What’s a still from a movie or TV show that will completely devastate anyone who has seen it, but seem completely unremarkable to anyone who hasn’t?

I'm very proud to have gone on sub and signed a 2 book deal last year for two Queer Historical Romances (support the @hcpunion !!). It's been an amazing ride, and I can't wait to see what 2023 brings. I also learned to put chains on my car, that was big. #romtalk

@summerbrennan NYC has only one season: mid-spring, when a pea coat is enough to keep anyone warm. And it rarely snows, or rains.

If you haven't already, what are you waiting for, go out and buy "Love, Lists & Fancy Ships" by @grundercats ! I laughed, I cried, I sank into a world fully realized with wonderful characters and a beautiful romance, and a supremely real and artful depiction of grief. FANTASTIC.

@lily_bart @skygirl55 @bunysliper @crazysecondname @acertainzest He clicked off the call and sat back in his chair. The public library, at night, with Beckett. She may be dating motorcycle-driving-heart-saving-muscles-boy, but books--books were his territory, and libraries his domain. Suddenly, his night didn't look so bad. @OliviaJRowe

Dig deep, USA. What's more important, a celebrity feud or...gun control, famine, healthcare, education, etc? The celebrity feud? Sure sure.

Losing hope I'll turn into a morning person. "You'll grow out of it," they said. No, sir, I am still frequently up writing at 1am, getting in bed at 2am or later for my 9am work day. My circadian rhythms have not adjusted since college. I am now just perpetually tired.
