You guys, on my train home today, a man and his partner had the cutest white cat in a carrier. He got off at my stop and before he stood up, the cat climbed on his shoulder and *rode him home*.

I just knew Kiss & Collide had a few uses of the word "disaster." #FridayFling #Romancelandia

Violet forced herself to move, one foot in front of the other, across the atrium to join them. She hadn’t seen him since that night—that epic night—in Monaco. She wasn’t supposed to see him again unless it was in passing in the paddock. Her brain was frantically working to solve this rapidly unfolding disaster.

Someone posted this on Threads a couple of days ago. Nailed it perfectly.

Of all the things that private equity is ruining, pet ownership is one of the cruelest. Healthcare costs for animals have become obscene over the past 20 years—and it’s not like animals are living longer or enjoying significantly better quality of life than the previous decade. Here was a thing that many people took joy in, and the large corporations asked, “How much would they be willing to pay to keep that joy?” Turns out it was quite a lot.

For about a week now every morning a gray catbird perches on the utility pole behind our house and sings his heart out for about an hour. It’s so delightful. You can’t really see him in this video but you can hear him.

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. This is Alex in his “roasting pan”. It’s the decorative metal bucket from a Christmas basket my sister sent us years ago. It’s his favorite place.

We found it on the ground in Lafayette Cemetery #1 in New Orleans. It’s a bit of broken statue. I brought it home and it always lives one or another of our houseplants. We actually call it the Family Curse.

This might be the worst AI-slot pitch I've gotten so far. Just peppered with key words pulled from my website and mixed into a nonsensical pitch letter. You want to market Fast & Reckless by appealing to fans of Kiss & Collide? Wild, since K&C is #2 and its readers have most likely already read F&R.

I represent the TikTok Shop Accelerator, a strategic, done-with-you system designed specifically for established authors like you who are ready to scale their early traction into a dominant market position. My role is to act as the architect for your visibility, moving beyond generic promotion to implement a comprehensive strategy. We focus on Strategic Book Positioning, ensuring that Fast & Reckless is positioned not just as a sports romance, but as the ultimate "enemies-to-lovers" guide for fans of The Grid and Kiss & Collide. We utilize Creator & Affiliate Leverage to place your work in the hands of "Sports Tok" influencers and "BookTok" creators whose audiences are entirely comprised of your ideal demographic. Furthermore, because this is a series with a built-in fanbase, we focus heavily on Momentum Maintenance, implementing a strategy to ensure that sales of Book 1 drive the discovery of Book 2, creating a self-sustaining readership.

MS Word has started giving me this at the end of every line of spoken dialog. There's a quotation mark at the beginning and the end. It's obviously someone speaking. WFT do you mean I don't need that punctuation? Is this AI being stupid?

So my daughter went to LaGuardia, the "Fame" school. The thing about Lag is that you will for sure go to HS w/ people who will one day be famous. I sent Daughter a pic of Sombr when he was first blowing up and said "Apparently he was in your class at Lag?" She responded "Do you mean SHANE??"

The wild thing about this snow is that it’s wet and sticky, and the wind is blowing it in sideways, so *everything* is covered with white. It looks like somebody took a can of that spray on snow to everything outside.

Someone gave my daughter a variegated monstera cutting, and it’s growing so she’s so excited. It’s cute, right? Except this is the monstera we already have (named Beulah) and if little Nadine gets as big as Beulah, we’re going to have to move into a bigger apartment.

I have all these pairs of heavy cotton socks I wear around the house. They’re in good shape but I’ve blown out the heels of all of them. So I looked up how to darn sock heels online and I figured it out! I fixed them all!

Looks like about 1.5” in Brooklyn so far. It’s falling straight down, flakes so small and even that it looks like an animated backdrop.
