So KC Crowne is having the negative reviews stating that her Dark obsession book being written by AI removed... she's trying to get it swept under the rug so people will forget... wtf!

George Orwell would be so disappointed in us right now.

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause

Sometimes, you come across a song that is pure poetry, so full of feeling and meaning. Paired with the right person, it can truly break your heart. This is a passage from the song Asli Ana, in English My Roots, by the Palestinian-Jordanian singer Zeyne. A true ode to her heritage and people.

Crying victim because they got called out on their anti LGBTQAI+ content.... 🙄

Hi all! I’m Jen - I’m a book reader and reviewer who loves all things LGBTQ+, particularly romance, historical, fantasy & sci-fi 🏳️‍🌈 Come and say hi!

Hi! Get to know me💕 - I'm June. In my 30s - I live so many time zones away, my American friends pretend I'm on the Moon (inside jokes ensue) - I read and write queer all year - I love terrible puns (the cringier the better) - My favorite genres are SFF (give me queer romance in anything though)

I'm not really sorry. It definitely will happen again.

Politico got a hold of a leaked list of GOP plans to cut federal spending on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

He was super creepy to me 🤌🏼

Referring to LGBT+ people as "mentally ill" or "abnormal" is not "a discussion." It's not "an opinion." It's not "free speech." It's not "debate." It's hatemongering, with the clear and obvious intent to mark a minority out for subjugation, torture and violence.

Latest in the nicholas james saga. He's gone from sending creepy messages to women in the book community to begging for money from followers. And he wonders why no one is supporting him...

My newest book is out with beta readers, and I'm just over here chewing my fingernails off... #writingcommunity

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

Nathaniel James (or whatever his name is) sends creepy messages to bookstagrammers...

Crockett: It was my ancestors that built the White House. If we have been good enough to build this country, we are good enough to serve in other ways. Stop trying to act as if only white men are the ones that are capable because you’re sitting with 3 very capable black women

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record. Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January. But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil. What planet are they living on?

A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.

A white author that pretended to be Latinx. They were well known for weaponizing their following to anyone they didn't like (especially those who discovered the scam.) They were eventually outed on Twitter in a giant Google doc full of receipts proving their actual identity.

Yeah, so Freydís Moon popped up again. This time, with a new book with “subverted master/slave dynamics”. They're comping the book with titles from their former friends who were betrayed and seriously hurt by the reveal of their years of race-faking and cyberbullying. No remorse or care shown...

Why am I being shown this for watching writing videos. The only way this video would be acceptable is if it was 36 minutes of this guy saying "Don't." over and over. Using LLMs isn't writing! You aren't a writer if you're using generative AI! Choke!

THE REFORMATORY is out in paperback today!!! I have been so floored and grateful after the response to this story of Robert and Gloria Stephens — inspired by my family history.

hello I am here

Yes, using the term "clean romance" does imply that the opposite, romance with on page intimacy and swearing, is the opposite of clean: dirty and shameful... You might not mean it. There's escaping that... using the term is making a judgment...

Just a few of my stances as an author: 1. Writing is not a competition, except with yourself. 2. Reviews are for readers. 3. Books have always been political. 4. Writing is hard work. Be kind to yourself and extend patience. 5. Libraries are vital. 6. Book banning = BAD. ~from your biggest fan.
