Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Gonna take advantage of this moment when people are obsessing over Heated Rivalry (rightfully so) to talk about my favorite hockey romance series. Queer, spicy, why choose, diverse characters, queer author- don’t sleep on it! I flew through it and can’t wait for book 5

I took advantage of Allurial Box’s Black Friday deal and subscribed. Regular sub rate is a bit steep but I can cancel any time after one regular priced selection and have unlimited skips. Looking forward to this book. #booksky #romancelandia

The success of HEATED RIVALRY blows apart two massive Hollywood myths, proving:

1) Gay intimacy on screen is NOT bad for business.

2) The Anti sex-scene discourse is horseshit. Audiences are horny and want horny things. 12 Year olds with anime pfp don't constitute a demographic worth catering to.

I’m gonna have to subscribe to Max to watch Heated Rivalry, aren’t I?

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I’m keeping my five year old phone and two year old tablet until the batteries can’t hold a charge and/or the latest updates can’t be downloaded. I am due for a new laptop since my nine year old Toshiba is sluggish and obsolete, but I’m taking my sweet time.

I guess I’m an economy wrecker. 🤷🏻‍♀️
This will never be me - I bought an M4 Mac Air just before my book tour - but I think the premise of "device hoarding" here is ridiculous. With every major purchase, buy as well as you can and then use that thing until you can't use it any more. That's just sensible.

Reminder that books make awesome gifts for all holiday events, and they taste sweeter when they’re from indie bookstores. Don’t know what to get? Indie bookstores have gift cards!

Wait, you’re telling me those big “patriot” accounts on Twitter are actually bots from other countries? Oh no lemme sit down while my jaw remains firmly in place. 🤣

Dearest Gentle Publisher,

Instead of publishing yet another special edition of Bridgerton, promote the other historical romances on your roster. I beg of you.

Sincerely,
A Patron

Remembering Clem Burke, fantastic drummer of the band Blondie from 1975 until his death, and briefly also of the Ramones under the name "Elvis Ramone," as well as many other side projects. He was born today, 1954, in Bayonne, New Jersey.

One snippet that sticks in my mind is historian Vincent Brown talking about the profitability of slavery, which is also discussed in The 1619 Project. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for capitalism. #TheAmericanRevolution
