The way my friends just *clenches fist* make my life better

Now the first draft is finished i feel a little lost 😅 like... what do i do with myself NOW?! (I have plenty of editing to do)

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

1st draft of my 6th novel is COMPLETE

To save her late mother’s Algerian bakery from ruin, a 25yo baker accepts to cater her nemesis’ lavish wedding—unaware the job would include uncovering her mom’s buried past…and falling for the groom. #A #R #MENApit 💞

🌟SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT🌟 As part of our mission to uplift MENA/SWANA authors we have secured *guaranteed* agent participation for #MENApit tomorrow! 🥳 This is just one way we’re showcasing MENA writers & their stories. Our stories deserve to be heard & these agents fully agree!! 1/3

We need all hands on deck to stop H.R. 7661, the federal book banning bill. Your voice matters. Congressional offices track every call—we CAN make a difference. I hope you’ll join me in speaking out. There's a script you can follow here: action.everylibrary.org/callhr7661 @authorsabb.bsky.social

Well deserved!!! So excited for you both ✨️✨️✨️

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Made my calls. Have you? 5calls.org/issue/stop-i...

When you get a brainwave and suddenly the whole story idea makes sense ✨️

The Israeli military at the direction of its elected government and with the full support of most of its population murdered over 20,000 Palestinian children.

Current events are making it hard to stay optimistic.

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

Greens win Gorton and Denton by-election and new MP Hannah Spencer gives victory speech saying: “My Muslim friends and neighbours are just like me: human.” That this even has to said in 2026 is so troubling.

A crate of samosas could fix me
