In honor of the Miami Grand Prix today, here’s a little look at what happens during the Miami race weekend in my F1 romance🤭🏎️🌴✨ #booksky

An excerpt from my F1 romance draft. There’s a soft pink background with palm leaves, and text that says:

“Elizabeth Jacobs,” I say. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You’re going to get to drive around an F1 track with an F1 driver in…okay, this isn’t an F1 car, but it’s very expensive and very powerful. It’s as close as you’ll get to knowing what it feels like to be in an F1 car.”

She still has her sunglasses on, so I can’t see her full reaction—but her shoulders drop a little. “Aren’t you a little bit curious?” I ask, leaning toward her.

“Annoyingly, I am,” she admits. “Ugh, fine. But I’m doing this against my better judgement.”

I give her my best smolder. “That’s what I love to hear.”

I just woke up and must immediately report I had a dream that Namjoon was my neighbor (!!!!!!!!) and came outside every morning to have coffee on his porch wearing only 1) glasses and 2) a pair of faded red wide-legged sweatpants, WHY DID MY SUBCONSCIOUS DO THIS TO ME

just ran across the website for the virginia chess federation and it has provoked in me an unbearable tenderness. look at it. the last living specimen of a genus long believed to be extinct. i want to put it in a little jar

screenshot of a perfectly functional but wildly outdated website advertising the 2025 coastal Virginia chess open. lots of text is highlighted in different colors. most of the hyperlinks are glossy, rounded buttons.

This is one of the reasons I left Twitter. I started thinking of the practice as “caveat stacking,” listing all the things I wasn’t saying that I knew somebody might claim I was saying, even though it was perfectly clear that I wasn’t saying them. It was bad for my brain.

Todd Vaziri @tvaziri.com · Jan 27

This is 100% accurate.

On the plus side, the toxicity of this website was great prep for being a lawyer in the sense of everything you write, you have to consider beforehand, "what is the most ridiculous, bad faith way someone could possibly misinterpret what I'm about to write"

I was thinking this morning about what I did in 2017 to Deal With Everything, and very genuinely discovering BTS and writing a shit-ton of fanfic is what kept me sane.

lol it’s a dual timeline narrative, but i see your point

bethany erin⁷✨ @bookishbethanyerin.bsky.social · Jan 28

I’ve already gotten rid of 35k words and killed all the darlings and searched for common filler words. So now I’m like ….👉👈

bethany erin⁷✨ @bookishbethanyerin.bsky.social · Jan 27

If someone who has a penchant for slow-burning romance books with messy characters (they were academic rivals in high school) and complicated emotions (he hires her to work for him ten years later) would like to read my too-long draft and (nicely) tell me which 16k words to cut…let me know.

I don't know whose picture this is, but now it's ours.

j-hope of BTS on stage in Paris at the Pieces Jaunes charity gala. His shirt has fallen off his shoulder revealing a sleeveless T and his very lovely shoulder and throat. He's singing hard, too.

Namjoon is looking out at Trafalgar Square in London, which has a tall statue in the middle and is full of people. We see Namjoon's back as he's leaning on a railing facing away from the camera. He's wearing a khaki coat and blue cap.
