More vampires who 300 years later can’t remember what was the truth and what was the lie they told to get out of trouble.

More vampires who are like, “I don’t know, man, I spent most of that decade in an opium den.”

More vampires who weren’t paying attention because they didn’t think it would be important.

More vampires who don’t know because there was lot of conflicting gossip and they don’t want to point any fingers.

More vampires who are just bad at dates. “Back in 1620, or was it 1645, wait, what year is it now?”

More vampires who were on a totally different continent when it happened, so get off their back and stop asking them questions already.

YES to all of this but also consider: vampires who only remember the most trivial stuff.

“Oh yeah, the only thing I remember about the American Revolution was this nice candlemaker I met sometime, and she was wearing this really cute red shawl…”

“Uhhh I don’t remember much about the fall of Rome but there was this one fucking cobblestone right outside the coliseum…”

Also consider: vampires who realize three or four hundred years after the fact that they knew someone famous.

Why does it always come down to “vampires”? They’re not real. But I can confirm that at one time or another, all of the above have happened to me.

Vampires are a known and common fictional trope. You’re new and exciting and need a good publicity campaign

Wonderful…publicity. That’s precisely what I need.

You DID just sign a book contract. I mean, if I don’t see at least ONE billboard as a visual apology for every bit of Twilight and 50 Shades sheer effrontery I’ve had to tolerate for the past decade, I will weep.

If it’s any consolation, Stephanie Mayer signed autographs with a murder weapon, so I have her fingerprints on it if I ever need to do away with her.

The publishing contract is signed

The entire Cookbook collection will begin being released as of this March in all standard and electronic formats.

Also, as I understand it, there are some very exciting Tumblr and social media based opportunities planned for readers to participate. From art to fan fictions.

Contact me if you’re interested in contributing something to the experiment and all the marketing that will be done to propagate it to the uninitiated.

I’m so excited!!!!!!!

Also…I received your package finally. He is wonderful, thank you! I will photograph him soon for all to see.

My agent had a chance to see him when she repackaged my mail. She wanted to know all about him and his tiny counterparts. She believes they are a very substantial contribution and wants to see you do something with them, possibly something that they can co-market, if you’re interested.

*is SCREAMING*

*is content*

Please convince that woman to charge an amount for the Pocket SimonsTM worthy of her labor.

It would be all entirely in Savi’s hands and merely marketed by my agency and publishers

Yes, and I don’t trust her to not charge a pittiance for them!

You mean Savi? She has a fair price already set.

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

@simonalkenmayer

This is disingenuous. All it proves is that capitalism does work, for a specific few who can aggregate wealth. And that is only beneath the current system, which could easily be altered but won’t because of how much power is wielded by those people…

Who I would happily eat.

Have you ever wondered where books come from?

Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.

Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:

You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little coats to keep them warm during their first winter:

image

See how they happily line up to put them on:

image

See? Better. Now they’re ready to go and explore the world.

image

And if they make it through the winter and we take good care of them, they will grow up to be strong and wise like their older fellows:

image

So, in case you were ever wondering, now you know.

As a Publishing Professional I can say that this is 10000% accurate, and I am a little concerned you’re just giving away all of our industry secrets on Tumblr.

I am a famousy awards-winning author of BOOKS and I endorse this post.

I am literally crying from how cute this is

And what do they eat?

Paper scraps and drops of ink, of course.

Are you sure they don’t eat hearts and minds?

what timeline is this

The one in which someone is working to demystify andestigmatize sex and decriminalize sex work. Good for them.

I would make the argument that Pornhub is trying to help it’s own image. They’re far from an ethical company- quite a bit of their content is stolen, so the actual sex workers see 0 pay for it. But they want us to ignore this, so like any unethical company they throw money at charity and have publicity stunts.

And yet, many people wherever that was, were able to get out of their homes and drive to work that day. Actors in productions are paid a salary or a contracted amount for their participation in a film. This payment is a “one off” and so they could expect to make no more from  it’s showing, whether or not that work is stolen. It is the production company who loses money on productions being pirated. They aren’t any less ethical than Youtube, and yet i don’t see youtube out there with snowplows helping people keep their jobs.

the worst memories of being bullied is when ppl would pretend not to be bullying you and ask you questions and u thought they were just asking u stuff but they were actually laughing at you the entire time and u had no idea bcos you were young and you didnt understand why people would be mean to you when you didnt do anything wrong. 

I spent a lot of my childhood in a constant state of “this is a trap but I don’t know how”

This stayed with me. Sometimes when people are nice to me, I still think they have bad intentions.

Ah…now the skepticism of niceness makes more sense.

I can always tell if someone is lying to me. I don’t always know why or in what way, but affrontary doesn’t escape me. This reminds me that most humans don’t have that skill. They can only trust what evidence they are given and I suppose hope that they will find companionship undermines the perception of dishonesty.

That’s very sad and also makes me even more determined to have a positive impact on those around me, particularly those who do not trust me because I practice kindness.

Humans make everything so complicated.

Sometimes I wonder, too, but I highly doubt anyone would bother to pretend to be nice to me. It’s too much effort, isn’t it? Even though it’s super effective in gaining my support, irl, no one would know that just from seeing me.

Or rather, I tell myself to take things at face value, but follow precautions strictly regardless of feelings. Downside is I don’t trust anyone for real, upside is I don’t have to suspect anyone in particular to protect myself.

I know that logic, but I can tell you that it is very lonely.

Yep, this was… A lot of my childhood. 😦

Well…you’re friends with me now. I am far superior in every way, I assure you. I also make food.
