Publishing Post: One year in my new role

It's been a while, but I'm back! It's been well over a year since I started my new marketing role, so I thought I'd let you know how it's been going. #WorkinPublishing #JobsinBooks

Hi, hello, bore da, it’s been a while since I’ve written about my place in the whole publishing industry; but I thought since it’s been a whole year since I started working for a publishing house in Bristol I better let you know how I’ve been doing. When I started looking for my new role I knew that I wanted to do something a bit different, I wanted to move away from a traditional publishing…

This show has been a rollercoaster of expectations

Gonna be real, capitalism exploiting the shit out of the divine in The Silt Verses is like my favorite worldbuilding choice ever.

having sally yell at baby percy feels so fundamentally wrong. i didn't mind when she got frustrated with him in the pool because that was just one instance of sally losing her temper but now it's like oh. this is just how the show version of her is.

like. idk. one of sally's defining traits was that she never got mad at percy. that didn't mean she was weak. that was her strength. that she could pull through tough times by putting a smile on her face, so that she didn't scare percy, so that she could protect him.

i just feel like it would have been a much more well-defined scene if we got to see how sally manages to talk percy out of the car by. being nice?? coaxing him??? explaining the situation in a way he would understand instead of just saying "there are things i have to do that you don't understand" (if you say that to a kid they are 100% not going to listen to you bc. yeah they don't understand!! so you have to explain it in a way they WOULD understand!!)

if sally had already been dating smelly gabe at this point, she could have leveraged this. she could have put a funny spin on it and said "i'm just trying to get you away from smelly gabe's stinky gym shorts." if she wanted baby percy to not feel like she was abandoning him and separating him from the rest of society, she could have said "the kids in there are just like you." she could have given him a keepsake, to show she will always be with him. there are SO many ways the writers could have spun this and they just didn't. they went the easy way out.

all of these flashback scenes are painting a very unfortunate picture that percy didn't actually have a good relationship with his mom. and i know that's not the vibe the show is trying to go for, but they've got to understand!! that not everyone who's watched the show has the read the books! we don't all automatically know that sally and percy have the bestest mother-son relationship ever! if you only show sally being frustrated at baby percy, we start to think oh dang, maybe this whole time percy doesn't actually have a good relationship with his mom!

“I agree with Biden that Congress shouldn’t trade stocks, but should be across all 3 branches. I wrote a bill to ban Pres, VP, Cabinet, senior officials, Congress, Supreme Court Justices and federal judges from both owning and trading individual stocks. One single standard.”

How many people in federal-level politics are millionaires? It’s all a scam, even if you aren’t participating in it. Dark money, very little accountability, PACs, the ability to trade in securities that your own vote can affect. It’s all a scam. I don’t care if you are doing the right thing by your voters as a politician. You’re letting it happen, and it’s a known, visible scam. Fix it.

incredibly inspired choice of me to drop all social media apart from tumblr, reddit and letterboxd this year.....'have you seen this tiktok trend' no. 'did you see people on twitter are being awful about-' no. 'i hate instagram reels because-' can't relate! because i don't see them

feels so good being the person in charge of deciding whether our organization will use AI or not. I'm going to write an argument so strong... no we will not waste an ounce of our time and energy on what's essentially a bubble the IT industry Really wants to try forcing on people and is betting on/wanting so badly for it to take off. The real gut punch is at some point I'm going to compare it to NFTs lol

Ruining lives by walking into a random erewhon and pretending to take a phone call sweating and panicking and saying “sell now. just start selling before it falls any more.” & then I run out in a panic and route myself to the next erewhon

i think it'd be funny if all of the side characters got new outfit designs in s4 while the sextuplets get nothing, they just get to stay in their crusty ass hoodies.

For the first time in like close to a year I???? cooked and even baked this weekend????? I still don't really enjoy the process of it all (I think I never will, especially alone & for myself) but it still feels nice to eat something a bit more "cared for" than my usual stuff...

[omgrandomwords]

ok so today’s episode

as enjoyable as it was i feel like these emotional scenes are coming off too strong

y’all forgetting percabeth was sloowwwww burn. everything regarding the themes, their fatal flaws, the unravelling of the petty and toxic nature of the gods, that took five books to fully flesh out.

and we have it all pretty much just told to us after half of a season at this point.
