@brackenmacleod.bsky.socialI took me a minute to get into this one because of the tone, but you're right, it's an excellent craft book that uses humor and cringe super well to sell the points it does. It's in my top five. (I wonder if I actually have 5 craft books I'd recommend.)

@penamerica.bsky.socialReposted by @brackenmacleod.bsky.socialNEW: PEN America today reported nearly 12,000 book bans in public schools nationwide during the 2025-2026 school year—the largest number in a single year.
New state censorship laws accounted for much of the increase, coupled with the use of AI to remove books en masse: pen.org/press-releas...

@brackenmacleod.bsky.socialPotential short story title: "There's No Buttfuckin' on Sunday." I don't know, just spitballing.
@jametc.bsky.socialReposted by @brackenmacleod.bsky.socialA lot of guys I'm seeing are mentioing that they aren't saying anything because they're afraid to come off as "performative". Guys, please be performative. Please be cringe about it. That fear you have to look bad is the same fear that shut the 50 other group chat members up. Say something
