And anyway nobody ever thinks of themselves as normal; everyone knows in their heart they’re a weird little freak with problems no one has ever had before facing improbable trials, so why shouldn’t they relate to your photophobic harpist obsessed with the gravedigger who betrayed him?

Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.

But it's dangerous work trying to get to you, too
And I think if I didn't have to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you

A Fine Line by Penelope Guinn is a delicious feast of a small town romance that pairs well with pulled pork sandwiches, mac n' cheese, fried okra, and sweet tea. It has my vote! @danaripleywrites

@penguinnwrites.bsky.social's A Fine Line captures southern small town life perfectly, and it shows the hope, joy, and dedication people put into building a better future.

And the romance? If you like smart characters, sharp banter, and have a competence kink, this one's for you!

5/5

thank you!!!

I think this is key to the Dark Heart tm of american psychosis right now...everyone Else is out to get my kids/tax money/job/social benefits + i can do anything I want but other people should Not etc

screencap from the above link: I have found this problem fairly endemic to the romcomantasy (eh? eh?) subgenre to which McCallum’s debut belongs. Oh, I am so tired of reading book after book where nobody has ever done a single thing wrong, or, even if they have, it was all a terrible misunderstanding. I cannot bear these characters with personalities as smooth as Ken dolls, who run dear little retail shops in interchangeable Fantasylands and placeless middle Americas, unbothered by problems of inventory or human frailty. I am going to chew right through the bars of my enclosure, and go rampaging all around the countryside, if I am called upon to read one more book where a character’s big secret finally comes out, and the other character is like: “No problem, babe, I know your heart, and I understand that, while you initially had a scheme to sabotage my dreams, you changed your mind over the course of our courtship. Due to the trust we have built together, I understand this perfectly without your having to explain it.”

The mind goes from "a very well done adaptation of a comfort read that I need nothing else from" to "CNC brainworms" so quickly...

I am proud to have caused such domestic strife and Lego freedom to roam in the Denzer household !!🫡🫡🫡

That’s the problem. Everyone assumed consent was good. And it is, but in Ilya Rozanov’s hands, it became something else. Something twisted, something – almost evil.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

The year is 2015. Pete Hegseth recklessly hits a man on live TV with a throwing ax.

The year is 2019. Pete Hegseth declares he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years and doesn't believe in germs.

The year is 2026. Pete Hegseth, now with the power of the U.S. military at his fingertips...

the absolute BLOODLUST of it all is so depressing...you used to have to pretend to care about the dead soldiers at the end of it

This is a good response.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.
