The venue feed for figure skating is the greatest blessing Peacock has bestowed upon us this Winter Olympics.

Looking forward to #BookstoreRomanceDay ! #BookSky #Romance 💟💜💟💜💟💜

Delighted that our Ebooks can now be bought through Bookshop.org, which means: 1) you direct a portion of your purchase to an indie bookstore of your choice, supporting a small business in your community 2) you aren’t sending money to the Big River Behold COYOTE RUN: bookshop.org/a/107403/978...

MY BIG CLEAR OUT! Here are 3 shelves of my books in A-Z order by author. You can have any 2 for £10 (free P+P). Please share (and buy). UK only.

Please, kitty, please stop galloping over the laptop keyboard. You do not, in fact, need to use it as a springboard to leap from bed to table.

I'm sure this will end well.

Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-) is a Northern Irish physicist who, while conducting research for her doctorate, discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. This discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974, but not to her - the prize was awarded to her (male) supervisor. #CelebratingWomen

Amazing news! When you purchase the audiobook of my novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster between now and Feb. 12, ✨ 100 PERCENT ✨ of the purchase price goes to BINC, the nonprofit that helps booksellers who are having a tough time. I love this audiobook. And BINC. It's a win-win! libro.fm/binc

If this British team—she of the Union Jack dress & he of the leopard shirt—don't do the Spice Girls, I will be both shocked & disappointed.

Now it's the B-tier Canadians & they're boring. Maybe I'm biased against them because they're dressed like high school athletes. (I'm only guessing at their B-tier status because they didn't compete in the team competition.)

If Absinthe was a dress.

Because I am a basic bitch who never met a cliché she didn't love, it's gotta be Kool & the Gang's Celebration, followed by Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.

The Canadian ice dancing team is giving me big roller disco vibes in the absolutely best way.

You know, it's a good time to be reminded that we all collectively have it in our power to simply pretend Jake Paul doesn't exist and act accordingly. That is a choice we can all make together.

Also, @seanhollister.bsky.social has been hanging out with the Whistle Coven, and wrote a piece about it! The opening line is "Kit Rocha and Courtney Milan have a knack for drawing attention to a cause." Our chaos field has been immortalized. (This should be a gift link!!!)

Only about a month after opening registration, we have almost 350 independent bookstores registered for this year's #BookstoreRomanceDay. If you're in a book buying mood, why not throw some support to one of them? bookstoreromanceday.org/participatin...

I'm not as concerned about an <edit> button as some, but I am thrilled to finally have a "Drafts" option.

If you've registered for BookCon, you may want to reconsider.

Remember Garfield Minus Garfield? I feel like this version of Christianity is Bible Minus Jesus

If you haven't yet watched Bookish on PBS, you should do so soonest. It's everything Lynne says it is & also aesthetically gorgeous. Every relationship has depth & nuance &poignance. I loved it so, so much.

Poor Nico Gleirscher of the Austrian luge team looks like JD Vance's doppleganger.

tfw all the now independent journalists you want to keep reading all go to Substack where you won't because obvs

If you haven’t already, delete your TikTok

I'm having a very difficult time taking the USA luge team & their facial hair seriously. They look like dudes someone just grabbed out of the local bar the night before.

One thing I appreciate about the Winter Olympics in the age of streaming is being able to only watch the sports I'm interested in & watch them whenever I want. No cutting from luge to skiing (or whatever), just luge all morning.

Please read this whole thread. It will give you hope and strength. Food will taste better.

I'm watching the "venue feed" of figure skating from earlier today, which is supposed to be without the commentary, but I've got the subtitles for the commentary. It's weird.

Much like Soylent Green...

The next time I get excited about butter being on sale, would someone please remind me that I already have TEN POUNDS of butter in the freezer?

I’m Analilia Mejia and I approve this message.

I hope the middle of the store is a table of Horromance. Also, if you're nearby, you should go visit if only to make me extremely jealous.

Y'all, we just passed 200,000 whistles shipped in the first week of February. 💖 We're less than 3k away from the 500k total mark. Thanks for helping us get there. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

The pan was cooking on the counter so I didn't burn my mouth on molten cheese & I walked into the kitchen to find the elderly cat up on the counter literally standing on the pan trying to get the foil off to get to the enchiladas. She didn't succeed & the foil protected the food, but bad kitty.

It is super weird whenever someone sets up a new Substack and I can't say I have regrets about ditching the platform at all

Black bean & corn enchiladas are in the oven right now. I've been craving them for weeks & had all the ingredients & finally got around to actually putting them together.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

just to be clear, this also means that huge numbers of romance titles are now functionally out of print. and sure, romance has always been an ephemeral genre, but this decimates the genre in a very real way. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/b...

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

This fella spends his afternoons at the track. He knows in his heart that today is the day his trifecta is going to hit.

I need to eat something for lunch but I don't want to make something for lunch. Even toast feels like too much work.

KD Casey m/m sports romance, you want this one!

I am poor. I am not, however, entitled enough to believe that my wanting or needing something is justification for keeping others poor by employing a tool built on stolen work rather than paying an artist, even if by barter/trade. I will use something "bad" I did myself rather than use "AI".

If you're an author, reader, or reviewer who would be interested in being a part of this celebration of the mass market paperback sometime on the weekend of August 14-15-16, DM me or email infoATbookstoreromancedayDOTorg.

Like “bad” art is so pure actually. In its lack of technical “skill” or expertise or whatever its just a pure expression of the need to create and express its beautiful

I think that one of the panels I want to do for #BookstoreRomanceDay this year is a celebration of the mass market paperback. So many of us got our starts in the Romance genre—whether as readers or writers—with mass market paperbacks & if they're dead, they deserve a proper wake.

doing my best to stay sane while bearing witness to the current madness. wrote a rainy day song for my new kids’ album. thought of the smiles it would bring to the faces of my wee fans. sigh.

All noodles can be drunken noodles if you’ve applied yourself properly.

So. Excited. SO! VERY! EXCITED!

Can I tell y'all a little secret? When people say "sex scenes are so hard because you have to keep track of every detail, like where was his hand last" and stuff like that, I actually think "if you're writing your sex scenes that mechanically, they're probably painful to read".

Remember: There's still plenty of time to ensure that he gets absolutely fucking humiliated in the primaries—preferably so much so that we never, ever have to hear from him again.
