Long time no post again. Classes and work kicking my ass.

If anyone is in the Santae beta, sign out of the site asap. The owner, CJ, is setting chargebacks on former staff as high as $20,000 for work the former staff did.

They have silenced their entire discord server.

It's pride month so everyone should send me $5 for being the coolest queer you know. 🌈🦕

Fellow authors, if you (or the small/indie press you publish through) have sold any rights to Everand (formerly Scribd)--especially audio rights--now would be a really great time to start using every email address you have from them to ask what on earth is going on over there. 🧵

I have to pay for new tires tomorrow. Trying to get this done before tariffs hit and it's still fucking expensive.
I just want to not have a tire explode while driving to work 😭 goodbye, savings.

A long long time ago, my ex got mad at me that I didn't like spring. It was his favorite season. I was young, didn't know I was chronically ill, so I just thought maybe I'm wrong to not see the beauty in it.
He *hated* my dislike of spring.

I completely forgot about this until today 1/

that's great sweetie, how about now you use your 'neural-link' (brain) to pilot your 'mech' (body) into the maintenance hangar (take a shower)

I know I don't have as many author friends on here yet, but spread the word!
Black men, send me manuscripts. Stop playing with me. As one of very few Black men in this industry, SEND ME YOUR BOOKS. Thanks. 🫶🏽

I just saw my uncle commenting on FB, supporting putting tariffs on penguins.
This man voted for Shitlord the first term, and swears he didn't this time, but I wonder. 🙄

Enemies to lovers? Fake dating? Only one bed? They're roommates? Yawn.

'There's something wrong and haunted in this giant robot that the lesbian protagonist has to pilot into combat'? Now that's cooking with gas!

I'm not allowed to say what I'm reading for the Indie Ink Awards but let me tell you it is GOOD.

I work for a non-profit that receives federal funding.
My husband works for a school district.

I hate how terrified I am that we will lose our jobs because of the current regime.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”
"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

@torbooks.bsky.social is running a 2.99 sale for Legends & Lattes in eBook through 2/9 across online retailers - so, approximately the price of 2 eggs. 🥚💲

I know a lot of influencers boost it, but @thredup.com is honestly one of the worst websites to shop on. Good luck finding clothes you actually like. It's literally impossible to search by style.

So this account was originally created for my book reviews but with Meta being the way it is I also have IRL friends and family on here now and uh...

I hope all of you collectively are ready for how much I actually talk about books but also how unhinged I am in real life.
