What can you and I do about bullies in publishing? First, we can all make sure that bully is not in the mirror. Be kinder. Show grace. Hold that subtweet. Decline to comment on things you don’t fully understand. Lower the temperature. Listen. Do the work. Repeat.

@Bad_Hand_Books This advice feels a bit like “be nice by being quiet” and that’s dangerous advice.
@Bad_Hand_Books Mob mentality is bad for sure. I just hope folk are learning from all this. We listen, we see, we hold safe space in which to speak up. And the toxic must learn or know that they'll not be welcome.
