Remember when a bunch of actors fell for NFTs?

This CNN report really has me in my cynicism this morning about trying to teach consent to teenage boys growing up in community with these men. I feel like all my sex ed is a gnat in the face of a tsunami.

The MC is from Charleston and the audiobook narrator is an actual South Carolinian because I could not deal with a shit southern accent. In case that's a thing you also care about.

Hey would you like a romance about two lesbians on a road trip to an ex's wedding where they're pretending to date + there's only one bed? What if there's some existential angst? I wrote one and the audiobook is on sale for 3.99 libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

truly feels like this would be a slam dunk impeachment and you could scoop up a lot more than just Hegseth. "war profiteering" is not hard to explain to low-info voters and would work even on people who are a hell of a lot more pro-military than us. "disrespecting our brave troops" or whatever

but what if it happens on Rex Manning Day

My 10 year old, on Bob Dylan: He doesn't like... Make words. With his mouth.

Ahhhhh the dopamine hit of "I forgot I wrote this chapter and it's really good."

if you can, here's some trans folks who need help.

My dearest fellow writers, we do not ever need to describe another human being's body as "corpulent." It's still fatphobia even when you use a thesaurus.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

I wrote a book that begins on Erev Pesach, maybe you want to read it? It's a grumpy/grumpy estranged married couple Persuasion x Sweet Home Alabama x Tangled rom-traum-com about a demi pan boy trying to unfuck his life, and his wife who's not interested in that journey. bookshop.org/p/books/for-...

Number of days since HQN did something shady sign resets to zero.

When my son was about 2.5, I found him banging his head against the wall "like Toad." He might have been on to something, I could use some help thinking of a story.

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

whenever folks talk about harry potter and separating artist from art they always have this indignant 'OH SO IM A BAD FOR BUYING THESE BOOKS?' but thats not the real issue. the reality is that many will BELIEVE you are bad, and that is VALID. its not your choice what others think of you

School Spirits is GAY and FUNNY and ANGSTY and there are GHOSTS and Milo Manheim is the most perfect himbo boyfriend, and I am so thrilled we get more of it.

SCHOOL SPIRITS GOT RENEWED!!! This is important to only me but it's very important to me.

Husband, kid and I did 5 national parks and Falling Water. It was Houston to Pittsburgh via the Appalachians, and it was freaking great. I ended up in the love with the Great Smokies, kid ended up wanting to be the next Frank Lloyd Wright.

Dear historical romance authors, if you're going to have characters in 1815 talk about Tambora erupting and mentioning the unusual sunsets, do not then have them enjoy the European sunshine the following summer. Please. For me.

TFW you get emotionally invested in a ship but there are hardly any fics on ao3.

my Roman Empire is how the Appalachian mountains are older than the existence of both 1) trees 2) bones

New Hartnell episodes 😭 sometimes we get tiny good things

Six years ago today, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot six times and killed by police officers who forced entry into her Louisville, KY apartment. Her death sparked nationwide outrage and calls for an end to police brutality and gun violence against Black people. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter

Out today: SB 13 neutered librarians’ authority over their collections. I no longer determine what goes into my collection. I make recommendations, and a council of parents called a School Library Advisory Council (SLAC) decides whether or not to recommend approval.

“We’ve got a little hiccup with some of the Hispanic and Latino voters for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous,” Mr. Johnson said in an interview "A little hiccup." "Viewed as." They're not going to change policy, they're going to change messaging.

Ted... You can just not talk, you know?

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

The agreement would let the data center pull between 2-8 million gallons per day from the area’s primary source for drinking water. And if usage goes over estimates, it would accelerate the need for a new drinking source by decades.

I'm finally catching up on School Spirits and it remains so good. It has everything I love: teen drama, ghosts, found family, angry messy caustic girls, emotionally devastating himbos, m/f ride or die BFFs, many gay people, complicated parent characters, smooching. More ghosts.

One of my favorite lessons from Jewish tradition is the idea that every life is a universe. I can't imagine a state which claims to operate on behalf of the Jewish people thinking it's legitimate to kill dozens of innocent people just to find the remains of others. A shanda beyond comprehension.

Just highlighting this because !!!!!!!!!

Fucking burn it down

"Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic." "... he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." Attorneys for Martinez's mother

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.
