AI detection software, made out of genAI by the same dipshits making genAI, is being targeted at Black writers so that an Arday can happen but with no human able to be held accountable.

Making a few tiny candles to test new scents. I feel like a witch brewing potions.

Anyway, I'm currently at capacity with reading, what with the Brontë workshop I'm leading and the podcast chats I'm preparing for. But I miss romance, and I was away from #romancelandia for almost a year. What books should I give a chance to? Feel free to recommend your own!

Eight confirmed guests! Including several authors, an editor, a professor, a bookseller, and a very prestigious translator

This is horrifying. And the fact that his estate agreed? I'd come back from the dead to haunt them.

Someone please explain to me why I decided I wanted to have a full time job, a small business, teach a literary workshop, and start a podcast (two, once @jackiebarbosa.bsky.social and I start ours 🥳) I love it all 🤭

If you're in the UK, for just 9 more days, you can scoop up the ebook of my cozy-spooky fantasy rom-com Wooing the Witch Queen for only 99p! www.panmacmillan.com/authors/step... & of course it's still available everywhere else, too: stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen #romancelandia

In the centre of this image is the beautiful British cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. The illustration shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sangu Mandanna reads: ‘Warm and lovely’
Around the image, against a starry night background, are various pieces of text connected to it by arrows. They read: “bi villainous heroine,” “sweet cinnamon-roll hero with a fake identity,” “crow friends,” “found family,” and “flirting with fountains pens.” At the bottom of the image are the words: Only 99p this September!

My Instagram algorithm has decided I want to see nothing but RF Kuang's writing advice. For once, the algorithm is correct.

What's wild is that folks then wonder why the kids don't have motivation, energy, drive, interest in x or y or z. Even the people who purport to care about their future make it clear they don't care about their future.

Every day I give thanks for working at a public school that couldn't buy AI products if it wanted to. It's bad enough that ALL my coworkers and students use it, if they tried to force me to I'd lose my shit.

One of the many lovely things about being a regular at a coffee shop is that sometimes you get free food or drinks. Yesterday they gave me a double espresso. Today, a slice of carrot cake.

Damn, this blew up. 🫪 Got nothing beyond this: value human creativity, problem solving, and the capacity to dream. Go make something bad, and get excited for how you can make it better next time. 🤘💙🤘

This should immediately disqualify a reviewer and end their employment.

Going to make my first batch of test candles for the spring/summer line today. Fingers crossed the blends smell as good in the wax as they do on my scent strips!

Coming up with the spring/summer line for my little candle shop is so fun. Added benefit is that it makes my apartment smell like a meadow in bloom.

On a different note, the thing about deactivating and coming back is that none of my mutuals remember me, so I'm essentially shouting into the void 🤭

I have the afternoon off, so I can *probably* squeeze in working on my business (launching in less than a month!), my novel, and podcast #1.

Made the decision last night to take a giant leap of faith, and now my entire body is like, what if we give anxiety top billing today?
