Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Big Bus Stuck is as healing as Big Boat Stuck but in a different way.
So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

I showed up at the forest restoration event yesterday and the staffers told me they'd picked out a terribly overgrown tree especially for me to deal with and y'all, I felt so seen and appreciated for my tendency to bury myself in unearthing the Worst Tree That No One Else Wants To Work On.

We are trying so fucking hard not to squirt Gyoza with the water bottle when he starts batting at the TV screen and I fear we're training him to expect to get treats when he does it instead.

Read a not-great book, popped into the reviews to see if other people had the same issues I had, and discovered people saying they hated the "toxic age gap" between the love interests.
Y'all. The MC was in a magical coma for decades, and thus technically was born decades before the Love Interest.

Had a lovely time checking out the Beguiled Books grand opening today, and they now have one signed copy of His Secret Illuminations on the shelf! (Or they did at 1:30, anyway!)

I can only imagine the people who get mad at a romance for having a happy ending also get mad when an Italian restaurant doesn't serve sushi. You are in the wrong place for the thing you want and that's on you!
I saw the most bonkers conversation on tiktok where people were arguing that Romance doesn’t need an HEA and authors were fighting for their lives in the comments trying to explain what a genre convention is. Again, trying to sell me a mystery with no crime and see what happens.
God we need more craft discussions and less fights about which tropes are good or bad that play out in a way that makes it clear no one even understands what a trope is anymore.

What do you mean I hustled to finish reading this whole book before my library hold ran out even though I didn't really like any of the characters but I wanted to see what happened with the plot and it ends on a fucking cliffhanger?!
Rude. I need to go reread MurderBot as a palate cleanser.
