Why Ellie is nostalgic for her ‘90s college years:

👩‍❤️‍👩BFF Brooke hadn’t gone missing
😘Crush Eric shyly smiled in computer lab
🎶Happiness = mixtape + Walkman

Now:
🤑Broke
☠️Divorced
💔Brooke still missing

But Eric is back and no longer shy! Except he’s hiding truth about Brooke…👀

AITA? My friend (has fibromyalgia) asked me if orgasms really reduce pain, so I did a systematic review and made a slideshow including links to ergonomic sex toys, but I may be biased because I want to help her, & then she told me she was joking & now things are awkward. Help

Meme moodboard that captures the vibe of romance novel OPEN BOOK.
4 memes in a grid:
1- Two stick figures smiling at each other. One of them has a hand on the other’s shoulder. Text says: You’re weird, I like you.
2- 2 smiling stick figures on a turquoise background with little hearts. Text above one: “says anything”, text above the other: “makes it dirty”
3- blushing stick figure with shy expression, holds a heart against a pink background. Text says: i'm not good at holding conversations
can i hold your hand instead?
4- line doodle of two people in an embrace. One looks distressed and text above them says: touch-starved and didn't Know
it. The other is cradling the first one’s face and text says: most cuddly person on earth

I just called and told them that I super appreciate that they show LGBTQ+ and other diverse shows and that I hope they don’t listen to ignorant people complaining rn because many of us keep our subscriptions to be able to continue watching these shows, and then I listed some of my favorite shows.

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
