    I'm so over people "not connecting" with characters who aren't like them. You don't need to connect, you need to have empathy and compassion for human beings. Is that too hard.

    I’ll explain “pub date” to you non-industry folk. When a woman and her book love each other very much, they spawn, and everyone gets a copy.

    Signal boost, from the Romancelandia trenches.

    All right guys. I’m going to drop a long thread on you and go work and ignore responses. I’m sorry. This thread represents my personal opinions, and not the opinions of any other organization.

    As a young person people would think it was ok to pick me up because a) I was cute or b) it was funny. /1

    Trans rights are human rights, trans women are women, trans men are men, black trans lives matter. Denying someone’s humanity and therefore their worth to live like the rest of society is ugly & violent.

    On this Trans Day of Visibility, what would really comfort us is if cis people expressed why they support trans people, our rights, and our identities. QT this and say why you support the trans community.

    Remember when the Bush admin. was nearly derailed for how poorly they handled hurricane Katrina relief? Puerto Rico still doesn't have full power, clean water, or fully functioning cities. This is disgraceful. How are we allowing the Trump admin. to get away with this?

    On I'm sending love to my trans and nonbinary friends and colleagues. May you always feel seen, respected, and accepted, and may good people of all genders keep fighting until that's the norm everywhere.

    Co-worker got his lunch stolen and they’ve agreed to let him watch the security camera tape. This is the most excited I’ve ever been at any job ever. Ever.
