I will befriend some corvids: crows, ravens, even blue jays--I'm not fussy.

Hey can we talk about Leslye Penelope because I don't see enough people talk about Leslye Penelope I haven't read all her stuff yet but THE MONSTERS WE DEFY was a masterpiece so maybe start there

what a shocking turn of events who could’ve seen this coming

Hey, I’m just a sapphic author who needs some help to get by in the new year. If you can’t contribute, can you boost? Every little bit helps 💖

If you are looking for m/m romances written by a queer Asian man: check out CD Rachels! I believe most of his books are in KU.

Just a couple days left to grab this short story I edited for FREE if you have Amazon Prime. 💙📚

Apparently we're being hit with a bomb cyclone of weather conditions and my internet is down, too.

Artists! The US Copyright Office has changed the rules, starting in Feb. we can register up to 20 published 2D works of art in a single application, making it way more affordable! Important as registration is needed to fight theft in court or the CCB. #art #artists www.copyright.gov/rulemaking/g...

Seized with the sudden urge to watch Baby Boom and they have it on Hoopla.

I have washed the walls of this home. That is my 2025 accomplishment. Thank you.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

It’s true! My hockey ladies are just hanging out waiting for you. 💖🌈🏒🥅

After giving it a lot of thought, I have made the strategic decision to not leave my house today.

The final product (although I'm tempted to stuff more dessert into both tins). Nanaimo bars (separate because they contain nuts), chocolate chip blondies (the kids like them best) and gingerbread latte cookies.

Too lazy to do one of those how it started/ how it's going posts

My only responsibility for tomorrow is Christmas crackers (the loud English kind) and desserts. For one of the sweets, I decided to make the gingerbread latte cookies from Half Baked Harvest that @authoremmabarry.bsky.social posted about. www.halfbakedharvest.com/gingerbread-...

My debut novel MAGGIE THE DREAD hits shelves on July 7, 2026, courtesy of Little Bee Books and Simon & Schuster, and is now available for pre-order! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Maggie...

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

A gift article for those who want to know more about this amazing author's story! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/b...

...What's this? A preorder for a Golden Years novella? Dropping on 12/31 (just in time to squirrel yourself away to read on New Year's day)? www.amazon.com/dp/B0GBYQ88Z...

To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.

Our good friend Joy Harris still needs our support in dealing with her cancer costs. She's been such a light to Romancelandia. Can you help bring her some light? Thanks. 💜 gofund.me/0c8d4cee0

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Also, one more time, because why not? I wrote this so I wouldn’t have to keep writing it.

The plan: knuckle down on revisions The result: cleaned the drains

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Harlequin’s global growth in the 70s was made possible by local translators who not only converted the language but also the idioms and symbols of love into things locals would understand. This is a penny wise, pound foolish move by HC, another in a long line.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vaccine rates for flu and covid are way down this fall but that shit is out there kicking asses left and right. Go get your jabs, you can do both at once!

Other people have hobbies. I just buy different grocery store herbal teas on sale and hope that I like them.

Brilliant doc director Christine Choy came to more screenings than any other filmmaker I can think of. When she came to see your film, you were going to get A LOT of thoughts, expressed enthusiatically. RIP Christine. LEGEND. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/m...

I just learned the term enshittification this year and, oh boy, thanks to AI I get to use it a lot.
