring inside the lines isn't getting results, what else is there to do? Radio silence admits of no obvious next step.
It's understandable that agents and editors are annoyed when authors ignore their instructions, but we should also just accept authors will continue to take desperate swings until the industry figures out how to represent us all.
You don't write if you're not already desperate.
Dear QueryManager Authors: I get that my being open to only non-fiction in Sept was discouraging to those with novels. But CHECKING THE NON-FICTION BOX AND THEN UPLOADING A NOVEL got you an instant rejection. I did NF first for a reason, not to be mean. (NOW I am open to fiction)

BREAKING: 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy sets off alarm bells as he announces that he wants Twitter owner Elon Musk to be his presidential adviser if Ramaswamy wins the nomination and is elected president — and his reasoning is downright terrifying…
Ramaswamy says that he wants Musk to be his presidential adviser “because he laid off 75% of the employees at Twitter, and then the effectiveness actually went up.”
This should strike fear in the heart of every American voter, because Elon Musk single-handedly destroyed Twitter in only 6 months by firing most of the moderators and reinstating the accounts of countless previously banned neo-nazis, white supremacists, and dangerous bigots — turning Twitter into a cesspool of far-right hatred and unhinged conspiracies that advertisers are fleeing from as fast as they can.
Now, Ramaswamy wants to hire Elon Musk to do the same thing to the United States federal government.
This dangerous extremist must NEVER be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office.
Please retweet and ❤️ to expose Vivek Ramaswamy’s dangerous plan — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
We're not going to be able to get a Sneaky Snake episode out this week, as time is needed for UK tour planning. Hopefully, this Celine picture peace offering will soothe any hard feelings
@dainserk The distinction exists. You're asking to keep a speciating word conflated with it's old meaning.
'Racism' means structural racism.
'Prejudice' and 'bigotry' both work for what you're calling 'interpersonal racism'.

@keslupo The more layers, the better. An omniscient narrator is a wasted opportunity. Transparent prose is (usually) a wasted opportunity. Give me as many overlapping frames as possible, thank you.
@annmrose There's nothing stopping us from self-publishing while querying.
One of those two processes is long and random, the other is relatively simple and iterable.
It's unsurprising that authors are getting impatient and self-publishing while querying.🤷
