Hi guys! Just opened up my commissions again!

I watched Adventures in Love and Birding, which is an adaptation of one of my favorite contemporary romances, BIRDING WITH BENEFITS It was so fun to watch a movie focused on birding. A lot of you nerds will love it! But I think romance novels must be the hardest books to adapt… #romancelandia

So update: Scrivener DOES NOT WORK on macOS Tahoe. It opens fine, typing/editing is fine, but the Compile function is completely broken. There’s an interim build that fixes the issue here: forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/scrivener-...

I checked. He really said this.

Hey Tessa Dare fans! Tessa is still on social media hiatus but she donated a FULL SET of the Castles Ever After books to the Unbound for Gaza auction, and they are going for a STEAL right now. (sorry to whoever has the highest bid, but all is fair) www.32auctions.com/organization...

so if anyone was planning on going to the Texas State Fair in Dallas, it looks like Harlequin books will also be there and you can get a free book 👀

Who do I need to talk to at S&S to get 107 Days in large type? I have had to decline so many purchase suggestions 😭 (Also, how do you publish a book like that with no large print option???)

This article in The Cut is the perfect encapsulation of the wellness -> MAGA/MAHA/QAnon pipeline. It’s also just very sad that this woman desperately needed help and everyone went with “well it’s her choice.” www.thecut.com/article/karo...

I have confirmed this as well. Per an industry source familiar with the situation, ABC and Kimmel made no editorial or content concessions to Sinclair.

remedial chaos theory never fails to not crack me up when it hits that moment

if you start lecturing someone on alt text depth after they got shot you owe them $20 immediately, i dont make the rules thats how it is

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

They’re going to keep doing this to try in an effort normalize the idea a right to a fair trial is an impossibility.

deepest of deep breaths feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.

The #Smithsonian museums don't focus on legal nuances of slavery, economic oppression of Native Americans, or the evolution of Presidential power. You want systems & causes: go to Nat Hist or Air & Space. The History museums explore the lives & cultures of American people through their artifacts.

exasperated man out of his time meets hyper competent perfectionist woman makes me so giddy when i'm reading romance especially when he has a waistcoat tooooo #romancelandia amzn.to/3VC1iDG

Lots of folks want to have a gotcha, "did you know: America has always had corruption!" No shit. But did you know: a huge reason millions of people came to this country was because it was *better* at things like the rule of law and not being openly corrupt. For real. bsky.app/profile/anil...

Similar to the tech industry many of these folks wanted “mass deportation” as a threat to discipline labor and the administration is trying to balance that.

Way before #AlienEarth even premiered, I landed a dream assignment: talking with Timothy Olyphant about everything from lessons learned on #Deadwood with David Milch to the TV storytelling pitfall he hates the most to breaking down tonight's finale (spoilers are toward the end):

A U.K. court has dropped the terrorism charge against Kneecap’s Mo Chara, citing a technical error in the way it was brought. “This entire process was never about me, never about any threat to the public, never about terrorism,” he said on Friday.

“Something in my heart keeps telling me that D.C. taxpayers desire and expect more for us than to simply serve lengthy prison terms and be regurgitated back on the streets.” Hear from an incarcerated writer about how the federal Bureau of Prisons fails D.C. residents:

Words mean things, and dating is something that happens between people. It is WAY closer to plausible to say someone is dating their pet than that they are dating a chatbot, but journalists would not use that frame. "People are deciding to date their dogs." Nobody would write that.

Ahhhh!!!! Emma!!!!

Today's deals include: ~ A menage with her brother's best friend and a male stripper ~ Bakery clerk/library temp + the pediatrician next door -- aka her ex's brother ~ Children's librarian + sheriff / divorced dad & more!

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell people that Isobel/Tonda is losing her battle with cancer. She has been diagnosed as terminal & is now in comfort care @ her bffs house. GFM link below, DM if you want to send Isobel/Tonda direct funds (preferred)for her care. #fuckcancer gofund.me/73738360a

love seeing local boys do well

It’s Vivian Stephens’ birthday! One of the most important romance editors of the 80s along with Kate Duffy and Carolyn Nichols, here are five books that she had a role in that you should know about.

#WeHaveFriendsEverwhere Phase 2 of protecting our free speech involves boycotting Sinclair ABC affiliates who refuse to air Kimmel. Here’s a great source of action items: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Shana Tova to all my Jewish beloveds I see you and I cherish you and I am grateful you exist here in this world, and I am holding you in my heart with so many blessings and good wishes for a sweet new year

I've read almost everything in this list and recommend them all. Talia has excellent taste. 😊👇

Dan in Real Life! Also, Little Women (new one), Casper, Sleepy Hollow, Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, Stepmom (but that's been a hard one for me anymore), and you'll HATE this but You've Got Mail. Never WHMS. LOL

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

i want to point out that this model of policing is similar to laws like the hong kong security laws of 2021 where the broadening of terrorism, national security and treason basically makes it a field day on civil society activity. expect arrests in trade unions, academia and media to follow

Practical Magic which I know you’ve watched. And weirdly, Anne of Green Gables.

Charade has been restored by criterion, but the digital version on prime also looks so much better than the grainy film look we had before. I've looked into if this is the same print, and found zero info. All I know is it's a fall palette mystery and it's never been prettier. 🎃 ❤️

Over the Garden Wall. The Crow.

I say this softly: if you have nothing but despair to offer, take care of yourself for a while. Share your worries quietly, privately. We all need support. When my account sometimes goes quiet, it's because I can't post anything heartening just then. But I shine a light whenever I can.

ah yes!! i do my annual Vicar of Dibley in the fall as well! it's just so nice and cozy.

Pushing Daisies Good Witch Everwood Anne of Green Gables (1985) (RIP, Jon! 🤧)

It is unfortunate that there are so many readily available examples of what I’m talking about and why it’s important to discuss the racism they’re using as a key vector for this.

I have gone right to Halloween and am re-watching Stan Against Evil. Love Vicar of Dibley this time of year. One of these days I need to restart and actually finish Witches of East End. That was the perfect amount of drama with a bit of camp. 🧙‍♀️

Buffy is a fall rewatch must. The Vampire Diaries (or if they annoy you) The Originals, Charmed, Derry Girls, Abbott Elementary, Wednesday, Gossip Girl. Well now that I've planned my fall rewatches....

An affair to remember, all that heaven allows

And then, sorry, absolutely must mention @kategoldbeck.bsky.social's You, Again, because:

while it's problematic in many ways, Dead Poets Society. also, and I realize that you dislike this one, When Harry Met Sally

I know it's not the *whole* movie but this scene in When Harry Met Sally has absolutely lived rent-free in my head since 1989.

I'm planning to fall deep into the Mike Flanagan oeuvre this fall. I still have three of his horror shows left to watch, plus I feel that I would enjoy a Fall of the House of Usher rewatch.

For those getting raptured tomorrow, you can send me your unneeded money. I promise I will do something great with it. ko-fi.com/melissab
