There’s always this thing in romance where no-nonsense or uptight women secretly love fancy, lacy, bras and underwear. And I am a cotton-only gal, thanks to the sensory issues, so that sounds like itchy hell to me. 🤣

Telling myself that drinking a few glasses of wine is perfectly acceptable when I have to talk to my mother for the second night in a row. Hell, I should’ve had more.

I did not, in fact, know this. And I am someone who has worked in and around publishing for a very long time. 🤯

I am literally the only person sitting at the bar, and I am okay with that. Top-tier introvert outing. A+.

I did actually make it outside. Picked up some meds and am now drinking happy hour wine.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I have a dress on. And eyeliner. And a knee brace. Have I ventured out to do anything? No. lol.

MAD NAKED SUMMER NIGHTS is back for the heat wave! Light, sexy novellas you can devour in an afternoon by the pool; a slow-burn marriage of convenience to linger over on lazy porch-swing evenings; and a smoldering Gothic novel you definitely shouldn't read before bed… books2read.com/b/SummerNigh...

The heat dialed down just enough for me to use the oven and bake a frozen pizza for lunch. I topped it with chicken sausage and sun-dried tomatoes. It was a struggle to convince myself to a) actually eat and b) make it myself instead of spending money outside. So, yay for adulting while AuDHD.

89% percent humidity, though? 😭

We have a little break from the 95-degree weather today, so I should probably go seek out some combo of daylight, human interaction, and groceries.

A queer 56-year-old loser with a voice like sex. A brown Millennial writer searching for answers. A bit of inspiration from Springsteen, Kevin Bacon, and Hozier. It's NOBODY'S BARGAIN but it might be your jam. My alter ego's latest is just $2.99. Buy links: books2read.com/u/bxD0no

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani. apnews.com/article/andr...

Will the national media admit that Andrew Cuomo's attempts to make this a referendum on Israel totally backfired and Zohran Mamdani's intense focus on housing and public transit won it?

I’m enjoying IRONHEART so far. Excellent use of Alanis Morrisette in episode 2. Those review-bombing losers can fuck themselves with adamantium claws.

If Cuomo loses every New Yorker should get to give him one free kick in the balls. Two if he wins

Cause of death: Pedro Pascal for Vanity Fair

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Delighted to let people know that Sangu Mandanna’s upcoming second book is a goddamn delight even more than the first one was, has ruined me for all other cozy witch romance: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/696868...

Relevant to our Romancelandia interests. We've got movies based on books by Taj McCoy and Carla De Guzman coming up, just to name a few!

Stefano DiMera just came back from the dead for the eleventy-billionth time to endorse Cuomo.

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

the detail about the dog lying in state beside them has unexpectedly fucked me up

I have WIPs in the Third Shift world. I'll reread one and get a spark of "You could finish it." Then I just freeze up. BBW and PLL were my "swing for the fences" books. Now, just leaving the dugout scares me. And what's with the metaphors today? Frog dissection? Baseball? 😂 Get offline, Suleikha.

I don’t know how long this sale will last, so grab them while they’re cheap. :)

Time for end-of-month rattling of the authorial tin cup! My high-heat Red Carpet e-novellas are all available at Amazon, Kobo, Apple, & B&N for $2.99. I also have BAD DESIRE, a filthy age-gap Springsteen-inspired short for $1.99. Buy links: www.suleikhasnyder.com/p/the-kali-d...
