I'm begging YouTubers to use classical pieces besides Erlkönig. There's hundreds of years of history, thousands of pieces of music. Use literally anything else. Half the time y'all don't even time your rants with the end of the piece so it loses its potency.

My girlfriend introduced me to this concept of theming your monthly reads as a way to actually read through your physical TBR pile. Introducing ☀️Endless Summer August ☀️ I picked four books about sunshine, vacations, and all things summer! Check the thread to learn more about what I'm reading!

I'm not usually one for weaponizing copyright infringement but it would be really great if the Tolkein Estate could just sue the war mongering money out of Peter Thiel.

Not to give Kalshi ideas but have thought about framing their gambling website like those scoop games to entice the girlies? Like "hey ladies bet on Taylor Swift's wedding and get three stationary scoops on us! Plus a golden egg wheel spin if you guessed the color of her gown!"

I've been pitching the romance side of CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS FOR LONELY HEARTS, so here's the science side. Apologies for profanity. My character's just like that. #UnhingedPit #A #R #SF #Q (almost) Uh, if any chemists look at this, please excuse my terrible electrochemical cell. Oops.
Two chemical formulae I don't want to write here without the ability to do sub- and superscripts. They're both about producing ammonia from nitrogen gas.

Then there's a (terribly incorrect) sketch of an electrochemical cell and the words "project fertile-as-fuck".

Then "Will a pressure cooker work?"

Finally, a picture of a bomb exploding and the word "BOOM!" followed by "Just kidding, George")

Went to the Ashnikko concert in DC last night. While we were waiting in line to get in, this older woman who was dressed like she hadn't left Georgetown since the Obama years comes up to my boyfriend, wearing heels and a crop top that said 'God's favorite twink' and politely asked us what's going on

Honestly, nothing prepares you for the Query Trenches more than being a theatre kid. Learning how to handle rejection, how to pitch, how to pivot, how to take and give criticism WITHOUT hurting someone's feelings! Should you take another class or should you just do Seussical?

So Daniel Radcliffe is leaving "Every Brilliant Thing" on Broadway. I love Mariska Hargitay as much as the next girlie BUT they should have just replaced him with Elijah Wood and seen how long it took people to notice.

"Our culture is not your costume!"
A screenshot of a Washington Post article that says "For actual Horse Girls, this trend can't end soon enough" from the opinion piece: The style world has declared it "Horse Girl Fall," but our passions are never out of season.For whatever reason? Look, it's not a mystery. Horse Girl is not style but culture.

The best part of this 2 hour video is that it's actually 4 hours when you and your husband stop it every 5 minutes to say "and another thing!" Also just a great video and worth the watch.

In case anyone was wondering here you can find a list of the charitable causes the Tolkein Trust (and by extension estate) sponsor. You will notice it's mostly about helping refugees and basically nothing about being a dick to transpeople. tolkiengateway.net/wiki/The_Tol...

This is a great argument against extreme wealth. Like 3 people from your past trying to gently tell you you're being a huge weirdo *should* end with you going to therapy or crying over a glass of wine. It should NOT end with you using your wealth to erase their identities and rewrite UK law.

I've got a Regency poly romance that I've been kicking around for awhile trying to figure how all the pieces fit together. I have an interconnected trilogy of contemporary queer romances brewing, featuring high school teachers who are less Abbott Elementary and more FX's English Teacher.

This is so disingenuous. First of all it's not "corporate" publishing. It's Traditional publishing. What this info graphic neglects to tell you is that if you self publish you pay all the up front cost. Whereas money flows to the author in traditional publishing. That's why royalties are lower. 🧵

So if you'd asked me this a couple of months ago I would have said 2 cats and a rabbit. And then the cat distribution system distributed some cats. Now I'm sort of embarrassed to say. But here's some cute photos. Fun fact! All my pets are named after Shakespeare characters!
Two kittens: on the left is a small tabby named Hermia. She is wearing a space themed soft cone because she is recovering from her spay surgery. She is snuggling with a tuxedo kitten named LysanderRobbin Bunfellow the English Spot Rabbit is snuggling with Ferdinand the orange tabby Miranda the tortoiseshell cat. Snuggling her human on the couch. She is the grand dame of the household

How many television plot lines in the US wouldn't exist if we just had universal healthcare? I know, Breaking Bad. But it's a sub plot of Virgin River! The Netflix romance show! It was a season arc of The Good Doctor. Like we need universal healthcare now, if only to get some fresh ideas in TV.

Oh, how I struggled with this one! I love this quote because it conveys the banter between my FMC and her love interests. I hope you enjoy it as well! #RevPitWaiting
This is a quote from THREE'S THE SEASON, my offering for this year's RevPit. The quote that I pulled from my manuscript is, ""I mean I think you're crazy because we went to law school together when Four Lokkos were still legal. But this," Dax gestures towards the tri-board and then to the hole in the wall. "is understandable.""
The quote is on a beige background and framed by a red Christmas ornament on the bottom left and a Santa hat on the top right to allude to the Christmas setting of the book.

THREE'S THE SEASON for cookies, Christmas, and steamy sapphic shenanigans! Check out my mood board for my manuscript!
a mood board for the manuscript: Three's the Season. The mood board is on a holly themed background and features photos of Washington DC at Christmas time. As well as scenes of a Christmas tree farm. Two pictures one of three hands and the other of three forks, allude to the polyamorous themes of the novel.
