Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

It's great how watching sexual harassment training videos makes my heart rate & blood pressure soar, still not over the events of 15 yrs ago. My body still thinks its in danger. I want to put these people on blast & write about my experience, but I feel no one is interested in these stories anymore.

♥️ this quote @robertarjoyan.bsky.social it’s why we write to have these conversations with ourselves first, if we are lucky enough to have other people read our stuff, it allows them to think about it & we talk about it, acknowledge that this ought to be discussed www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrnP...

This is article lays out a very important form of leverage the people around the world can use against evil megalomaniac Elon Musk. A Tesla boycott is essential right now. If you own a Tesla, please sell it.

Hey pro authors & editors, you can switch your MS Word subscription to one that does NOT include AI for the same rate they used to offer. (They're charging more for subscriptions and not telling you they're actually forcing you to opt into the new one with AI) IF you still need to use MS

They are a huge help to us at our bookstore. We know our rep. He helps us with our mediocre tech skills. We talk about how much we enjoy working with him! All of that on top of everything else they do. They are legit.

Also, unlike Audible, you actually own the audiobook files instead of leasing them, as Amazon’s model is designed to do. Fellow romance addicts should also check out the Kiss Club: libro.fm/kissclub 🥰

Excellent Sunday morning reading. May I entice you with this one detail within: the Ethiopian emperor's dentist! Armenian personal histories are always fascinating (even while, of course, tragic). Thank you for sharing this, Lori.

Hmm I'm chatting with Xfinity based on a text that Xfinity sent me (from a number they've texted me confirmations for years) but the agent is so chatty I feel like I am being scammed. He asked me what he should get his daughter for her birthday and telling me about his happy memories in the snow.

It's my book baby forever, and I'd love if you could check it out: amzn.to/3Btmvqq (p.s. if you buy the audiobook it's as if you bought 5.5 paperbacks, so...ya know, feel free)
