I wish I could go see Olivia but since I can't, I hope you go see Olivia!!!

Since the weather sucks and I can't go outside and the internet is broken and I can't reasonably plant any more tomatoes, I'm gonna see if I can get into the top 500 weekly high scorers on Islanders: New Shores, I guess.

One of the things I had to spend like 2 hours on this week was combing through all the privacy settings and then trying to decide if this thing that sincerely helps me manage my well being is worth the fact that they made the privacy shit so weird and dodgy, and I'm so tired. (do not want advice)

The tornado left my garden alone but it did take out the internet, which has gone from an estimated repair time of 4pm to 5pm to 7pm to 8pm to 9pm to... ???

the tomato situation in the garage escalated so rapidly I am not even going to post pictures, I'm actually embarrassed. LOLOL

what terms do I have to mute to never ever ever see another discussion about whether or not we should believe the helpless exhaustion our daily miserable grind just trying to survive, or Some Guy's Charts that promise we're doing fine. 🤸‍♀️

yeah, this is still working for me on my computer, but my phone is a shitshow

every time someone likes this I see it out of the corner of my eye and am like "why did I post et tu, tulsi" which I did not but it has the same ring and I think that's how it should be pronounced

I shared the first chapter of what would have been the next Mercenary Librarians book on our discord the other day with the caveat that if we ever do write it now it will need a complete overhaul because they literally destroyed AI as a fun concept.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

$20 is such a steal!! I love this series 🙂‍↕️ now I want to reread them allllllll

Eat tire, tulsi?

Wondering if I can find some folks who want to trade some bonus knitting supplies/yarn for some 3D printed stuff. 👀 I really want to try knitting again now that my hand is feeling okay.

This is hypnotic, I of course deeply support making ridiculous tie-in cakes for your book.

Putting this in a new thread for visibility: I’ve opened up a pre-order for the next batch of sock weight in this color! They will ship at the end of June ☺️🧶 #knitting #crochet #yarn measuredandslow.studio/shop/hand-dy...

it’s timeeeeeee! time for what? for your quarterly reminder that when we are angry we take a breath. drink a glass of water. talk to our therapists and friends. and we don’t do what? post anything that could be read, in any way, even ungraciously, as a threat of violence. that’s right.

THERE IS A TORNADO COMING RIGHT AT US AND IF IT EATS MY GARDEN I QUIT

slowly assembling my 2026 "trainwreck fidget toy" super pack, so of course we had to add clicky popcorn. thebrokencircle.etsy.com

oh boy it may be a "mute glp-1" sort of day on the timeline, I see. lolol

Cato's gonna be in The White Lotus S4 lol.

OMG THAT WAS ENOBARIA?!?!?

wait, this is me just figuring out that Big Man is Big Reacher was also in the Hunger Games. 🤣

Because I should post about books more, how about a slow moving thread about our cult classic series: That Time Bisexual Bootleggers Paused Doing Kink To Overthrow a Theocracy. Pay what you want for book #1! payhip.com/b/Aa2l (Or pay $19.99 for the whole thing: payhip.com/b/sEkS#1!)

I can't believe I'm looking at a fox news clip where everyone is like "is that guy about to pull off his face and Tom Cruise will be underneath" so I'm going to bed to watch this next episode of For All Mankind, which will feel very normal & grounded compared to our current reality.

It took me forever to actually upload these to the shop, but I have 9 sets now! (But of course, if you have a 3D printer you can just print your own!) thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4509...

I probably got the cheapest version of setting up a robust garden because I had a WILD AMOUNT of the stuff already on hand and could build/repurpose a ton of other supplies to be creative. And it's still not been CHEAP but even more than that, my god the time I have spent out there. lol

Turns out when House Republicans called for today's hearing on "a threat to the Supreme Court’s legitimacy," they weren't talking about its centuries-spanning track record of replacing 'Rule By The People' with 'Rule By Well-Connected White Guys Named John'? ballsandstrikes.org/court-reform...

We have a paranormal romance where a plot point hinges on them having to find someone with a zip drive. And in the book, the heroine is using a netbook. lol

And I'm crying again. Both at such an unbelievable tribute to a wonderful person, but also at the beautiful pictures because how was she so fabulous in so many unique ways??? Unlimited range when it came to shining bright. 💖

My mother asked me earlier why she keeps seeing articles that are like "great election night for Trump" when he keeps primarying people with even less electable nut jobs. And like... It was a great night for him! He got revenge! He doesn't give a shit if that made it a terrible night for the GOP.

Lissen...I was just telling Bree that Beyond Shame is the only ebook I have ever read entirely on my phone. Which is a thing I do not do bc that is inconvenient af, I eventually got an ereader, and it was so compelling I couldn't stop. Check out the content notes and dive into this series y'all ❤️‍🔥

like this definitely sounds bad but I'm guessing from the way all the lawyers I follow are stroking out I do not even appreciate just how bad it is?!?

since I accidentally helped kick off this horrifying realization for so many, please let me pass along a link where you can yell about it.

thanks everyone who has helped out. boosting this one last time, as a fierce auntie with a dragon's worth of protective rage in her heart. 💓

please stop booing I have a lot of speech to go

This was a super compelling and super nervewracking! It can be hard for me to pick up a book that isn't part of a series and just read these days (adhd brain going on sporadic strike over here) but I read the first couple pages of this and just... kept going to the end.

Great desk buddy

Honestly the best $20 you can spend on books. It’s a steal for an incredible series that is unlike anything else I’ve ever read.

We do indeed have content warnings, and the Beyond series has some dark themes. (but I don't consider them dark romance because our protagonists murder the people doing the dark shit on the regular) www.kitrocha.com/content-warn...

these books are so excellent, highly recommend you go grab the whole series! O'Kane for life 🥰🎉

If you are a Colorado resident, please feel free to contact your Colorado house representative and ask them to call a special session of the legislature to impeach Jared Polis.

There is this weird dynamic at play in the AI Hype death spiral where people who are accusing you of being a techphobic luddite will try to convince you LLMs have made some incredible progress and the progress is now they can implement a stack but only with 82% accuracy.

Good morning! It's time for another "we're doing our best out here" thread reminding everyone that We Sell Things and they're fun & cute & oh no I printed 7 extra bisexual space glitter fidgets lol BUY ONE????? thebrokencircle.etsy...

once again, everything having to be 420, 1776, or 47 is so exhausting.

honestly I want everyone out there just saying "I'm a centrist. I just believe that everyone on both sides should get healthcare and affordable groceries and gas prices they can afford and not have to constantly worry about survival" just say it 24/7 and make THEM argue that it's not centrist.

I know you're sick of it, but the key to political messaging is repetition: A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Plan A: Spend the summer at camp hiding from your influencer mother. Plan B: Accidentally break your arm and then blackmail your anxious skater crush into letting you hide at her house all summer. SUMMER OFFICIAL IS OUT NOW! 🛹🧡🍦 rebekahweatherspoon.... #booksky #romancebooksky #yabooksky
