Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

The regime won’t let you have clean hands if you work for them, even if they’re punishing you. This was leaked on purpose, is uncomfortably close to confessing to a war crime, and highlights once again how tech’s unthinking growth directly leads to dead kids.

I haven’t learned my lesson about reading creepy things at bedtime. In fact, I’ve doubled down. Reading *two* creepy things at bedtime. Alternating between chapters of Christopher Golden’s Carry Me to My Grave and L.S. Stratton’s Sundown Girls.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting Trump's illegal war against Iran, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Who doesn’t love a skinny, tattooed, 56-year-old alcoholic former coke addict with a bad knee and occasional erectile dysfunction? Ren Francis is clearly the ideal book boyfriend. Meet him in my alter ego's latest novella, NOBODY’S BARGAIN. #romancelandia Buy links: books2read.com/u/bxD0no

My trad royalties for last year added up to $64. I'm thankful for that, though, because it pushed my total royalties for the year over the $1000 line. That was my goal for 2025.

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

“Operation Epic Fury” sounds like a 90s comic book crossover event featuring that one artist who can’t draw feet. The men in charge of this country belong in high school lockers.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

I mean, you’re not wrong! Shows my friends worked on for years were canceled and then used as tax write-offs.

“These fictional sapphics can’t be together because homosexuality was illegal during the Regency.” So much wrong in one little assertion had me talking about anti-sodomy laws after 10PM on a Friday.

Alright February was absolute ass . It’s the last Day of Black history month you can throw in a ol it would help. If you know of ANYONE hiring a project manager, tech policy researcher/consultant , writer , cosmic galactic muse or sugar librarian or sugar cougar Please send em to me

I think Bridgerton needs to end with season six because the production schedule has already dragged on too long. I have zero desire to wait 10 years to see Gregory and Hyacinth grow up and fuck people. Finish the adults and let it go.

Drank some rosé and a weed seltzer on my friend’s back deck and then picked up a slice and garlic bread on the way home. I am probably going to regret the grease. 😂

A little #FridayFling for the prompt "noble." If that word doesn't appear at least once in a romantasy novella about a queen and her two besotted bodyguards, I'm doing my job incorrectly. Fortunately, Frostburn aces the performance evaluation! #romancelandia Buy links: books2read.com/u/47aYWq

It’s an absurdly and rather alarmingly nice day, so I need to get outside.

There ain't a mirror big enough for this lack of self-reflection

Every Friday, share a #FridayFling snippet from your WIP or published work. :) This week’s prompt is NOBLE! You don’t have to match it exactly, just go with vibes. And if it’s published, drop those links in a reply to your main post so people can find it! #Romancelandia #BookSky

I have written far more explicit things in my books and yet I frequently get scandalized watching love scenes on my TV shows. Over here exclaiming “Oh my!” with my cheeks heating from secondhand embarrassment.

Just hit one of my pettiest blocks. A rando I remember from Twitter who puts OA at the beginning of every single post and every reply in honor of the show. It’s so irritating. They popped up here and replied to something and I was like NOAPE.

I know Zohran is getting shit done and that’s very heartening but the old white Democrats all still need to do their goddamn jobs.

Never having watched it, I always assumed The Mentalist was whimsical in tone. I’m getting acquainted and it turns out it’s got a dark streak.

We know media literacy is deader than we wish a certain person was. I am *still* gobsmacked that someone can watch Bridgerton and theorize that Michaela is secretly pregnant with John’s heir because she’s his lover and not his cousin. I have outlandish guesses all the time, but…?!

I’m reading and enjoying Honey Bee Mine by Sarah T. Dubb. A random detail jumped out. Zander puts the cheese in the fridge before they canoodle. It always bugs me when they get horny and forget to put food in some Tupperware. It sits out for hours. Save the cheese, bang the gal = proper priorities.

Stephen Miller at Zohran Mamdani right now:

They gave me 5mg. I drank a rum and coke and ate an entire cheeseburger and fries. And now I’m home making peanut butter cookies.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Just learned that “boxing the Jesuit” is 19th century slang for jerking off and I keep giggling about it. Though, from what I hear, wouldn’t the Jesuits be the least likely of all Catholic denominations to be mad if you masturbated? No need for pugilism, old thing!

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Dear sinuses, This was supposed to be my day for Benedict, not Benadryl. No love, Suleikha

Important article. Nothing burns me up more in the literary space than the same folks who praise dark and mafia romance with their whole chests denigrating urban romance. Tell us why you find one genre acceptable but not the other. I’ll wait. baltimorebeat.com/black-urban-...

Don't forget yesterday's deals, including Beverly Jenkins, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Ava Devlin!

Meeting my friend for lunch. The 20mg-and-Mario-Kart friend. There will not be a repeat performance. I’m not taking their candy and getting in their metaphorical white van. 😂

a lot of people are explicitly fighting Trump so they don’t have to fight fascism Because it means that they have to change fundamentally And changing means admitting they’re wrong. And they would rather someone else die than confront what that means about themselves

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

“I wonder if the edible has kicked in?” *takes five minutes to open a box of Lorna Doones because suddenly boxes don’t work correctly*

Friday is a projected high of 58 degrees. Saturday is a 40% chance of snow. Chicago, you are so unserious.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

thought you probably needed to see this

What folks need to understand is that the Democratic party is through and through a fundraising organ, largely as a consequence of our broken election finance system. Electeds get into office through skill at raising money, not skill at leadership. They are wholly unequipped for this moment
