December 10: Spiced Peanut Butter Bonbon This one is mighty tasty. And look what came in the mail: the special edition of @mishiiarts.bsky.social's Don't Drag This Out. A good evening all around.

I love all of the Holiday's with the Wongs novellas, but these two nerds are probably my favorite! 😍

real 'how it started/how it ended' energy here

This is how it's done!

For indie authors a 1200 first week would be incredible. For a book about sleeping with RFK Jr and helping him kill millions 1200 first week is a disaster.

So relieved that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is being released—a clear example of this admin being punitive because they’re embarrassed. And they don’t care about hurting real people and families.

I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I POSTED THIS THAT IT WAS IN THE WORKS AND IDK WHY DC HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO GET IN THE DAMN GAME BUT ??? !!!! ??? !!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqdA...

Western Washington is currently experiencing record flooding from a series of strong atmospheric rivers. 12 rivers are at major flood stage. 100,000 people await evacuation orders. Will some places see less severe climate impacts than others? Yes. Does anywhere promise safe haven? Absolutely not.

Maybe I should have done a better cover reveal but I noticed it was sneaking up on the Amazon site and like, hey. I love this cover. SO MELODRAMATIC! MUCH OCEAN! VERY STORMS!!!!! All of the covers in this series are by the amazing www.instagram.com/byhangle/

One of my favorite books, and favorite openings to a trilogy, ever. (Not just in romance. Like, ever.)

this book really slaps. Let me tell you, this is the finest tattoo work in romance. AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.

OMG everyone!!! Mr Collins in Love is one of the 10 New York Times Best Romances of 2025!!!! I'm literally dancing round the living room with joy 🥰

My #RomanceColumn best romances list for the NYT is live today! It’s impossible to pick just a few books from so many, but as the song says, impossible things are happening every day, so let’s get to it! (Gift link) #Romancelandia #booksky

Welcome to my Australian rom-com advent calendar! If you're Australian and want to read local, or from overseas and want to broaden your horizons, I've got you covered. Day 1 is The Wedding Forecast by Nina Kenwood. No one does emotionally realistic mess like Nina - this book is a masterclass.

This is incredible! Texas is a voter suppressed state and the people are fighting back and this is so very good.

Some really good nominations have come in so far! Remember you have until December 23rd to send in your nominations and to enter the giveaway. Details in the newsletter. #RomComBracket

She began writing in her forties and went on to publish over 200 books. Don't ever let anyone tell you it's too late to chase your dreams.

Great ad. Going to be watching this Senate primary closely!

Six years ago "The Doors of Penlyon Place" was my annual queer retelling of a holiday story and this was absolutely the first time I chose a story that most people reacted with "Sorry, what is this based on?" "The Christmas Hirelings" is definitely *not* as popular as, say, "A Christmas Carol."

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

Day seven of #ArtAdventCalendar Her Constant Companion

Want a Xmas romance? This is not that. RIDING NICK is a very silly and slightly sexy 99-cent short story in which a burned-out, 40-something, Bengali atheist gets her bells jingled by Santa Claus. books2read.com/u/mgeOWX

The bear would never

god, this is going to be my favorite photo of him unless we get one during an auspicious event. also, the NYT doesn't run this photo for this story unless they smell blood

"A plucky librarian and an archaeologist on the run fake an engagement to save their lives" Sign me up! This is what my life needs. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97805...

This is as expected. What we're not gonna do is give up on Texas. It is not a red state, it is a vote suppressed and gerrymandered state. Our job now in caring for each other is to find out how we can help get out the vote in Texas. I suggest following @andreagrimes.com

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

US people: there is a Goodreads giveaway for 50 print ARCs of HOW TO FAKE IT IN SOCIETY (which releases next April so don't miss). Get your "nervous nouveau riche x flagrant con artist" Regency romance here! (US only, not in my control, sorry.)

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

A probably daily reminder for #BookSky that it turns almost my entire backlist was added to #KoboPlus and that includes my holiday novellas which means if you’d like a fake-dating, nerdy, roommates-to-lovers, homophobic jerk gets comeuppance queer holiday romance? "Faux Ho Ho" is right there.

This is called Universal Design, where something is designed technically to help people with disabilities but ends up helping a whole bunch of other people too. Curb cuts is perhaps the most famous example of this - it's for people in wheelchairs, but everyone uses them.

maybe we shouldn't assume people really wanna take advantage in general, and we should just make stuff more accessible for everyone. there's so much unidentified disability across the spectrum of need and too many folks get shamed out of accessing what is there.

As of 8:58 PM EST, NYT projects that TN-07 is less than R+6. Obviously, we all are hoping against hope that Aftyn wins the election, but no matter what, even coming THIS close in a Trump+22 seat is a MASSIVE win for the anti-Trump resistance. Welcome to the end of so-called “Safe GOP” seats

#GivingTuesday: As of 9 pm ET, with the support of a $25,000 and $20,000 match, we've managed to raise $89,954. We only need a little over $10,000 to cross the finish line!

If you don't want to read a book about a magnificent unicorn who accidentally sits in some paint and feels silly (and then discovers he's still lovable in his mistake), then that's fine. But to ban this book (for 10 years!) to make sure no one else can read it because of the word "heinie"? SMH. 8/

1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here? 2025: Why am I losing my job to a machine that encourages kids to kill themselves and can't actually do my job? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

Re-upping this for #GivingTuesday in case you are looking for something small and hyper local that will make a difference.

I'm going to take a little social media break for Thanksgiving week. Ya'll are awesome but I want to prioritize in person interactions for a bit. See you on the flip side!

We’ve got one more chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025. Make some calls to help @aftynbehn.bsky.social flip a GOP district in 11 days: mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Mission accomplished.

for days we got the "Showdown with Socialism" buildup only to get the payoff of Trump essentially saying "wow this socialist guy fuckin rules. I, on the other hand, am a fascist". what a country. what an era bsky.app/profile/self...

Weird how this works EVERY SINGLE TIME

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
