It's very simple.

Corporate social media accounts--and tumblr may be a commercially irrelevant social medium but it is both social and a medium--are run by human beings.

The human being who runs this one is John Green. He used to write novels but now he writes about the world's deadliest infectious disease.

happy pub day to the little book that has occupied my brain for the past four years. my prayer for you and for us is that you live long enough to be called "Everything Was Tuberculosis."

will this be the last chance to get a new signed JG book since you fucked up your arm signing them all?

(love your work btw I’m trying to get a copy of everything is TB as I type)

Probably.

I mostly fucked up my shoulder, not my arm, but there is some long-term damage there that seems to have resulted directly from my signing my name 700,000 times in the last twelve years.

I'm very grateful for the chance to have signed so many books, but at some point you have to realize that you will never recover your youth and will in fact continue to degenerate until you are no longer able to maintain homeostasis.

Worse still, you become a nostalgia act, wiling away your days on an undead social media platform answering questions written by a five-headed dragon.

But even if you can't sign books, you can still write them, so that's a bit of a consolation.
