Sometimes, you just really need cozy reads. Sci-fi romance for fans of Galaxy Quest, Doctor Who, or Lower Decks. Fated mates, alpha heroes / heroines, paranormal abilities, a few grumpy-sunshines and close proximity...even an accidentally married. #Booksky #Ad #Romance

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

I'm very sad to share the news that our lovely @chaoticauthor.online has passed away. His ending was peaceful and surrounded with love but came far too quickly after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
I've known Matt for years. He was a warm, gentle, generous, all-weather friend. I miss him.

Looking up a synonym for beautiful, and it actually makes my eye twitch to see "symmetrical" as an option.

It turns out that the mere presence of a guy dressed as Batman is enough to turn dead inside commuters into momentary altruists.

My recommendation is Virtually Your Girl, a full-length retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac. It’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s witty, it will melt your heart! One of my top reads of 2024 and one of my only 5-star reads since I started keeping track.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Funny what happens when a society tries to memory hole a pandemic and everyone gets burnout, instead of treating it as a mass trauma event.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

It's amazing how many people damned our country to ruin because they were annoyed that they couldn't use slurs because the woke crowd wanted basic human decency.
They really are just incapable of the most basic decency, reveling in their awfulness

Whenever I use this yeast, I'll think of Fleischmann's kindness. Great short thread about bread lines.
Also:
The sight of silent men queuing in the dark became an emblem of hardship in an era often remembered only for opulence.
His small act of compassion helped inspire later food-relief efforts and forever shaped how we visualize public hunger.

In the Victorian era, a baker unintentionally created a symbol of poverty: the bread line.
Louis Fleischmann noticed men gathering outside, huddling against the warmth that drifted from his ovens. Moved by their condition, he carried out trays of unsold bread.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
