It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.

Remember today’s AWS outage the next time you go after indie authors for using Amazon. There is no way to fully avoid Amazon as a small business owner or internet user.

Trying to learn more about romantasy.

• Does it have to have a dragon?
• Is it always set in the past?
• Recs for dragon-less romantasy?
• Recs for dragon romantasy based on Asian diasporic mythology?

[Small vent: every fantasy book should have maps and glossaries w phonetic spellings]

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This week's episode of Rebel Ever After is up early!

Elissa Sussman and I talked about "older" romance heroines, widow tropes that need to be retired, and why being horny rules.

Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/4AcN...
“There are 30-year-old men who fall in love with 42-year-old women. Chemistry, sexuality, attraction are out of our hands. TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FINE pushes back on the idea that it has to be this huge deal when a 30-year-old man falls in love with a 42-year-old woman... that something must be extraordinary about her, or she must have the body of a 20-year-old or the tits of a goddess.” - Elissa Sussman

If you love romance novels featuring vampires who are kinda vain but in an endearing way, capable heroines who valiantly attempt to battle zombies with a burrito as a weapon, and unapologetic horniness during the apocalypse, @oliviawrites.bsky.social's ZOMROMCOM is for you. And I have the scoop!!

This week on Rebel Ever After, publisher Nina Haines and I gossiped about sapphic representation in romance and her new imprint with Bindery.

Listen to this premium episode on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/posts/132917...
"I hate the argument, 'I can't be friends with or date bisexual women because they center men.' You are centering men in your rejection of bisexual women! It's always 'gender is a social construct' until a bisexual woman dates a man. It's always 'everybody is a little bit gay' until a bisexual woman dates a man.'" - Nina Haines
