    WHAT THE FUCK OHMYGOD?! ADULT, ARMED, MALE ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE BRUTALLY ATTACKING AND ASSAULTING A 12 YEAR OLD PALESTINIAN GIRL. WHERE IS THE CONSCIENCE? THEY HAVE GONE BEYOND CROSSING THE LINE. THIS IS SICK AND DIABOLICAL.

    It's okay to forgive people for something wrong they tweeted back in 2012 or a mistake they made in 2016. If they apologised genuinely, have shown growth, and educated themselves since, don't hold them to what they were. Not all people are resistant to change, you know?

    I think the problem with publishing right now is because writers are being forced to produce books in such inhuman speed, good writing is really hard to come by, making books and authors a lot more forgettable. Like, where are the writers taking 10 years to write a book?

    Because by constantly reminding them of that one mistake they made that got them trolled, you're reminding them of the person they used to be and tried hard later to NOT be, and it's going to have an opposite effect from what you think.

    Replying to @inthearmsofDE and @Haf_art
    Exactly, which makes the IDFโ€™s justification that itโ€™s because of the Hamas that theyโ€™re committing all these war crimes BASE-FUCKING-LESS. Theyโ€™re brutes, whoโ€™ve been committing war crimes against Palestinians for a long, long time. Itโ€™s not just because of what the Hamas did.

    Iโ€™m seeing so many reviews of adults reading YA books and complaining about it being too โ€œmetaโ€, having too many gen-z phrases, or having mentions of TikTok and current trends, and Iโ€™m justโ€ฆ? Itโ€™s a YA book set in 2024 what did you expect YOUโ€™RE not even the target audience ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    โœจDEBUT ANNOUNCEMENTโœจ After countless vague (& fake) tweets, I am thrilled to announce my YA rom-com BETTER CATCH UP, KRISHNA KUMAR will be out in 2025 with @HarperCollins/@harperteen! Can't wait for y'all to follow my desi bi pre-med MC on her chaotic road-trip across India ๐ŸŒธ
    Carolina Ortiz at HarperTeen has acquired bought world rights to Better Catch Up, Krishna Kumar by Anahita Karthik. The debut YA rom-com follows Krishna on a road trip across India to find her summertime crush after discovering he's left her the flirty text she had been dreaming of the night before she's set to return to America. Publication is scheduled for 2025; Rebecca Podos at Rees Literary Agency negotiated the deal.

    white authors writing bipoc characters: "She had skin the colour of caramel toffee. Her eyes were like two white almonds with dollops of cocoa at the centre. I wondered how it would be to run my fingers across her brown shoulderโ€”would it be like dipping them in melted chocolate?"
