Hi #Romancelandia! I write cozy erotic romance. Very high heat and generally low angst.
Often kinky but never dark. Sex toys abound.

It’s okay if Bluesky eventually accumulates the same problems as twitter, this is a game you restart periodically because it’s more fun at the beginning like animal crossing.

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

We use a stovetop kettle here and I have an electric kettle at work. My social circle consists of all kettle people. But yes, as said before, our kettles are slower because of the lower voltage. We are doing our best. :)

"Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" was absolutely formative in my youth and I haven't thought about it in years. A part of my brain just activated like a sleeper agent.

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬

Cranky Bitch Sedai @totallydonna.kitrocha.com · Aug 27

Tor just straight up didn't register the copyright for two of our books, even though they were contractually obligated to do so.

One day I will FULLY describe that shit show. But not today.
