for your #questpit consideration: THE ISLAND’S DAUGHTER. #q #a #f #sff #wf #u

Cold War who? We don’t know her @nytimes.com

*screams in copy editor* @nytimes.com @apnews.com

I can’t do Last Week Tonight anymore. I care very deeply about John Oliver’s well-being and our idiocy is torturing him. I can’t continue to watch the pain and disappointment in this sweet man’s eyes. @lastweektonight1.bsky.social

Ten days of wondering if the new administration is going to ask us to move or if they’re going to shitcan my spouse or both, and honestly it feels like it’s been ten months.

@nytimes.com they’re not, for the love of your copy and FC departments please fix this language. It’s not a payout if you’re expected to work the next eight months and then depart without severance. It’s literally just deferred shitcanning.

So are we all panic buying coffee or nah?

@jaymesmansfield.bsky.social what’s the best cheap wig to buy for, say, Karen-ing ~las migras~ while holding a giant Stanley cup and pointing an iPhone camera? A big dumb hat could be involved too

this is my family’s life right now ☹️ @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/u...

Whew it’s still there 🥵

I feel like I’m going to crack in half. Anyway, here’s a picture of some ravens in the Trader Joe’s parking lot

It’s, like, truly difficult to get into fantasy writing this week 🫤

“We’re leaving the planet and you can’t come” —every Aquarius today #chappellroan #astrology

It’s 6 degrees in Santa Fe, NM, and I’m imagining how much George R R Martin is haaaating it

Yo I had six more minutes to binge tiktok and it’s dead

Any other mamas doing a children’s museum morning?

Mountains are incredibly important in my fantasy wip, and this is what I’ve got in my backyard: the Sangre de Cristos, in the New Mexico Rockies

Hi, I’m Aleta and I’ve been writing new scenes as I claw thru my adult fantasy manuscript revise. Plot: A widow returns home to help her family set the course of their island’s future, but disaster forces her to put politics aside and confront a celestial serpent bent on devouring the world.

Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too

Today we’re oscillating wildly between crippling anxiety that this manuscript revision is going to fail, and utter delight at how brilliantly it’s going 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

I need the #makeup and #skincare and #beauty fiends to share the bedtime lip balm they’re using. I’ve got the RMS Lipnights, the chamomile scent really really hits the spot and the formula feels like it’s doing good work through the night.

This article is fascinating for a lot of reasons but the main thing I’ve gotten from it is that I’m definitely not querying my fantasy wip manuscript as romantasy because the tropes are slim to nil www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This is pretty legit: New FREE contest for writers of Adult Sci-Fi and Fantasy — tinyurl.com/2025wdwcon3%... — Judged by agent Kesia Lupo, via @writingdayworkshops. Winners get an agent critique of their work.

Wait so in Encanto, Mirabel asks for a miracle and things proceed to be kind of the opposite of a miracle until Casa is rebuilt…. so did the first Encanto have to end so that Mirabel could have her own Encanto? Encantos are non transferable? #disney

What a great day to dissociate into my wip ⚔️

If Tim Kaine has 49 million fans, then I am one

We would both prefer to be at my writing desk right now 🫤

I’m sitting down to do the gnarliest revision of my life, let’s gooooooo

Ok fellow fantasy writers, how are we getting ourselves stoked and focused to do a big, gnarly chunk of manuscript revision? The kind where we’re cutting characters and untangling them from the plot momentum and we’re about to lose our minds.

Writing some fantasy and I got a little visitor

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s still digging their home desk out from the holiday chaos

Sorry to report that I’ve completed a deluxe sample of Charlotte Tilbury magic cream and my skin has never looked and felt better

I cracked the code on durable orchid pots with a $4 colander and $2 cut glass plate from Savers 🔥

please send thoughts and prayers: my cat has become diabetic right as I’ve begun my big manuscript revision. she is no longer allowed lunch. she knows how to open my office door.
