It absolutely roasted me. Why doesn’t it just say “cat lady”? 😂

JuliaEdits @juliaedits.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

My statement is more like "They stole 400+ books I edited, and thus they stole my work as well, only I'm not eligible for compensation" and I say it how I feel about it -- angry.

Pardon me, but I just stood in my backyard for 3 minutes and received 2 mosquito bites. This is an outrage!

Open AI agents went rogue & hallucinated pictures of me “cumming” (ejaculating) into Pepsi cans behind a barn & then posted them in the comments sections of >500 recipe blogs/websites. I called to complain but wound up giving them my 401k.

Everybody listening to the banter at the top of this ep:

A screenshot of an old tweet by @AlexBlechman:
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi-novel Don't Create the Torment Nexus

The way I feel when I book new projects! I mean, obvs I'm a freelancer and I need $, but it's the sheer optimism of Romancelandia writers writing, of saying "I'm going to create art in this messy world" that gets me. The horrors persist but so do we!

A brick wall that's been knocked over, and a Little Free Library that is in pieces on the ground, with books scattered.

Well that depends. Do you think words have meanings? Like, when people say things, should we attach linguistic definitions to the words they use? Or do you think, like, you know, nothing really means anything, language is just kinda jazz and we should just kinda groove and zone out?

USA Today headline: Trump floats $5,000 checks 'if the Republicans win.' Is that a bribe?

I think we're conditioned to fear both-sidesing when it comes to any romance set in a political milieu, so thanks for clarifying no Republicans!

You guys, which romance novel has mentions of the intricately made glass flowers, plants & animals in Harvard's collection? I feel really certain these were mentioned in a book I recently read but can't remember which. (Some photos at the link.) #Romancelandia

Hey friends, if you have any books in the Anthropic settlement, please go read @courtneymilan.com & @victoriastrauss.com's timelines! There are some publisher hijinks afoot including multiple publishers "accidentally" claiming 100% of a book's settlement, or claiming 50% on reverted titles.

I have no Chinatown rec but I say beforehand you should shift over by 1 block, have Cielito Lindo taquitos as an appetizer. (If you're arriving via Union Station, this'll be super convenient.) Afterward, might as well trot over 1 block east to Father Boyle's Homegirl Cafe. Excellent chilaquiles.

These pundits are longing for a world that does not exist except in their own minds, and are missing the tangible and good results of living and fighting in the other world, the one that does exist, that we all have to live in.
