...did your social media people not make that suggestion themselves?

About six months after my book was published, I met a publicist from a different publisher who asked what I did on my own to promote. When I told her I hired social media people, she laughed and said, “oh honey, they should’ve told you to hire a celeb to read your book on the beach and Insta it. Would’ve sold 50K…

I don’t understand things anymore.

Because that’s absolutely comparable to this situation

I think the point is that this image is NOT in a museum.

This is one of the great things about getting old.

Luckily I am an old and out of touch so I only heard it the one time, was duly horrified, and never heard it again. So I can’t even remember what it sounded like, just how retrograde the lyrics were.

The body positivity movement and almost every example of “acceptable” thickness is very, very white.

I have SUCH mixed feelings about this chick. I coach cheerleading and I wanna use “Me, too” as a dance track, but then I got to thinking about my ambivalence about her. And it is as follows:

Less than 100 years women have had the right to vote in this country. Women went to jail and went on hunger strikes for her right to vote, but you know, whatevs. Doesn’t apy to her life now.

I got into a HUGE fight with my husband about his not voting in our last election. I don’t care if all the candidates suck and the game is rigged, blah blah blah. People have fought and died to gain the right to vote and an imperfect democracy is better than none at all (not to mention that complainers are rarely…

I already loathed her before so I’m not sure what it is I’m feeling now, but it isn’t good.
