An ebook reader displays a book cover. The image on the cover consists of two White men in vintage suits standing close together. One of the men is blond, wears silver glasses, and is holding a large tome. The other man has dark hair and is holding onto the edges of his suit coat. In the background is a city scape at night, with a comet in the sky above. The scene is contained in a frame of yellowed paper with black tentacles reaching onto it. Cover text reads: Rath & Rune 1, Unhallowed, A Novel of Widdershins, Jordan L. Hawk. The ebook reader is on a dark blue background, offset by a light blue square. Text reads: free on Kobo, February 16-23. Murder. Monsters. Librarians.

Can a bookbinder with a secret and a librarian stop an evil book from being unleashed on the world?

HOW COULD THE PITT DO THIS TO ME?

The cover of Netherford hall on a berry colored background, which says 50% off audiobook

A photo of a cat under a bed with a rotisserie chicken with the caption: This is Beans. Beans stole a while rotisserie chicken off the counter. Not a piece. The whole chicken. Beans dragged it under the bed and growled at us for forty minutes. Beans is 9 pounds.

Coral background with faint heart illustrations. A glossy male Blackbird with a bright yellow bill faces left. Large title reads: “Birds as bad exes*” Smaller text reads: “*Yes, you read that right.”

Happy Valentine’s Day, from us to you. Tag your exes. Xoxox

Paying this little for any of the Queens of Fate books by @natania.bsky.social is a crime, but if that’s what it takes for you all to start reading them then I’ll allow it.

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Disabled people are part of the future.
We must and should imagine and dream of futures where disabled people don't just exist but are everywhere, as we should be.
This need to fix/cure all disability is a eugenicist dreaming, and we should want better for ourselves.

Booooooo that sucks balls

Why do I leave my house? Everything out there is expensive and shitty.

This reminds me I need to go buy new toner today.

Today, in a meeting full of managers, our HR person recommended asking AI for some reasons why our staff may be struggling if they have performance problems.

Yeah, I'm not going to outsource empathy to AI when managing my staff. Horrifying.

Uppies: Need a ride? We'll pick you up.

Honestly, if people are okay with reading AI works, why would they pay Coral Hart or anyone else for them? Just feed what you want to read about into your own AI and make your own story.

Picture of a digital display that reads: Drink of the Month - ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID. Absolut Citron, fresh lemon juice, hibiscus simple syrup, egg white, and malbec wine float.

Stopped into a random sports bar and

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

This is insulting to readers. It assumes that they will read any terrible quality slop they are handed & be grateful.

This woman is not a writer, she does not care about being a writer, & she does not care about art. She cares about making easy money and found a population she felt she could dupe.

A sign says “bookstore” above a window, inside the right shelving is all black and the left is all pink. One side of the window says Hopeless Romantic Bookstore, the other sports the Little Ghosts ghost logo on top of a stack of books.

The rumours are TRUE!

There is a Romance x Horror bookstore PopUp in Union station running from now until May 31st. This great little space, shared between us and Hopeless Romantic Books, is the pink/black bookstore of your dreams.

Come by say hi on your next commute!

Unpopular opinion: this is my favorite season of Bridgerton. I wish it had the production value of the first season but I'll take it.

I also completely recognize this is super biased by the fact that Benedict Bridgerton is 112% my type.

I have been watching this shift and been so sad about it. Heading to a Friends of the Library sale today to see what the recent past may have to offer.
