ad text: "chirp AUDIOBOOK DEAL, originally $18.99" (the $18.99 has a rather redundant strikethrough) "$2.99" with a "get deal" button that doesn't work. Also the cover of TGLOLW is up there. I do like a deal and this is a good one.

My FMCs would be true to themselves. Junior would buy something elaborate, Leigh would bake some type of traditionally Guyanese treat, and Claudia wouldn't go to a potluck unless she knew the person and that person wouldn't expect her to bring anything 🤗

They hate all of us. We must not let them divide us by deciding that some of us are sacrificial pawns that we can throw under the fascism bus. The only way to keep us all safe is to tear the fascism bus apart when it threatens any one of us.

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.

At this point, I do not know how anyone denies what is happening in Gaza unless they have no sense of morals. People are starving to death. They are being shot at when they come to get food. What else can you possibly call this but genocide?

This book takes place in the summer so its technically a North Pole romance, not so much a Christmas romance.

I said it on Threads, and I'll say it here too: Kissing in Toronto is literally all I need to know about this book. It being an Iranian story is just icing! Can't wait to read 🤗

not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!
