Alllll of this is gonna be stolen from romance novels and AO3 and none of it is going to be what the type of people who think ChatGPT erotica is a good idea want. But also Romancelandia scammers will be scamming. (Yes, if you write a book with ChatGPT, you are scamming)

I love that hating Reagan & pointing out how much of our current clusterfuck is his fault has become a key part of my online brand. My stepdad would be so proud.

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation

Their main idea is that they want poor and disabled people to die.

I'll be presenting a panel on Consent! It's Sexy with @lizlincoln.bsky.social and also doing a workshop on the ABCs of Publishing for the newbies (because we were all newbies once!) COME SEE ME! I'll be the one in the hat!

This is very good and reminds me of a point I always make when people say you can’t shame people out of being bigots. You can’t, but you can make them behave better by not creating a culture of permissiveness when they do

Damn this timeline for making me into an advocate for fucking Jimmy Kimmel.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

This is a stepping stone to declaring people non-citizens for the purposes of … well history says putting them in camps and sometimes actively exterminating them

If it’s purity politics to say trans rights are human rights then the Declaration of Independence is playing purity politics by asserting we are all equal.

When you look outside and the rain is coming down at a 45° angle.

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Doomscrolling is a lot more fun when you're rooting for the doom

I know many of you haven’t had a Covid shot in years but please, this is so important to call your reps and yell at them about. This is one of the few safeguards immunocompromised and disabled people have against this disease that everyone seems to not be afraid of anymore. Covid still kills people.

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

"Calvinball" making it into a major SCOTUS dissent is a grim achievement for comics

"If violent rhetoric is denounced but never deplatformed, it will only become bolder—& more violent. In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine." The authors call out violence caused directly by Kennedy, Bhattacharya & Prasad. www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

Very bad news from Costco. One of the groups orchestrating this pressure campaign is Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian Nationalist law firm that is hellbent on reshaping US society. The ADF coalition "now turns its focus to CVS and Walgreens."

Also, I always mix up when to use medal vs metal.

I don’t know if this is ADHD or perimenopause or just brains. But last night I couldn’t for the life of me remember my friend’s roommate’s name even though I’ve known it for years and met him several times. Today I put on an 80s hair metal mix, and I remember every word to every song.

MissA just got 1st place for girls in her age group in the Tosa Triathlon. This girl is fast.

I am begging writers to acknowledge that we don’t know as much as we think we do and start researching things. The amount of factually incorrect stuff I’m seeing in books lately is wild. All stuff a Google search would correct. (But not the AI results.)

Hi, Barbie! 👋 Barbie x Tim Hortons x PWHL dolls are here! Limited quantities available now in the PWHL Shop.

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Buttigieg has doubled down on his “leave the issue of trans kids in sports up to communities.” To reiterate: This means leaving civil rights up to localities, abdicating the role of the federal government. School districts controlled by Moms for Liberty extremists will be free to discriminate.
