@chriswknapp @ChantiReviews @gemmahallidayca Congrats, @chriswknapp! Very exciting news!

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@BFEditing @RachelFudge @EditorTanya YAY! You deserve more cake and less…. all the other stuff you’ve had this year ❤️

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@ACESEditors @Editrix_Rachel My kid was very impressed when I told her I knew an editor who worked on Stardew Valley!

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@querlvox Same – I'm in the south part of SF. That was crazy/scary loud.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@EditorTanya Actually, I think it's both – beurré is just more slangy and informal, from what I can tell. Like "hammered" vs "drunk". And now it makes sense to me why beurré is the slang term since it's so close to bourré.

@indiamos @HuisceBeatha @immer_en Immer looks gorgeous – I can’t wait to try it myself.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@RachelFudge It is epic! I just read it all again

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@EditorTanya Accurate!

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@EditorTanya All the pics you can stand to send us, please!!!

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@EditorTanya LOVE THIS!! So glad you are let us enjoy the win with you.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@RachelFudge You were absolutely going to be the one I messaged lol! Luckily, there aren't that many. I think I've got a handle on it now, but that first 15 minutes... WHEW.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@GrammarParty @ACESEditors I think the reality is that there is not a source tracking this! Amazon is best positioned to know and they don’t release any data except, of course, to individual authors. This article has a lot of background on the problems w trying to track ebook sales. https://t.co/WSuaFjYHR3

@LetBlackWomenL1 I don’t think teachers should have been asked to go back before vaccination. But I didn’t feel sure *even in the summer* that my kid would be back to high school in person in the FALL. & I think he could have been back in the spring if the board had prioritized that. They didn’t.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@ClaraJeffery Actual SFUSD parent here and I think this is spot on. I support the school name change effort and addressing the systemic inequalities but I wanted getting kids back in school to be the priority. That was not this board’s priority and they made the budget shortfall worse.

@EditorTanya @lepoole @NikkiBuschEdit @EFAFreelancers @nkjemisin I am analyzing City We Became this month on my blog! Except in the first post I only got as far as the epilogue lol. Can’t wait to dive in further though. It’s even better than I remembered.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@sheofsea @ACESEditors Totally get it and also hate it.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@RedPenRabbit Same. I’m behaving as if January is months rather than weeks away. It makes no logical sense.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@CarolinaMarie_V @TextExpander Ugh! I can say that once you purchase you don’t get messages like these. I love @TextExpander but if I had gotten messages like these during the trial period I would have been out. Please be better. You have a good product – don’t be sleazy.

[Kristen Tate @kristentate.bsky.social @KristenTateSF]

@sheofsea So sorry! Sending you hugs
