Oh, so they’ve heard of copyright, then.

NASA is launching the Artemis II mission! Astronauts will orbit around the moon. It will be the 1st time a Black astronaut orbits the moon in Victor Glover, the 1st time a woman astronaut orbits the moon in Christina Koch & the 1st time a Canadian astronaut orbits the moon in Jeremy Hansen. WOW! 🌝✨

Brainstorming tools are out because I’ve got a plothole to patch.

This cold is kicking my butt, but at least it's a great TV night. (Will Trent, High Potential, and RJ Decker.) Smart, funny crime shows are my favorite.

I was talking to my husband about this after S2.E4 because I got a little sniffly when one of the expectations I had was subverted. And of course the big one in the S2 pilot. (Trying not to be too spoilery.) Season 2 is amazing.

There's a reddit thing where people upload pics asking if they're AI. Often I'll look & think one is real. Then a bunch of commenters will circle very obvious (once circled) tells and...what even is my brain? It makes me so anxious when I don't clock things that are immediately obvious to others.

A nearby (NH) town that I would have bet a tank of gas would wave their red flag to the end just went blue in a special election on the state level. Another little kernel to add to my tiny hoard of hope.

Just got texted an invitation to join the Navy. I should show up just to see the reaction to a 53-year-old romance author walking in with a tumbler of coffee and her fleece woobie. (Side note: Recruiters having enough access to student records to spam everybody on their contact list is annoying.)

Can you think of a cozy fantasy cottage core book that features - found family - small towns - cats, mermaids AND unicorns and IS NOT The Spellshop? We're hunting for a book for a reader. Any suggestions?

I'll never forget the day I realized I don't have grandchildren yet, but like...we're them now. Time for the zero-fucks-given, feral GenX grandmas running amok in romance. Hell, even the great-grandmas are kicking ass. (Though my mother is not great at tech, I must admit.)

1000 words down, at least 69.000 words to go.

Between the CAN men sulking because they won a silver medal and the US men laughing at that guy's sorry excuse for a joke about the women's team, I'm done with men at the Olympics. I should have stopped paying attention entirely after the women's hockey team and Alysa Liu got their gold medals.

I mean, yay USA. But the GenX part of me is sad our 1980 gold is no longer our last because I have complicated feelings about "Dream Teams" (pro all-star games, basically). They don't land the same. (Yes, I know the arguments about countries *coughUSSR* subsidizing athletes, making them pros.)

I am very much not a morning person, and this Team USA 5 on 3 penalty kill is a little much for my second cup of coffee.

Just realized the hockey game tomorrow is at 8am not 8pm (my time), and IDK. Hockey with my morning coffee? That’s weird.

Apple really only gave us ONE episode of The Last Thing He Told Me s2? At least give us the first two, ffs. We're all going through some shit.

THAT'S OUR GOLDEN GIRL!! 🥇⭐️🇺🇸🏆 #WinterOlympics

Alysa Liu is my favorite ever. I actually had tears of joy for her.

Gold medal OT. Sure. My nerves are totally up for this. 🇺🇸🏒

"I will ruin your career with a bad review" is actually an incredibly funny thing to say to an actual working writer, damn never had one of those before whatever will we do to overcome this major life setback

I hope somebody gifts Nazgul a little gold medal for his collar.

Being able to hear the drone is ruining this Olympic coverage for me. (It’s some kind of snowboarding jumping thing.)

I'm not great at figuring out the Olympic schedule because we usually just watch the prime time recap show, but I thought I'd watch the women's hockey final and the women's figure skating final...and those appear to be on at the same time tomorrow. Because of course they are.

To the woman at the USCellular store in Marshfield, Missouri who will probably never see this but who rescued my mother and I from over an hour of very long-distance tech support hell for the iPhone 12 my sister gave her, there are multiple people out there thinking you're extremely awesome today.

So…watching USA men’s hockey and it’s going to be a tough one because Germany wears black and gold and, no, they don’t look anything like Bruins sweaters, but we also look a lot like Islanders at a quick glance. Anyway, go Sway & McAvoy!

Just sitting here admiring the work of the Harlequin cover department. (But yes, I should be writing the words that go with the cover for Her Favorite Fumble.)

Still thinking about the halftime show and can you imagine the grass people having to be still while everybody’s dancing around them to that music? I have no impulse control or discipline so my tuft would have looked it was in an earthquake.

Sometimes closing the laptop and opening a notebook is the only way to get the book written.

When your post gets in the discover feed

That halftime show was amazing. Did I understand the lyrics? No. Did I need to? Also no, because his message of love, pride and community was so strong. And beautiful.

As somebody with a team playing in tonight's major sportsball event, I hope @courtneymilan.com gets lost in a great read she can't put down. Or at least roots for the other team. 👀

I’m enjoying The ’Burbs on Peacock. I love Keke Palmer, and she and Jack Whitehall are brilliant together. Kapil Talwalkar is hilarious, and it’s always a joy to see Julia Duffy on the screen.

Thanks to the partnering with @draft2digital.bsky.social you can now get THAT REILLY BOY in paperback AND ebook from @bookshop.org ! geni.us/thatreillyboy

Sometimes I wonder if people who come here to rant about AI stealing their words and then go to another platform to share the cool art AI made for them know we can see them.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Appealing to their humanity doesn't work, but 🍊 going against the 🔫 org has to be setting them on their heels because their 🔫 daddies keep them in cash. They've been running on "[D] will come for your 🔫" for decades and their whisper network must be 🔥 right now.
