Okay, it's time for a proper intro thread, not just the one I whacked up there during the workday.

I'm Adele, I'm a law librarian by day and romance author by night. I talk occasionally about a bunch of stuff but a lot about books.

I'm about to talk about my books!
I've had an uptick in consult requests where the "research question" is something like: "Constitutional law."

I don't love kicking these back to students, but geez...
Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

I too find myself wondering about this
I wanna fucking know how many people circling the wagons for Platner right now adamantly refused to vote for Harris last year because a tactical alliance with Liz Cheney was morally beyond the pale. I’ll bet that Venn diagram’s bigger than zero.

Why is this a debate? Why is this an analysis? Why are we discussing his motivations or the reasoning behind why he has it or why he kept it? (These are all rhetorical questions.)

Nazi tattoo = you’re done.

It’s literally that simple. There’s no nuance or further conversation needed.
Inject it into the vein next to the vein containing character 1 saying, "Beautiful" re: a landscape and character 2 agreeing, but looking at character 1.
I just threw up in my mouth.
🎶 MAKE tonight a Nazi-full thing...
I've got you, my friend. I cackled.
When one character doesn't know they're crying until the other wipes under their eyes.

Platner actually says in the clip something like "I've been out in public with this tattoo at the beach, at pools, at locker rooms, and nobody's ever called me a Nazi."

How is the next sentence not "And now I can't stop thinking about all the people who I scared and made feel unsafe."

good morning! saturday i posted an image from harper's magazine that said people who registered to take the LSAT in september 2024 vs. september 2025 went from 18,811 to 32,170, citing LSAC

the actual LSAC numbers are 18,811 to 23,593--a substantial uptick but far less crazy
I always wanted more narrative arcs in music videos and this one was just perfection.
Still the best music video of all time.
Oh you’re reminding me why Lauren Bl@kely ended up on my “never buy again” list.
Illinois is not coastal
Oh, and to piggyback on OP, my accent is usually far better than my actual command of the language.
I wanna try something!

ppl are often surprised at my ability to sound like a native even if I don't understand the language, and I've always said that's my superpower!

Now be it always successfully opening jars or falling asleep in under 5 minutes no matter what..

what is your silly superpower?
There's a dude on Insta whose whole schtick is folding a fitted sheet shirtless and the fact that the very act of doing that is a sexy thing.
Some of the *shiniest* ideas are paper thin and can only support a short story.
It would have to go from things like nazi and fascist to elderly with an eyebrow raise.

It would, honestly, kill.
99 percent of the time I can select the exact Tupperware container for the leftovers.

Also, I can fold a fitted sheet.

Oh. I’ve arrived, I guess. Just received my first ai generated “YOU ARE SO AMAZING PAY ME TO PROMOTE YOU!!!” Email
Also, the other real work is “is this a good idea for a short story or is it the scaffolding for a novel?” Because those are vastly different things.
