Jesus fuck. Yet another argument, if one were needed, for abolishing the death penalty.

Out of curiosity, I'm looking for m/f romances in which the hero does something really clumsy at their first meeting. NOT the heroine, but the hero. I'm also looking for m/f romances with a hero who's a nurse.

Tell me SOMEBODY has written a fantasy Casablanca homage about events in and around a "djinn joint." I will be terribly disappointed if they haven't (and then eagerly await someone filling that gap).

I got a steroid injection in my foot today and it hurts and I would like some candy for my brain. Please recommend a gay romance novel that is very horny. F/f or m/m, poly is fine, trans or cis, just as long as they're not straight and they fuck a bunch. Yes I have read all the Heated Rivalries

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

something about those humanoid robots reminds me of a chimpanzee. like having a chimpanzee for a butler. maybe the stature and odd gait and the lack of speech and how at any moment it could rip your face off. it's chimpanzoid more than a humanoid

If we don't get at least part of the $300 paid the car will be uninsured and the loan company will likely repo our car. We cannot let that happen. Even if they don't take it, driving without insurance is a risk we can't take! Please share or donate if you can. #helpsky 💕💸

This is an excuse, if one were needed, to yell about Nepali Breakfast, which is my favorite of all the teas on this list, which is saying *a lot* because the list is loaded with superstars. (I love cardamom so much I made sure it was a component of #BookstoreRomanceDay tea, also at Friday Tea.)

This is such a great series for anyone who loves historical mysteries. They may be marketed as Middle Grade, but their clever plots, deft characterization, & social commentary leavened with humor appeal to readers of all ages.

Bunnies re-enact the duel between Inigo and Wesley in "The Princess Bride", with a masked bunny fighting against a dashing shaggy bunny with a gold sword. The masked bunny is cornered, near the edge of a rocky cliffside, but still has a trick up his sleeve

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

Discworld QOTD, from Wintersmith

It was lonely on the hill, and cold. And all you could do was keep going. You could scream, cry, and stamp your feet, but apart from making you feel warmer, it wouldn’t do any good. You could say it was unfair, and that was true, but the universe didn’t care because it didn’t know what “fair” meant. That was the big problem about being a witch. It was up to you. It was always up to you.
