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.

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.

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

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.

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

I know WFA is too OOC for some people, but I need that shit right now.

I do love seeing the Batfam beating the shit out of each other. I like how messy their relationships are and I have always loved flawed characters.

But idk, man, Batman #138 just really crossed a line for me and I need a reminder that there are other depictions of Bruce that aren't so fucking heinous.

I'll take this shit:

Over this shit:

Any. Fucking. Day.

so far for the people who aren't watching the lore stream:

I'M SORRY MR LITTLEWOOD? THOUSANDS OF LIFE SERIES HAVE TAKEN PLACE???

the canary curse was NOT AN ACUTAL MYTHICAL CURSE.

there are still no Listener players

Martyn (character)'s new scar is at the top of his ear

The Watchers and Listeners are fighting more than before, with the Listeners finally gaining ground

Zombie-Martyn wasn't aware of himself or what was going on

Martren was a form of torture used by the Watchers to ruin something "that he held dear, that was so important to him" (it was Martyn. Martyn was the most important thing)

there is a tier-list of Watchers on their council, some with more power than the others

Martyn doesn't know about Scar's lore a (regarding Trader Scar's), but Scar was going mad by himself until the Watchers sent him back to the endless void

the Watchers still don't like Scott

the Watchers can project sight or hallucinations

Impulse has gotten so close to winning each time that he's going mad about it

(will update as the stream goes on)

Bug Fact: Chitin is the key structural component of all arthropod exoskeletons. It can be as flexible as a wing or as hard as a clam shell.
