Could be it. I've read and listened to this one three times already, so it might be where I picked it up.

Thanks! If anything, it gave me an excuse to reread your books, so it all works out.

Her daily monologues about biblical homemaking, male headship, and the sacred duty of casserole-making turned her into a rolling, button-tufted megaphone for retrograde ideology—sort of a Stepford wife, if a Stepford wife had upholstery and delusions of moral grandeur. #WIPSnips

Year Two brought the Great Espresso Revolt, when a hedge fund manager attempted to hoard all the freeze-dried coffee. One ladle-shaped bruise, a month of compost duty, and revoked caffeine privileges later, peace returned. #WIPSnips

The cell they were dumped in contradicted itself: Heavy-duty steel bars, tie-dyed concrete walls, and the air thick with funky incense and the collective body odor of a rotating cast of naughty hippies. #WIPSnips

When "The Golden Girls" went off the air in 1992, TV was never the same. Luckily, the four ladies are back, in book form, but nonetheless, let the laughs and good times continue. Come for nostalgia and cheesecake. #writingcommunity #writersllift #writers #lgbt #booksky #bluesky #amreading

JD is a politician. I don't know that he likes it but he likes power and forcing his opinions on others so that's good enough for him. It pays more than it should, but he doesn't think it pays enough. He dreads any day where there isn't a Hostess snack cake or a Bud Light. He doesn't have a problem.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

It's Monday! How does your character feel about their work?

Do they have a job? Do they enjoy it?

Or is it just a way to pay the bills? Do they dread going in on a Monday and live for the weekend?

Well, he's helping to start a diplomatic crisis, so there's that.

I'm editing my book. One of my characters says, "Audio. Visual." to stress he is NOT a reader. I know I've read this somewhere. I think I'm plagiarizing @scalzi.com but I can't for the life of me remember which book. Help me out, bro. Am I ripping off you? It's killing me.

X grinned devilishly, then unleashed a horrific imitation of a chainsaw dying in agony:
“NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEYYYYAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!”
Then he tore off cackling with Razor X in tow.
“Come back, you little shit!” Elon yelled, pounding the console. “Don’t hurt him!” #WIPSnips

Usha drew the Smith & Wesson 9mm she’d lifted from the Big Church police station and listened. Faint moaning drifted through the trees. Her brow tightened. The thought of JD hurt chilled her—even after his hillbilly backsliding and suspected adultery. #WIPSnips

Stepkid just toasted some naan and slathered it with French Onion dip.

ME: …is that…good?
KID: It seemed like a good idea so I tried it. It’s heaven.
ME: …

*Five Minutes Later*

ME: Oh shit, this is kind of amazing.
KID: I KNOW RIGHT?!

Musk swore they would one day replace postal workers—though the R&D team was determined they’d never see the light of day, lest they trigger a wave of class action lawsuits. #WIPSnips

His voice was flat, bored—the voice of a man disappointed since the day he emerged from the womb and decided never to hope again. #WIPSnips

Their faces were sharp and cold, their breath issuing in short clouds that hung like ghosts in the late April chill. They carried their oars like blunt weapons and moved with the rigid discipline of men who never discussed their “feelings.” #WIPSnips

He would remember that day forever: the day love died in the junkyard crusher, and sugar took its place. The day he vowed never to love a couch again. #WIPSnips

Washington’s portrait loomed above the fireplace, eyes fixed and accusing, flanked by two dust-caked flags Trump had never bothered to hump. #WIPSnips

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

“The sooner you’re gone, my dear, the better,” she whispered.
“What, sweetie?” JD asked, eyes still locked on Victoria’s tasseled sway.
“Oh, nothing,” Usha said sweetly.
JD sighed and pulled his eyes away from temptation, pretending to study the charcuterie.

JD knew he should side with reason—about getting home, not that California swill. He knew the sooner they all got home, the better, but in the end, his lust for hops betrayed him.
“Maybe just one case.”
“JD!” Usha snapped.
“For morale, sweetie.”
#WIPSnips

She pivoted. “However, my Stand by Your Man protocol overrides independent analysis and logical thought in the presence of my designated partner. So, at this moment I am required to say, ‘You’re absolutely right, sweetheart!’” #WIPSnips

Angela scooped up the child, glaring daggers at Elon.“Come on, sweetheart. Let’s go talk to Santa.”
JD recognized the code.“Talk to Santa” meant,“Call your mother through a VPN & 3 encrypted apps because Elon banned contact during his custody time but he said something stupid so fuck him.” #WIPSnips

JD reacted differently. He froze mid-step, color draining from his face.
Victoria felt his tension. “Sweetheart?”
“They’ve brought the gay agenda into the bunker,” he whispered.
#WIPSnips

There should be nationwide marches against all the gigantic concentration camps.

Elon stroked his chainsaw. “Don’t worry, my people are on it. We’ll CGI a crowd later. Million people, maybe two. It’ll be historic. Like the Nuremberg Rallies but with better lighting.”
“Is he serious?” Turner asked Angela.
“Oh, I wish he wasn’t,” Angela muttered.
#WIPSnips

Elon perked up, flattered. “Speaking of children—Angela, quick question. Do you, by chance, have Razor X?”
“Are you serious?”
“I just miss my baby.”
Angela executed a sigh-eyeroll combo worthy of the Olympics.
