honestly reading this thread and thinking about why romance readers run straight at this shit head first no matter how much everyone else says it's hopeless.

Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

It is about this: because so many people do not give a shit about romance, shit gets tried in romance first.
You should pay attention to romance publishing news and care about it, because they will try that shit here first.

I have said that archivists can either make your memory live forever or erase you entirely, so choose wisely. It’s half a joke and half a massive professional responsibility.
Don’t fuck with archivists. They are librarians with sociopathic tendencies.

I can't keep the thread up, but suffice to say, PEOPLE VOTED TO PROTECT AND FUND LIBRARIES AND SO MANY SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS SUPPORTED PRO-EDUCATION, PRO-STUDENT CANDIDATES.
People showed up. They didn't just buy banned books. They VOTED.
And guess what?
Voting made a difference.

In an upset, Democrats ousted two Republican members of Georgia’s utility board on Tuesday, according to preliminary results from secretary of state's office. The races for two of the five seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission are seen as a bellwether for the midterms.

My #NoKings protest was not huge but it was super peaceful. A kid gave me a high-five. The weather was lovely.
My favorite chant was “No Kings in Queens!”
