you know in Aladdin where he's Prince Ali and he's flirting with Jasmine on the balcony, & Jasmine's flirting back & the genie's like "uh-oh" & Aladdin doesn't notice anything & the genie's like "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY"
...that's how I felt about "you and I are two journalists talking, essentially"

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened.
So here’s a quick thread to help.

As January draws to a close, I offer this reminder to all of Romancelandia: next month, you don’t have to read any essays or takes on Romance from people who don’t read it. You could go have a cookie instead.

I found the first half of #Bridgerton Season 4 to be surprisingly charming: Yerin Ha is phenomenal, they’ve made Benedict much less of a jerk than he is in the source material, and I kind of love the show’s attempt to acknowledge that the working class exists. My review at @reactorsff.bsky.social:

Bridgerton Finally Gets It Together
In its first half at least, season four is pulling off something the series has never managed before: subplots that don’t undermine the main action.

And please remember that the best case scenario is not ICE/CBP/etc getting defunded right now. That is not physically possible because the GOP controls all three branches of government. But if you have Dem representation, you can make it clear what's expected of them when they get the majority.

Dems managed to get a 2-week delay on the DHS bill, so CALL YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS. Tell them you want ICE, CBP and all the rest of it defunded and dismantled. Tell them you will be voting against anyone who doesn't do this. This is our chance.

everyone say thank you Legally Blonde for ridding us of the "not like other girls" brainrot
it was SO confusing. it was like, wait, stop, I've been told in no uncertain terms that it is embarrassing gender business to enjoy pink. Legally Blonde was a real turning point.

I want to read books that could only have been written by *that* author, because of their perspective, their sense of humor, their pet peeves, their experiences, their niche interests. I want to read books flavored by the author as a human, not by tropes on repeat.
And that's how I want to write.
