Happy pride :) go listen to two women fall in love The season finale of CHEF’S KISS is officially up. Directing and producing this audio rom-com was a bright spot in an already bright spring. I’m so proud of everyone involved. Go binge! open.spotify.com/episode/00mb...

I named Kia’s teacher after my English teacher, Mr. Hillis. And he came to my Portland event! He remembers so many details of how I was in the classroom, which makes me so emotional because he shaped so much of the writer I became. Thank you, Mr. Hillis. Thank you, teachers.

My two Lyfts in San Francisco have been teslas and sitting in the back of those things I have never been more carsick in my LIFE. I felt every bump, every wobble, felt like I was in a Flintstones vehicle.

More than 20 years (and over 80 published novels) later, and with another "Princess Diaries" book and movie on the way, Meg Cabot remains a powerhouse. Story by @alannabennett.bsky.social:

Thank Goodness for Meg Cabot

Over 20 years after the first “Princess Diaries,” the writer is still sticking up for romance.

I fear it may come to pass.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from AB (@AlannaBennett
). The tweet reads: "THE person who said Grey’s Anatomy will outlive our democracy was really onto something". Below the tweet, there is a nested tweet from Variety (@Variety
) posted 22 hours ago, which says: "‘Grey’s Anatomy’ has been renewed for Season 22 at ABC. variety.com/2025/tv/news/9…". Accompanying the nested tweet is an image of Ellen Pompeo with blonde hair wearing a black top over a striped shirt, with another person in the background.

My mom’s a midwife. I grew up coming out of my room in the morning to her watching GRAPHIC BIRTH VIDEOS on our TV. I have NEVER seen ANYTHING on TV even remotely like the incredibly accurate birth scene they showed on The Pitt. I texted my mom immediately.
