Happy pride :) go listen to two women fall in love

The season finale of CHEF’S KISS is officially up. Directing and producing this audio rom-com was a bright spot in an already bright spring. I’m so proud of everyone involved. Go binge! open.spotify.com/episode/00mb...

I named Kia’s teacher after my English teacher, Mr. Hillis. And he came to my Portland event! He remembers so many details of how I was in the classroom, which makes me so emotional because he shaped so much of the writer I became. Thank you, Mr. Hillis. Thank you, teachers.

My two Lyfts in San Francisco have been teslas and sitting in the back of those things I have never been more carsick in my LIFE. I felt every bump, every wobble, felt like I was in a Flintstones vehicle.

I had a great time talking Kia Greer at the Kiss & Tell Literary Salon at Books Inc with theee Jasmine Guillory. And two of my siblings came! And a couple friends from college! And I didn’t even know most of the people in the audience?!? A rare occurrence for a debut tour!!

No actual writer wants this shit. Please stop forcing it on us.

Annalee Newitz @annaleen.bsky.social · May 17

The new Google AI functionality in Docs is total mind-ruining shit. Hit enter in docs, it takes over your cursor to offer to help you write. Every. Time. You. Hit. Enter. Do you know how annoying that is when you are writing something? It's someone interrupting you every minute. MAKE IT STOP.

I was the kind of media nerd growing up who POURED OVER the Entertainment Weekly Must List, so it’s so surreal and cool to see THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER on it this week! ew.com/final-destin...

More than 20 years (and over 80 published novels) later, and with another "Princess Diaries" book and movie on the way, Meg Cabot remains a powerhouse. Story by @alannabennett.bsky.social:

Thank Goodness for Meg Cabot

Over 20 years after the first “Princess Diaries,” the writer is still sticking up for romance.

Kicked off the EDUCATION OF KIA GREER mini-tour with a launch party in LA & a convo moderated by @chescaleigh.bsky.social

I couldn’t feel more full. Thank you to everyone who’s already read TEOKG — and to everyone who’ll give her a chance now that she’s out in the world.
