Why do so many men think, “She made my wiener twitch! I must let her know that! I bet she’ll be so proud!” We don’t want to know that from complete strangers. We usually don’t want to hear it from people we actually know. Keep it in your pants and in your brain.

I’m seeing insta-lust get described as body betrayal in a growing number of posts. For the record, body betrayal is specific to dubcon/noncon. Being hot for someone without knowing/otherwise liking them is very different!

I just finally crossed off a to-do list item many months in the making 😂 I added a media page to my website, and it is plain af in appearance but it feels amazing to see how fortunate I’ve been already as an author. 🥹 I love our community so much.

Every so often I remember the angry customer I helped back in the early days of cell phones who said her phone never rang. I discovered she was powering it down to save the battery; she believed incoming calls would turn the device on automatically. What is common was once practically magic.

Alt: The adorably pouty porg face shall express my feelings at discovering zero gifs for Rian Johnson’s first masterpiece, Brick. Wtf gif search? I do love The Last Jedi, though, so it’s all good. Jk not all good, salty af. Brick is one of the most brilliantly written, beautifully acted, exquisitely crafted, stylish yet substantial films in history. And not a single gif. SMH.

I have followed the instructions to disable Gemini, and yet, there is still an enraging "help me write" prompt when I go to start an email. The machines really are trying to kill us, and this is the proof. My blood pressure is spiking. Why won't it go tf away!

I have a longstanding habit of finding things to look forward to in the entertainment world to keep me going when life gets especially hard. This year, Sunrise on the Reaping and Mission: Impossible-Dead Reckoning Part Two are everything to me. The power of a beloved series.

a man with blue eyes says sit down
Alt: Cillian Murphy in Red Eye, awakening the dark romance fan in us all. In this moment, he is calmly instructing his victim to sit down. For the purpose of the gif, someone has clearly made his powerfully blue eyes even more intensely blue, and I’m not complaining.

Good idea, why not! I wrote my first novel at 45, also involving a zombie apocalypse 😁 I heard a voice actor perform dialogue I’d written, and I fell in love with his voice. It took up residence in my head, creating a character whose voice I want to listen to forever and write down every word.

All Stargate fans dream of our beloved show coming back at last, and I just had an epiphany: Get new fans into Stargate SG-1 via the dark romance tropes running rampant ahead of their time. Yes, Carter’s parade of questionable love interests is the key. 1/
