this was my approach in my early 20s; i had no resources, so reviewing, interviewing, hosting readings etc allowed me fresh material (review/media copies) of new books constantly, with the bonus that i was providing essential service to writing and writers on a ground level,
My genuine advice to people who want new releases fresh from the oven is become a reviewer and get arcs. Then you get to be ahead of everybody.
You do kinda have to get along with authors for this to work the best that it can tho.

stg I feel like I'm having a stroke with this app, I gotta put Freedom back up and pretend it doesn't exist.
Is this a thing? Do people need to all engage with the same entertainment at the same time?

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Wait uh if you watch through to the end of the clip THEY TRIED TO BUY TACOS FROM A SHOP WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY KIDNAPPED A WORKER, WHO IS STILL DETAINED
I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.
F that!

It just feels like everything is being flattened. Rape, genocide, wildfires, etc etc is all just fodder for internet discourse rather than turning points that lead to… something, anything better or different.
It’s so true. It’s actually horrifying to see the memes and jokes about this.

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed
I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

This story is a great one to teach as an example of how to build emotional resonance by making excellent use of restraint. It’s a multi-layered story that satisfies on so many levels.
