    When men frame a murderer's actions in terms of him "having a bad day" I can't help but hear them telling the world that they themselves are one bad day away from murdering women, & demanding empathy & recognition for that fact.

    I will simply never forget
    Screenshot of the now-infamous tweet by @maskofbun (screen name: Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood) above an image of the cover of This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Tweet reads as follows: "read this. DO NOT look up anything about it. just read it. it's only like 200 pages u can download it on audible it's only like four hours. do it right now i'm very extremely serious." The tweet catapulted our book to the New York Times Best Seller List 4 years after its initial publication.

    There are only a few hours left in 2023. What is something that somebody did for you this year that you'll remember?

    A single tweet from 'Bigolas Dickolas' has made This Is How You Lose The Time War by @tithenai and @maxgladstone a bestseller, so we're thinking about a new range of stickers. What should we place them on next @maskofbun? Find the book here: bit.ly/3BnPJG5

    Close-up on Isaac in the same photo to better show the book cover.

    Incidentally if anyone's interested Macklemore's "Hind's Hall" is laid over samples from Fairuz' "Ana la habeebi wa habeebi il" (I belong to my love and my love belongs to me) which you should all listen to & which makes me cry youtube.com/watch?v=ok7vIY…
