@stephcampisi.bsky.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comAhh! Booksellers and librarians, Broomsticklers is up on Edelweiss!! This is the first in a highly illustrated early MG series, and I hope you love it as much as I do :)
@terriwindling.bsky.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comA short but lovely piece by the editor-in-chief of Foreward Reviews:
@runwithskizzers.bsky.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comAgree. And honestly, imo, the most effective thing is their top-selling authors deciding to take a very public stand and refuse to work with them until changes are made.
@sesmith.lolReposted by @shvetathakrar.comJust a reminder that when you boycott publishers because you are mad at them it primarily punishes the people who are published with them and has little impact on their bottom line. (This does not apply in union contexts where workers are asking people to not cross a picket.)
@shvetathakrar.comI said that to one of the people boycotting and was told, "Too bad." Thanks, I guess?
@riachia93.bsky.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comI think it’s more than a little suspicious how non-South Asians have virtually ignored the seismic protest movements in South Asia.

@shvetathakrar.comRight? Letting people enjoy things is not at odds with delving thoughtfully into said things. Just the opposite, actually.
@shvetathakrar.comOne of my favorite movies.
@letterboxd.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comTo mark the twentieth anniversary and new 4K theatrical re-release of the mythical Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro tells Dan Mecca about the deep magic and great pain of his beloved film, which he explains “almost killed me.” https://boxd.it/3pG

@mrmetacognition.bsky.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comWhenever I worry about how many copies of my books I sell, this will continue to re-assure me that I am, in fact, doing okay!
@stephcampisi.bsky.socialReposted by @shvetathakrar.comI know things are Bad. But every time I get a chance to hang out and chat with people, I'm always reminded that most people are lovely and our communities are our strength.
@shvetathakrar.comTagging @leannareneehieber.bsky.social so she sees this! (Obviously she would completely agree.)
@shvetathakrar.comThank you for this! I've been advocating for that ever since I started writing professionally. We do ourselves--and the world--a huge disservice by ignoring huge swathes of our ancestral stories. Plus they're just so fun!
