🧵 2 quick tips for anyone who owns an iPhone, values their privacy, and is attending a large public event. Note: these are meant for typical low-risk users. Please refer to @eff.org for detailed tutorials that are useful for higher-risk/higher-visibility individuals.

A massive thread of resources, history, information, and material to help you not only fight and understand book censorship but protect the incredible democratic institutions of public libraries and public education. This is updated regularly!

I had a lovely conversation with a young person at a book event recently who had been using ChatGPT to help write their book reviews. When I patiently explained the way these models are trained they were horrified and promised to write their own. So. I know people CAN get it.

Always here to support a dancer pursuing her dreams!

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

I hate to ask, even more so at this time of financial uncertainty for everyone, but I have some #BookstoreRomanceDay expenses looming & sponsors who have dropped out or are dragging their feet about committing, & could use your help, if you're able. #Romancelandia gofund.me/d7809983

The world is a mess. But, also:

There's a lot that goes into campaigning for any elected position. If you need more information on how to get started, I highly recommend wherecanirun.org which is part of @runforsomething.net, co-founded by @amandalitman.bsky.social. This is where I found my current goal: running for City Council.

Whole heartedly agree on this list pick!

This year I am hosting the Romancing the Craft conference at Rutgers. It’s an all-day affair on May 3 with some of the best romance writers and editors offering a master class, workshops, speed pitches and more. Details and registration here: bit.ly/RomancingTheCraft

Yay! I loved this book so much. Glad to see!

because people have internalised a really strange hagiography based on locus of control over the process of gathering information and for some reason doing so via your eyes is supposed to be superior to doing so via your ears

Post a ship that's not Star Wars or Star Trek

PICK WHAT YOU PAY! The March Book Bundle is here! Scoop up some sexy catharsis in 3 dark romances. 😈 payhip.com/b/V52DU

Ok. But can I rave about the book keeping me company this weekend for a minute: I’m calling this one contemporary romance with a ghost of magic about a career driven sports broadcaster and a cinnamon roll optometrist is everything I never knew I needed. 😍 www.simonandschuster.com/books/Losing...

Five out of my six books are on this list. On top of everything else being on fire, this feels like a gratuitous gutting. Rage 🧵:

How bout some baseball?? www.blackpast.org/african-amer...

Bessie Coleman, the first Black Aviatrix, was denied entry to US flight schools. So she moved to France. Learned French and got her license there in 1922. (thx AOL.com)

One more sleep: Emerald City Comic Con almost here! Find me Saturday at 12:45 waving my hands about romance subplots in speculative fiction or hanging out with @clarionwest.bsky.social at table 8 in the writer’s block!

A Little Too Familiar was absolutely charming. The absolute embodiment of that meme about the werewolf household being the coolest one on the block. Bonus: I love books set in my city! bookshop.org/p/books/a-li...

It’s tea time again: Join us on May 10th in Seattle for @clarionwest.bsky.social ‘s third annual collision of sci-fi, fantasy and romance. This year’s guest authors are Ann Aguirre and Elizabeth Stephens!

Last night I watched a double header, the Menu and Platform, and boy howdy were my dreams a mess. Though if anyone wants to point me at some Chef Julian/Margot fix it fics, I wouldn’t send them back to the kitchen.

Hey. NYers. Do me a favor and support the following assembly bills: NY A05464 aka the Freedom to Read Act, which will protect libraries & librarians & NY A05416 aka the Books Save Lives Act, which will require school libraries to maintain a collection of diverse books here's how🧵

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

If you’re bored writing it, readers will be bored reading it. Yes some parts of writing can be a slog (the mushy middle anyone) but the energy of your work comes from YOU. Not the words. When I find myself drifting off I ask myself “why” and “do I need this scene”
