At this point I'm waiting for him to peel off a mask and reveal it was Kevin Spacey the whole time.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I feel like you would have to actively try to handle things this badly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ha, Matt!
I don't really know anything about Mr Velour other than the stuff I have read the last few days and I'm trying to keep an open mind because I am really only reading one side of the story (it's a very persuasive side, but I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing) but I did read the interview where Chuck Tingle comes up and the rest of that interview pretty much makes him seem like a prick so....yeah

Last I heard (I haven't been on Twitter all day) he was refusing to step down, but I can't imagine there's any way he could effectively serve his term after this.

New outrage! Via T.S. Eliot. The thread is as good to read as the letters themselves (which are linked) -- [link]

Ok, I thought I could just click over and check that out but I'm gonna have to save that for when I can really devote some time and attention to it.

Holy shit amazeballs:
A white romance novelist's ethics complaint against the author Courtney Milan for calling her book a "racist mess" led to the censure of Milan and sparked an uproar across the publishing world. Now the novelist, Kathryn Lynn Davis, says that her original complaint about the professional harm she suffered was not accurate.
In an interview with the Guardian, Davis said she was "encouraged" by the administration of Romance Writers of America (RWA), a trade association for romance writers, to file a formal complaint against Milan, an influential former board member and diversity advocate. She now feels she had been "used" to secure a political outcome that she had never intended.
