Lol John Oliver set up a how-to guide for how to make Meta make less ad $$$ from you. johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com

Not done with my edits yet, but my brain is percolating on the next thing. Part of me is like, chill out we have work to do and the other part really loves the dreamy feeling of conjuring a new universe.

This morning, when checking out of our hotel, the person at the desk thought my wife had three kids. I am six months older than she is. 😂

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

13 year old: I know what this author is trying to do but she keeps using slang wrong. YA authors: preppy doesn’t mean the same thing now that it meant when you were a kid

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

LEGEND This is both satisfying *and* legally sound (more than sound, it’s brilliant).

Doing edits staring at the ocean in the sunshine is lovely. It does not, however, conjure New Hampshire at Christmas.

This book is a goddamned delight.

Happy Valentine's Day from your local queer romance author. The world is a dumpster fire but I'm going to keep writing hopeful, funny, sexy stories about queer women falling in love.

In honour of Valentine’s Day, I would like to present my favourite historical love story.

Fuck this shit, we are not free without the "T"

This is just disgraceful piece for the @wsj.com to platform. Where’s the bottom?

The snowy sidewalks this morning made running feel like I was churning through mashed potatoes. And ten minutes later I was like "my legs feel weirdly tired, I wonder why?" 🤦‍♂️

Keep calling your Republican Senators and Reps. 202-224-3121

Paige has shared her MSWL! If you're a match for what she's looking for query her! I love working with her and will happily talk about how great she is and what I like best about being her client with anyone!

Hey @democrats.org You’re going to have to get your hands dirty. You’re going to have to run up on these people and put your bodies on the line. You’re going to have to do things that make you uncomfortable. Press conferences and social media posts aren’t going to cut it.

i got death threats for writing about game of fucking thrones. be serious.

This publisher's choice to brand books with warning labels exists in the context of the worst book banning emergency ever. Bigots who don't read and are hostile to libraries want labels like these on all books, circumventing the professional judgment of teachers and librarians. This is bad.

I also contacted USAA (my bank who issues my credit card) to let them know that I would not partner with Nazis and that my grandfathers who fought in WWII and were members of USAA would not take kindly to this bullshit either.

Done and USAA what the hell are you going to do about this? My grandfathers were USAA members who both fought Nazis in World War II. I don't think they would take kindly to this shit.

My entire family booed the ChatGPT ad.

In case you missed this yesterday! My second novel (out October 28th) has a cover!

I get to talk romance with some incredible folks! Come listen!

Okay, it's here! I love it. Thank you to artist, Monika Roe and art director, Amy Wetton for taking the few ideas I had and turning it into this perfect cover! Coxie's muscles and undercut! Ali's whole vibe! The setting and the skates! Could not love it more!

I have a final cover for YOURS FOR THE SEASON! I'll share it just as soon as I make sure I have all the proper folks credited but it's fantastic and super queer.

Literary groups, publishers, and and professional writers' orgs issue joint statement condemning Donald Trump's recent anti-trans executive order www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I know we all have a lot to worry about but — this bill in Oklahoma is the thin edge of the wedge. In the guise of an “anti child p**n” bill, it actually could outlaw things like romance novels, LGBTQIA books, etc — felonies for not just authors but also booksellers. Straight outta Project 2025.

It's fun to try to plan a legal research class where I get to tell students these federal websites are great... but who knows how long you'll be able to use them.

in less than eight years the NCAA went from banning North Carolina from hosting championships due to its bathroom bill to... this.

It's absurd to think cis girls need protecting from trans girls. Full stop. And their "protector" is a man found liable for sexual abuse?Are you fucking kidding me? Let kids play sports without asking to inspect their genitals you fucking freaks

PWHL play-by-play broadcaster Clay Matvick DMed a fan and called them a "man hater" because they tweeted that didn't enjoy listening to him call women's hockey games. The league & the broadcast networks have been silent on the issue, & Matvick has not addressed it publicly. Why not?

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

Pre-orders are great! They're like a way to go to authors and publishers and a gift to future you! You can pre-order my next book YOURS FOR THE SEASON (out october 28th) and have a sapphic Christmas book coming your way in the fall!
