What I did: Expressed fondness for that audacious ginger harlot, Tava Ren

LQS: Last Quote Skeet

The burrow: No, it is made of dirt because badgers don’t have opposable thumbs or knowledge of carpentry

But I would definitely make it cozy for your visits 😘

LQS: I remain, as ever, the most cancellable of the Reylos, it’s fine. (But if @denzerwriter.bsky.social ever leaves me I *will* move to a abandoned badger burrow)

If your electricity rates are spiking, it's because of tariffs -- especially in New England, which gets a lot of its power from Canada -- and the proliferation of data centers.

Not liberals or Democrats, not renewables failing to live up to their promise. Tariffs and AI data centers.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

I had so much fun chatting with @spiderswarz.bsky.social about The Aroosi Arrangement, representation in romance and finally becoming scandalous in my 30s 😂

Check it out!

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

my husband loves john oliver so i’m glad this week’s ep is about bari weiss and I got to tell him of the time I got booked to debate her live on stage in nyc and the organizers went bankrupt so I got paid without actually needing to interact with her, aka the greatest thing that has ever happened

There absolutely should be more romance in Star Wars. In any format. With more pairings.

Because that's always been the story!

I think it's pretty great that horny shippers and genre luminaries have saved publishing in a time where everything that *isn't* reading a book just steamrolls our attention. They don't get nearly the plaudits they deserve.

Indeed! It’s by the wonderful Ashley Poston:

Caveat: This applies to *fiction* only . People who try to publish race science, grifty “self-help” poison, or anti-trans lies deserve to be shunned and have their trash pulped for guinea pig litter.

People should be able to write, publish, and read ANYTHING they want - yes, even splatterpunk, even Daddy’s Little Treasure - without suffering negative consequences. “Don’t like, don’t read” is a sufficient, complete and final response to those who argue otherwise.
