“No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress on Thursday. No people of color were selected, either.” abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep...

the quality and range of services public libraries provide relative to what they cost is nothing short of a miracle imo. But yeah, sure, “run government like a business.” 📚

Have I read all the books I own? No. Will I keep buying more while re-reading my favourites? Of course. My bookshelf, my rules.

This holiday season, take a moment to visit your local bookstore. It’s about more than finding a great book—it’s about supporting the small businesses that keep our communities thriving.

We MUST keep vaccines. have you written your Senator to let them know?

HOBBIES I HAVE ON DATING APPS: • hiking • gardening • swimming MY ACTUAL HOBBIES: • looking at photos of frogs • eating large bowls of spaghetti • sleeping

From an romance author perspective most of my income comes from Amazon’s kindle direct publishing and overdrive. So if you’re feeling anti-amazon support your local libraries and ask them to carry more e-romance. My print sale are like 7% of my income.

If you are in New England, An Unlikely Story, The Purple Couch Bookshop, All She Wrote Books, Books on the Square, and Belmont Books are all amazing bookstores with fantastic staff and selections!

"On Twitter someone said -" *brandishing crucifix* NO *hiss* DO NOT REFERENCE THE BAD PLACE *screech* LET THEM KEEP THEIR PROBLEMS OVER THERE INSTEAD OF HERE *vomit* WE LEFT FOR A REASON *dissolves into goo*

We don't need more remakes of old movies. We need more MUPPETS remakes of old movies.

I love that the actual Libs Of TikTok handle was taken before Chaya could get it and renamed "Fuck Fascists."

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

I was cruising Pinterest for inspiration and found an image I liked, and the person who uploaded it had added a quote as a caption - and it was from one of my books.

Is it too much to ask to make these flintstones-shaped?

This is my periodic reminder to everybody who loses their appetite when they get stressed out to do whatever it takes to keep eating - set reminders, ask a trusted friend, whatever - because there have been years of downstream effects from my inadvertently collapsing my health in 2020 or so

Patreon is truly a blessing because, sure yes money, but also it gives me somewhere to scream about sneak peeks over stuff I can't talk about publicly. Anyways, they're getting a look at the flipthrough of the upcoming Neon Gods special edition.

Happy International Day of People with Disabilities! To celebrate, I'm dropping some information about International Day of People with Disabilities. I hope you enjoy these slides! Image descriptions in alt text due to character limitations #IDPWD #RomanceBooks #ReadDiversely

Sex workers in Belgium are now entitled to health insurance, pensions, sick days, maternity leave, safety protections and formal employment contracts under a new law. This is the first law of its kind in the world.

Many ADHD/autistic people are made to feel unproductive when actually their hyperfocus and differences in attention means that they likely produce twice the amount of work as anyone else in a few hours then need the next few hours to rest. Output is less consistent but there.

Some mealy mouthed guy: “shut up about politics and just write your books.” Me: “My dude, what makes you think that my books are any less political than my social media posts?”

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots. To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

"It's bad to leave Twitter because-" We live in a society run by weird little billionaires who would prefer we are all unhappy so we keep spending to get occasional hits of dopamine. It is okay to leave the website that makes you feel horrible. Go & be free.

Honestly some days I just need a few weeks to myself

Happy December! Free submissions are now open for our Poetry, CNF, Shot-Shorts, and Visual Essay categories! Hope to be swooned by your work soon!

Dear readers, a reminder: please leave a review if you enjoy a book. Even a word or two. It makes a HUGE difference to writers and our books #HotelArcadia #bookreviews amzn.eu/d/3viyypI

Subtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

Cat: You don't understand, you must let me out into the world, I yearn to be free and unfettered by domesticity Same cat five minutes later: WHY DID YOU BANISH ME TO THE FROZEN REALMS OF THE OUTER WORLD THERE IS NOTHING BUT A WASTELAND THERE HOW DARE YOU SIR

this is terrific and I hope it ruined at least one billionaire’s day!

I don't mean to brag but l'm a bit of a triple threat: I can make it weird when I'm talking too much, I can make it weird when I'm not talking at all, and I can even make it weird when I'm talking the appropriate amount. Look out world.

I'm actively trying to piss JKR off by making her white cishet icon of the light a Black trans woman. If I'm lucky, one day I will get an angry email from her team. And I plan on printing it out and framing it in my office.

Burglars are very sneaky these days. My husband and I heard a noise downstairs and I went to investigate and was all the way to the kitchen before remembering I’m not married.

December should be cool because it’s basically like the Friday of the year, but I would like a word with whoever scheduled this big important 4:30 meeting for me to stress about all day

Saw this and had to repost. <3 Credit to Marpal Embroidery for the work!

Let's talk agents. Because a good agent is worth their weight in gold, and a bad agent is a wreck on a wreck of a toxic publisher situation. Buckle up for a thread.

the twelve days of christmas is completely unrealistic there is no way that you’re still accepting gifts from someone after four days of birds

I’m not sure how it can be December tomorrow when I still have January laundry to do

Listen, this author career can be really isolating, but there are a LOT of folks who are super happy to share information, chat industry info via email or zoom, or like respond to your questions on various social media.

Sound advice.

The hardest part about working with indie authors is finding out spoilers to their amazing books that you want to read. #booksky

Dark sexy romance “died” in trad in 2018. Couldn’t sell a project to save my life, but I knew the readers hadn’t just magically disappeared. They were reading indie books, which is where I found them again—and ended up making more money than I was traditionally in the process of finding them.
