I know a lot of people think they're ineffective as a result, that you don't win with big happy protest events, but I think it's actually really important for people who feel lost and alone with everything that's happening to this country to be able to go and see that they aren't alone at all

Yeah, I’ve almost gone off the word “cozy” because of how its meaning has shifted lately (which is sad as a person who really enjoys being cozy!) I do think her books can feel cozy in a sense, but it’s such a wildly different vibe from what the book community means now when they use that word.

DWJ was sharp and clever and dark and droll and acerbic and often convoluted. But “cozy,” in the way of today’s cozy-fantasy trend (a trend, honestly, that I usually find painfully twee)? Not once.

I really dislike people trying to make money by invoking her name in places it does not belong.
