Dear @TwitterSupport, please free @Eve6. His tweet was a line from his book that we are publishing. Putting things into blenders is Max’s main metaphor, it’s not meant to be taken literally.

Do you like reading and editing a book 3-8 times, doing 4th-grade math with money, answering lots and lots of emails while trying to sell art to normies that will probably only buy it so they can look smart &/or cool, then guess what-- you should start a small press!.
