oh wait I thought we all already knew that hockey was a very conservative sport
last one, I swear: don’t know much about hockey but I know what they say about blaming refs
“Canada deserved to win” sounds like a them problem
Pam Beasley they’re the same picture meme with Canadian goalie Jordan Binnington & a sieve.
the girlies of threads are so sad that Ilia fell they are already approaching ice cabal conspiracy theories

having a political science husband means listening to him see if he can list every instance of intervention in latin america by a republican US president since eisenhower from memory
piedmont small press club getting left out, i guess! loved your list this year
y'all had such a good list this year!
suuuch a bummer! deep vellum missed out too I think? there are so many books out so I both get it and… don’t
this one:

i'm not hiding my sadness in missing out on this one. and we get ignored a lot! we submitted to the editors of the list and sent books
i'm usually not this petty but the big list of 100 small press books from 2025 missing even a single book from my press is kind of baffling to me

cc @katearden.bsky.social and @rainbowfish523.bsky.social who have worked so tirelessly everyday to make this incredible thing what it is today.
In Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and West Virginia, ACA enrollment has tripled in the last five years.
Nearly all of the enrollees in Florida, West Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi are getting subsidies.

My husband is going to Hanoi for ten days for work and it’s been (checks watch) 8 hours since I dropped him off at the airport and I’m already beside myself that he’s gone for so long
Wild to me that we could get our NEA funding stripped and an Indie Next pick (and big national coverage, watch this space) in a 3 month span. All kudos to @katearden.bsky.social and @rainbowfish523.bsky.social--I truly think @hubcitypress.bsky.social is singular and punching way above our weight.

Cover reveal for HOPE HOUSE by Joe Bond, out 5/5/26! Set in '80s Kentucky, this debut is told from inside a treatment home for teens, where lost boys become more than their pasts and discover the transformative power of hope. Design: @megireid.bsky.social / @katearden.bsky.social
GROWTH! 💀🥴
honestly a lack of research from a lawyer with a classics degree pretending to be a writer is so much less concerning than what i found out when i read the goodreads reviews. 90% of them are one star rage posts. HC must just print these books as literal rage bait. at least people are buying them...
Once again, @hubcitypress.bsky.social is looking for experienced readers for paid manuscript reading this fall—both fiction & nonfiction. You'd be the first eyes on submissions and help us decide what requires a closer look. Email relevant experience to jobs@hubcity.org. DM with questions.
It's truly a bummer that PEN/Hemingway award moving to PEN/Faulkner foundation means they eliminated the submission fee waivers for publishers who have less than $2 million in sales. We spend thousands in prize submissions every year just to be considered for these things--it made a difference.
to call this a crime against humanity is true but inadequate — it’s a crime against all creation
And Rebecca Makkai!
Meg and Kate writing synopsis material for ritz of the bayou by nancy lemann in a google sheet first thing this am
We offer an author-centered, boutique experience over here at Hub City Press. Or...whatever this is.
(@megireid.bsky.social and @katearden.bsky.social generating synopsis copy in an endless google sheet...)
Thanks, @megireid.bsky.social and @katearden.bsky.social! I am so excited that you are bringing THE RITZ OF THE BAYOU back into print. Looking forward to writing more about Nancy Lemann, Louisiana, New Orleans, and her entire body of work.
hey siri, does the military like it when they are subjected to open disrespect from civilian leaders?
"...we don’t advocate for violence, but when they use brutal violence against our people—and kidnapping mothers and fathers from children is violent —when they do things like that, we have every right, every historic right, to defend our communities by any ways that we can."
