Picking locks is a bit like discovering what makes a lover come undone; it requires patience, focus, and a dash of magic. Luckily for Ness, she happens to have all three.

Can anyone recommend a Romance-themed or Romance-friendly bookstore in Alabama, preferably toward the north? Looking to do a driving tour of the South to celebrate Books & Bewitchment this February. 🐿️

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!
"anti-AI people should just learn more about it" motherfucker I know so much about it, that's why I'm anti-AI

It never fails to fill my heart with joy when little kids come into the library excited for “books, books, books!”

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars
Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Thanks to my friend James Horton, I have just discovered the work of Danish painter of Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859-1941) and HOW CAN A PERSON NEARLY A HUNDRED YEARS AGO PAINT SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PHOTO ON AN IPHONE WHAT IS THIS ABSOLUTE SORCERY.

Take it from a longtime editor/author/musician: no legitimate publisher/agent/book club/record label will ask you for money to work with you. Anyone who does is scamming and won’t do anything for you.
Thanks! I might be ambitious and make it with fresh pumpkin because I dislike canned pumpkin and last year I tried and liked pumpkin tassies someone made using fresh pumpkin.

Adelita Grijalva won her special election on September 23rd.

Speaker Mike Johnson still hasn’t sworn her in.

She’s being prevented from governing.

Why? Because she’s the deciding vote to release the Epstein files.

Learn her name.

Call your reps and demand she be sworn in.
I wrote 1,400 words today and finished Ch. 31 😎

i get so much value from @silviamg.bsky.social's publishing threads (buy her books!), so i figured i'd follow in her footsteps with some transparency here 🧵
SO LET THEM BURN and THIS ENDS IN EMBERS (yes, both!) have earned out.

SO LET THEM BURN, my debut novel, came out a year ago. THIS ENDS IN EMBERS completed the duology in February. And now every time someone buys a copy in any format, I earn royalties.

I can't stop crying. Thank you so much.
Eyes flaring with desire, Melirin sinks her teeth into Ness’ bottom lip. The pairing of pain and pleasure heightens both feelings, raising the hairs on her arms. She drags her mouth down Melirin’s neck, biting her and then soothing the mark with a kiss.
