hey @feliciadavin.com I just stumbled on this and thought you might enjoy it if you haven’t seen it www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/broo... almost reminds me of the Suitcase, but no great romance recommendations at the end

Democracy dies in lies! We don’t have a voter fraud problem. We have a voter suppression problem. Try to earn our votes rather than trying to make it harder for voters! #votingrights.

Humble Bundle is doing a Discworld bundle to benefit an Alzheimer's organization that supports both families and research. These are the books we need in times like these. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

Every year, @renay.bsky.social and the team over at the blog Lady Business create, maintain, curate and edit a Google spreadsheet of eligible works and creators across all Hugo Award categories. Let's nominate that spreadsheet for a Hugo Award! hugoclub.blogspot.com/2025/05/a-hu...

Inviting my Hugo-nominatin' pals to check this out. "Hello Sunshine" is one of the best graphic novels I've read in the last 4 or 5 years. It's a great story, the art is fantastic, and the use of the medium itself is often stunning.

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising. IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar. Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

I had the privilege of seeing the Reverend Jesse Jackson debating E. Howard Hunt of all people, and I never understand the power an individual's charisma could have until that day. Never been in rhe presence of his like since.

As it's Ms. Bev's birthday—which should be a #Romancelandia national holiday—here's a few of my favorite Ms. Bev heroines! Billie, Destiny's Surrender Teresa, Wild Sweet Love Maggie, Night Hawk Jessi Rose, The Taming of Jessi Rose Kate, Topaz Spring, Wild Rain Loreli, A Chance at Love Viveca, Vivid

Hey folks! @skyladawn.ca is at the emergency vet clinic with the fourth emergency in four months. This appointment is probably going to cost ~$500 so I'd like us to try to cover as much of it as possible. This is going to be a thread on how to help. 1/?

This book is so dang good. Among other things, the use of dialect is matchless.

This is quite a one-two when coupled with a voter suppression bill that will require many people to have passports in order to vote if the Senate passes it 🙄🤬

I am individually mad about every last DIME of that B$45. So much money for racist hate, so much good that could be done with it. So many communities facing shortfalls for essential services like public transit and libraries rightnow, but plenty of $ for concentration camps. Claw it back.

It’s really easy transpose numbers. Did I write 11/4/2026? Oops the appointment was 4/11/2026. Could happen to anyone, and frequently does.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.

"I am not a crook" (how many thousand people have already made that joke?)

Thread.

To everyone thanking me, much appreciated but not why I posted! Pls support your local immigrant defense group like: The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: www.ilcm.org/donate/ Or my hometown LUCE: www.lucemass.org/donate Or Google your city/state & “immigrant defense” to find your local heroes!

"period marked by a striking departure from traditions and norms at the Justice Department" yes, AND a period of exploring heretofore unplumbed depths of understatement

Today my band is announcing our 2nd album “the beltway is burning,” a 45-minute collection of fake stories based on true events about society and self collapsing at once. It will be released on Earth Day, April 22. The lead single “lil xan goes to washington” is out now.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

oh, i am listening all right. i just wish my senators were.

this, and Madeline Ashby's similarly dark and tricky "Glass Houses" are two of the very finest novellas I've read in the past few years.

Rose/House is fantastic (and I was one of the people who nominated it last year). Get on it!

I think it's time for me to pony up for a wired subscription.

this does not "spark fresh questions" this piles on additional evidence to what we already know. WHAT POSSIBLE QUESTIONS COULD BE RAISED BY THIS OTHER THAN WHY HAVEN'T WE STOPPED IT YET?? comemierdas

i, askeert of spiders WITH GOOD REASON, found this creepy but not TOO creepy. YMMV, but I recommend.

and, I can’t believe I have to say that: queer kids need online community, because they are far more likely to be isolated, get bullied and harassed in real life, so isolating them even more is -not protecting them-. this is also -the point of age verification-.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

this isn't just traitor to the country shit, this is traitor to the SPECIES shit.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Then shut it down. Shut it all down. Call your Senators. Tell them this administration GETS NO RED LINES. The White House needs to move in response to the demands of millions of Americans across the country. No compromise for those who are murdering people in the street.

Good morning to the best cookie notification I have ever seen (courtesy of Paris Defined magazine) #AmWriting #HeyEverybodyItsResearchTime

To be clear: there is still plenty of hope. We cannot afford not to have hope, in fact. But it's gonna take a hell of a fight.

the framing of "it's hopeless now" (or past any arbitrary threshold) is poison. we are already experiencing severe consequences and they will get worse. but we have made staggering strides in the viability of renewable energy, and we can always choose courses of action to mitigate consequences.

this was even more fun than i thought it might be, and dang it, i'm sorry i didn't vote in round one, coz some INJUSTICE was done

sound the deal klaxons!

I found Claudia finding the sun on February 8 (there was no sun to be found yesterday) #CatsOfBluesky

#PretendPanel I don't THINK I would ever write main characters involved in politics directly at the level of a prince or a Senator, but my personal politics directly inform my work and I'm interested in people on the periphery of power structures

🚨BREAKING: Late night decision leads to late night posting of new double A-side single for #bandcampfriday! tedleo.bandcamp.com/album/februa...

This whole thread is helpful (and sad), but this post in particular dovetails with a thought I've had about why organizational culture is very difficult to change, why bad apples spoil barrels, and why I think reforming ICE, as one very specific example, would be virtually impossible. /1

If I hadn't already, I definitely would. Backxwash does not get nearly enough attention, IMO.

This sounds so fun! Especially for (ahem) anyone who has a history of writing "Can Elis kill [a fictional character LOOSELY and certainly not actionably inspired by] this horrible dude?" messages to Skyla.

This is an excellent album.

I found Claudia finding the sun on February 5, but as soon as she clocked me she wanted pets instead of sunlight #CatsOfBlueksy

it's not, and never was, about "immigration" and here's one disgustingly clear example
