I am begging LibreOffice to make word count easily visible. One tiny change and I'm yours!!

The cover of "The Summer After: a post-apocalyptic hurt/comfort slow burn novella" by T.C. Mill shows a woman kissing a man in silhouette against a vivid sunset

It feels like an awkward time to promote a post-apocalyptic erotic romance novel, but then I guess that's always the risk... And setting a story after a nonspecific apocalypse is a way to explore some intense themes around loneliness, vulnerability, and comfort!

I hope it's as cathartic and sweet (and as the kids say these days, 🌶️ spicy 🔥) to read as it was to write!

THE SUMMER AFTER is up for preorder now, comes out on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited on March 12, and will be released widely in a few months.

🥰Seriously, so much trust and tenderness
🥀She’s survived religious + family trauma and he’s survived violence he isn’t able to talk about just yet (his scars tell their own story)
🤓They also have to deal with the practicalities of needing glasses and contact lenses after the end of the world

If I may gush further:
😭Sweet, wounded cinnamon roll of an MMC
😔Bisexual FMC who knows how to please herself, but is lonelier than she can admit
😍Finding refuge in each other
🔥As trust grows between them, so does the yearning
❤️Healing sex so tender it feels kind of kinky
🫶Nonpenetrative sex FTW

Re: "slow burn," 8,600 words of emotional buildup + tension before the first sex scene was a hard sell for conventional erotica. But it got in the 2018 Seattle Erotic Art Festival's Literary Art Anthology! This new ebook version has been expanded (with an additional sex scene!) to 19,000 words.

Recap of the last 10-11 hours:

Ops commenced at 8:00 AM local time. The US opened with TLAM strikes. This was followed by a combined Israel/US aerial campaign. It is believed that at the start, the US was going after missile bases and facilities and Israel went after leadership and high command.

The United States government has shown more violence to DHS than any group of citizens with whistles.

I say this as neither praise nor discouragement, just an observation.

put it on a T-shirt. It's got to be.

I don't think people have really grappled with what the mass decline of violent crime in the US has meant for the economic ecosystem of superheroes, which is rapidly approaching a demographic cliff, as street-level crimefighting becomes a thing of the past, and avenues for promotion dry up.

I once drunkenly walked into the archives station late in the evening and someone was blasting the GoT theme on 90’sesque boombox. One of the most beautiful and unsettling moments of my life.

"I'm the Democratic National Convention Committee and I approve this message"

There are occasions when omniscient is an excellent choice, but the poorly done version is so easy to find that it's soured me on the whole thing.

READ THEORY!

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

"the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building."

Never forget. Never forgive.

What was done by everyone involved in or cheering the killing of USAID is too horrific & pure in its cruelty to internalize the scope of. It is a betrayal that demands we this year and in the years to come, demands we find what minuscule measure of justice that we can.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

I use it on a personal laptop and it was enabled by default. Hadn't been used because I'm not near my storage limit, luckily, but thanks for the heads up!

Snow shovel socialism. Is this a thing.

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

People don't realise the real impact of the worker's rights bill. My subs have unionised! They're demanding worse treatment and fewer rights.

Whenever a man says this, they’re mad that women are having sex on their own terms

Last spring, a young teen came in with their mom to a place where I was volunteering (renovated old house) and said "Wow! This is like the Backrooms!" and I was so proud to get the reference.

Fucking hell.

This story is gutting and a reminder that every single person thrown in a concentration camp or deported represents a life abruptly interrupted and changed forever.
