Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target .
In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them

Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas was a great secondary romance. Also love the one in The Villa by Nora Roberts although I’m blanking on their names!

Sent out a fun little newsletter entry this week, in which I talk about some of my favorite secondary love stories from some classic romance novels. What are some of yours? Feel free to QRT and get some discussion going! :D

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

when readers say "a book needs editing" they are trying to explain that they can tell the book doesn't feel quite finished, and in the romance space, they are probably talking about pacing, plotting, characterization, or the romance arc.

Decided to make this after seeing this post and it was fantastic! The best homemade mix I’ve tried.
This cinch of a hot chocolate mix is one of my favorite things to keep around in the winter. Just grind cocoa, chocolate, sugar, and vanilla together and whisk it into any kind of warmed and finish with as many marshmallows as your heart desires.

The last section of this article should be interesting even to folks fortunate enough not to have MAGA relatives. Because the mainstream media reaction to this is tied to the moral panic over "cancel culture" or women who won't date Trump voters.
Many folks are facing a hard question this holiday: How can you face Trump-voting relatives? Do you have to?
In this deep dive, I interview people who cut off MAGA parents. I also review what the experts, what parents, and what the mainstream media says.
