This meme shows a three headed, green hydra; two heads look dangerous and serious while the third looks cartoonish and derpy with its tongue poking out of its mouth. The text reads: "Caroline Bingley's SELF ESTEEM, DESIRE TO CRUSH HER ENEMIES, LIBIDO."

Caroline Bingley is, as ever, her own worst enemy.

Find out how in THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, a sapphic historical romance that will have you giggling and swooning over our mostly-intentioned, obnoxious heroine!

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

This is truly brilliant!👏👏✨
I wondered why I disliked Trump so much……🤭

How this new mail rule could affect your ballot, your tax return and more The rule, which went into effect on Christmas Eve, defines the meaning of a postmark, the date printed or stamped on most mailed items.

People who use mail in voting should definitely look at the changes that went into effect.

Damn in retrospect all Mamdani had to do to get Schumer to endorse him was say he'll schedule a vote on becoming a centrist corporate shill at some point in the future

I swear, the only thing that brings my cats running faster than a can opening is when I attempt to do something while sitting on the floor.

I can't articulate it well but I don't care what punctuation/ set of words is the current tell for Chatgpt. I'm not changing my voice or the way I write for this program, my writing will evolve the way it evolves. I am not panicking that it uses em dashes. They should panic and pay me.

What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelly to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

Frederick Douglass, 1852

A trope novel graphic, with the cover of The Shape of Monsters by CL Hellisen in the centre. Around it are the phrases family secrets, the slowest slowburn in existence, divination & sacrifice, betrayal & revenge, dead things that don't stay dead, totally normal relationships yessir, decaying gothic mansions, magic & darkness, sibling rivalry, and terrible bargains.

So yeah it's Monsters day!

It's completely wild to me just how well The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet has done already, and it's only been out for a month! Hundreds of ratings and reviews and people posting their copies with the cutest floral arrangements 🥰

Support pride, buy queer; not just this month but all the year!

Cover of the novelization of My Neighbor Totoro, featuring artwork of Totoro on a branch with the girls playing flutes.

Went to a super mega nerd store today and came home with this gem. 💚

This is for an online game, for those who can't make an in person event.

My pal Fiona is short a few players so please jump on this if games are your thing

If you are making a derogatory statement about what "the Palestinians" say or what "the Palestinians" want or what "the Palestinians" do, that's called bigotry. Palestinians are human beings with agency and thoughts and feelings. They're not fungible, and they're not a mindless collective. Stop it.

6. Be happy for other creators who are having their moment, if you can. Creating is hard. Getting a moment is rare. So much is about luck and factors you can’t directly control. “Deserve” has so little to do with anything. So when someone catches that ride, cheer them as they go by. Wish them well.

That is so sad 😭

Small thread of goodness.

You guys are ADORABLE. Congrats on the book!!

If you are pondering your voting for the British Fantasy Awards, The Last Shield is eligible for best novel.
Just sayin' :)
