The brilliant @maxgladstone.bsky.social liked STARTUP HELL - maybe you will, too! Out May 19! www.caitlinrozakis.com/startup-hell

People who suddenly feel like their transphobic “jokes” and “fairness in sports” takes are a bad look while the government forcibly detransitions people don’t get to say “oh that’s not what I meant!” You did mean it! People told you what it meant and you did it anyways!

More good news! A Novel Mind had us write a piece on what inspired our book! www.anovelmind.com/post/kate-lu... @lbschool.bsky.social @sarahnfisk.bsky.social #dyslexia #kidlit #middlegradebooks

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

I keep getting queries that refer to my "interest in historical settings" and... is this an AI thing? My wishlist mentions historical twice and both times it's as something I don't want. Is it because I'm technically open to historical fiction on qm?

I dropped off my thrift store donations that have been in my car for 2+months at the drop-off center I pass by at least 3x a week, please clap

A Democrat has won the mayor's seat in Boca Raton... by one vote:

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power. Mullin: “This is war.” Raju: “You concede this is war?” Mullin: “We haven’t declared war.” Reporter: “You just said it’s a war.” Mullin: *stammer

Books I read in 2026! Let's see how long I can stay on top of this this year. THE TAINTED CUP by @robertjbennett.bsky.social THE BOOK OF DOORS by Gareth Brown A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE by @annmrose.bsky.social WEYWARD by @emiliahart.bsky.social

February was a rough month so I'm happy to see it go. I feel like i'm drowning. Started with a burst pipe in my condo building, my childhood bff's mom passed away, my parents lost one of their dogs, and yesterday my eldest niece went to the ER with a blood sugar of 500+

Anyway, your occasional reminder that singular "they" predates singular "you"

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Why is no one talking about the STORYTELLING in that half time performance?? Even with 0 Spanish comprehension*, that man had a whole narrative!! * I have, maybe 30% Spanish comprehension but still

Curling is basically shuffleboard on ice, no?

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

If over the next week, youre wondering why you haven't heard from me.... this was my condo building from 6am to 716am today

KEEP CALLING YOUR REPS

Any of my pale cool-undertoned friends got a good recommendation for a subtle lip stain? My lips have so little color so I'm just looking for something that can look like a natural color. (Stains only, I cant stand the feeling of stuff on my lips)

This weekend I'm hosting a FREE writers conference featuring, among other things, a full panel of literary agents just answering your questions. @bookbarrista.bsky.social @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social @sandraproudman.bsky.social @kellythomaslit.bsky.social & more Ocls.org/writersconference

We actually don't need this and to the extent that we do, we can get all the ones we want by catering to the white voters without a four-year college degree who really wanna see these fuckers face consequences.

People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

I thought my days of planning 21st birthday parties were long past but last night I planned one for my volleyball teammate from a queer league at a queer bar and her mom even came and thanked me and we danced and drank and played darts for 5 hours and man did I ever need a night filled of queer joy

I do think the bookish discourse that bores me the most is "the adaptation did this one little thing differently so it's bad." But it may also be "do audiobooks count" or "why can't I tag authors in bad reviews, can't they take critique?" hbu

There is a site obviously created by AI that is pretending to be a continuation of Pitch Wars. It is not, has nothing to do with anyone involved in #pitchwars, and looks quite scammy. Please beware & tell your friends. @brendadrake.bsky.social @kellyekell.bsky.social @authorsoniahartl.bsky.social

Proud of my colleagues and peers in the industry for speaking up about this with @thehill.com. Keep fighting for these stories. Don’t give up. thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

"Last night, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell put the whole of the establishment wing of the Republican Party to shame. Not to mention every Republican federal lawmaker. Not to mention most lawmakers, regardless of party. Not to mention every damn member of the Trump administration."

No-fault divorce has saved multitude of women's lives yet Republicans are actively trying to repeal by claiming it is hurting "innocent" men. Imagine being trapped in a marriage with your ex, that's what they want Texas HB 3401 Oklahoma SB 829 Louisiana Covenant Marriage Nebraska LB 498 And more

Rec me the book you read last year that you are obsessed with! (This is not a self-promo post, please refrain)
