Elia Winters has some good non monogamous books, as does Hannah Murray.

Love this book! But heads-up, the discounted pricing doesn’t seem to be in effect on any of those platforms right now.

If you tap the horses they will jump!

I had a whole thread about the Minnesota Dildo Rebellion yesterday, which I ended with famous quotes about revolution updated to the current moment. I was very proud of my work, but I think only one person saw them. BEHOLD MY WORK, BLUESKY.

Yes and to be clear, not at all criticizing Sean for using it! The narrative of the article doesn’t make sense for diving deep on that.

Just, y’know, needed to say out loud how much work that knack is 💜

All hail the chaos!

It is an excellent opening line to an excellent article!

And whoo boy does it feel like “knack” deeply under-describes the decades of work both of you have put into showing up for your work and your communities, honing the skills that draw attention.

Just finished Grim’s Delight by Abigail Kelly, a vampire-centered fantasy romance in an alt-north America setting. I really enjoy the way she explores distinct cultures in different groups (vampires, elves, weres, witches, etc).

The journalist is the one who wrote the story?? Why would we be critical of the story without considering the journalist’s choices that created the story?

I’m not reposting stories from that disreputable rag.

I did, however, finish my 22nd romance this year — in KU, written by a godsdamned HUMAN.

We’re going to win.

The illustrated cover of Zomromcom by Olivia Dade. The Zomromcom cover shows and man and woman standing back to back with zombie hands reaching for them from all around; she's carrying a cleaver, and he's carrying a sword.

If you are a “lawyers fucking up in court” enjoyer, you may like this thread, where a judge said that the lawyer’s approach to research was “redolent of Rube Goldberg”

This is a hilarious post AND as your local zoo enjoyer, I am obligated to inform you that Detroit in fact has an awesome zoo with *two* tigers!

A promotional poster for the event, with a headshot photo of author Mazey Eddings (a smiling, gorgeous white woman with shoulder-length light brown hair) and the cover of her most recent book: Well, Actually.

I am *delighted* that I got asked to be “in conversation with” the brilliant Mazey Eddings this Friday (2/6) evening at 6pm at the Tustin Library! @mazeyeddings.bsky.social

Come join us!

(I am not on socials much anymore and am grateful to any who can amplify this in SoCal bookish networks)

Lookit that soft wrinkly bruiser 🥹

Yes yes yes, the destruction was so over the top and just….no emotional beat to that whatsoever.

We watched THE WRECKING CREW because I love action comedies and I like almost everyone in the cast and the Hawaiian setting is lovely.

What a deeply unpleasant, predictable mess. Some good action, otherwise hard to watch. Sad.

Yes, same. There was so much potential in the setup, but the tone was all wrong.

You know what, kudos to whoever named those guys, that’s exactly what I imagined a gold dust firebelly newt would look like!

Oh, puppy no!

Stop telling me what that small mammal saw, hoping for spring is my emotional support delusion.

my hand holding 5 small whistles in cool color combos: a sweet bisexual, a northern lights, a lemon & lime, a pastel rainbow, and a flame colored one.

Two tiny articulated T-Rex desk friends. One is 3d printed in a rainbow gradient, the other in teal and purple. They both have white spots and pink hearts along their backs.

A set of four round coasters with a kraken-adjacent creature waving his arms through some decorative seaweed. They come in pink, purple, blue, and green.

Just a reminder that while we did finally add the whistles to our shop, we also sell many other cool things and would love to send them to you!

I'm scheduling this thread to post some of my favorite shop things while I'm off doing Whistle Stuff!

Ugh, migraines are so frustrating. I hope it clears up soon!

Yes!! I started doing some a few months ago and it has been helping.

Ooooh yay, I hope you enjoy!!

Definitely saw a romance author today talk about how they were spoiled by HR in their reaction thread to new Bridgerton.

I’m not sure if they want to be shared more broadly for that take, so not going to link or tag, but I’ve seen it affecting reactions already.

That does not look like a place where people live

Our friends in the twin cities probably didn't expect to wake up to an empty wish list, but they have added some more requests now!

You know what would really piss off the weirdos? pop-up leftist supply depot fuzzy socks. 💓

Abolish ICE. But also consider and interrogate things you may believe are default to this society, like borders, incarceration, unimaginable wealth, conditional humanity.
