Hi John, congratulations on the book! Feel free to ignore this dumb ask, but my partner and I have been debating over dinner about this - how long does it take you to sign 100,000 books?

It will take about 220 hours in total.

I can sign about 600 times an hour, but I need to take breaks for my elbow and shoulder at this point, which slows me down a little. It also takes some time to straighten and pack up all the pages and open new boxes and reach for more sheets and all that stuff.

220 hours is a long time, but also what the hell else am I going to do with my time? I like signing. I like the idea that a page I touched will be in your copy of the book. I know what signed books meant to me when I was younger. So it is a little way that I can hopefully make someone's book and reading experience more valuable. And hopefully it also shows gratitude to those who believe in my work enough to preorder something.

In short, it is not the worst way I've ever spent 220 hours. You can preorder a signed copy of Everything Is Tuberculosis wherever books are sold.

#Amazon should work #but I may not be right #i hope this works for you

Not to sound like a person who actually cares about children, but it's so alarming that there's this tendency and trend of not telling kids about their medical conditions that are in their charts.

I'm finding out as an adult that they (though it's not documented who) diagnosed me with a life-long, chronic condition without telling me when I was a teenager. I found out recently when I got curious about my medical charts, and otherwise, I would not have known what's wrong with me. I've been left with more questions than answers, and I feel like a private investigator investigating my own damn health and life.

Is this medical malpractice? Yes. However, I think it also speaks to a broader point of how children are seen to not be entitled to their own lives in any capacity, to the point where they are (intentionally or not) made ignorant about things that are or will affect them.

#youth liberation #politics #it is looking like i may indeed have this condition and it was diagnosed YEARS ago and wasn't treated. i am not too thrilled right now #i am honestly angry and devastated because my life was made SO much worse and i could have received HELP before it got bad

You're just not toxic enough.

#the apothecary diaries #maomao #jinshi #When she loves poison as much as she does...this really isn't as big of an insult as it may seem.#'I'd rather poison myself' from a girl who genuinely wants to eat the poison? Not bad!#This was a thank you gift for a friend who helped me out of a tough situation. I hope you enjoy this!#I am so sorry I still haven't finished season one yet. I promise I'll get to it eventually.#Maomao is a really fun protagonist and as a mystery lover - the detective plots she finds herself in are very enjoyable.#Even if she doesn't want to be part of them. Girl who just wants to mind her own business but keeps getting hired to snoop around.#Jinshi is a great character in his own right. He is also a wet little clown that I want to wring out and leave in the sun to dry.#Man...now I want to finish season one...I miss them...

yesterday I went to a little meeting at my local queer community center and I was admiring their bookshelves and mentioned that I work at the public library and someone said "well I bet they don't have any [LGBTQ+ books] at our library" and I was like um. yes we do. we have tons of them. half of our employees are queer leftists so they said "oh well I bet they don't in [nearby rural county]" and I was like uh once again yes they absolutely do. gay people live and work there as well

so here's a quick reminder that if you don't think your local library has enough queer centered materials you should actually check before assuming, and if you're not satisfied with their collection you should submit a request for more such books. I don't know what the political landscape of libraries looks like outside the us rn, but within the us no matter where you are, I promise you there are employees at your library fighting for inclusion and intellectual freedom and they can't win without vocal public support

#literally maddening thing to hear #we were fucking at pride this year #i know missouri is a hell hole but there are people working really fucking hard to make it better and we could use some support here #just fucking go to your local libraries website right now literally right this second #and look around #you may be shocked at the stuff you discover there

the whole trojan war could have been avoided if paris just. ate the apple in one comically large bite. athena, hera, and aphrodite would have been stunned into silence.

#and yes they may have all smited paris together after that but oh well #paris of troy #tagamemnon #i never know if i’m using that tag right #iliad #the trojan war #also i’m aware zeus would’ve killed a ton of people one way or another this is just a silly joke lol

i wanted to try drawing older Mabel and Dipper !

#gravity falls #mabel pines #dipper pines #artists on tumblr #tbob #not gonna lie im not too sold on these designs so i may change things later if i ever wanna draw them again #i was looking at their old character designs and concept art for inspiration #mabel lowkey looks like a fashion mess but! i think its in character so whatevvsss #also firm believer that they both have glasses. mabel doesnt wear contacts bc she likes fun frames + contacts are too uncomfortable for her #dipper doesnt wear contacts because hes too busy for contacts and he can never put them in right #also took some insp from kristen schaal. alex hirsch. ariel hirsch. jason ritter for them too #also. i know dipper is shown to be a STEM-y kid but i firmly am a believer hes a STEM enjoyer in the service of art. like the fanfiction #writer thats studies physics or chemistry to get a certain detail right or something. or the entire futurama writers room lol #like i do think he wants to make documentaries or shows abt the supernatural or whatever #and mabel helps out with the adventuring :)#kind of like buzzfeed unsolved in the golden era of youtube #turtlearts

I saw this on FB today and I wanna try and express something about it. Like, you know the curbcutter effect? Where when curbcuts are put in it benefits everyone (bicyclists, people with baby strollers etc) and not just disabled people?

There is also whatever the opposite of the curbcutter effect is. And this is that.

This isn't just anti-adhd/autism propaganda... this is anti-child propaganda.

Kids have developmentally appropriate ways that they need to move their bodies and express themselves and sitting perfectly still staring straight ahead is not natural or good for ANY CHILD.

Don't get me wrong, I was punished unduly as a kid for being neurodivergent (and other types of kid will ALSO be punished unduly for it... Black kids come to mind) and thus UNABLE to perform this -- but even the kids who ARE able to perform this type of behavior are not SERVED WELL by it. They don't benefit from it.

This is bad for everyone.

The idea that bc some kids may be capable of complying with unfair expectations, those expectations don't hurt them... is a dangerous idea. Compliance isn't thriving. Expectation of compliance isn't fair treatment.

#theres a lot of things lately that make me think of this where #people will act like theres this class of people not harmed by something #(laws undermining bodily autonomy come to mind!!!!!)#and its like -- no. the consequences will be worse for some people #but no one is ultimately served by the erosion of bodily autonomy like there is not a class of people who benefit from that #same with lack of right to privacy #there isnt a DEMOGRAPHIC of people who benefit from certain things #there are systems that do. and there may be a handful of individuals who benefit partially or FOR NOW #until those systems are turned against them #i think its important to remind people in certain privileged demographics that like #certain things do benefit them #and others DON'T #you may suffer less statistically but it doesnt benefit you!#its BAD SOCIETALLY.

i love u characters who are victims who don't show things in a way that's appealing i love u characters whos trauma leaves them with anger issues, with violence issues, with issues with connection and trust and being truthful i love you characters who don't get "better" in a way that's palatable, who don't find growth and meaning in their trauma

#who is this about you may ask?#there are many such cases but right now the big two are dean winchester and astarion ancunin #though i could strongly argue that lestat de lioncourt also falls heavily into this category
