can i just fanboy for a moment? i thought Other Women was remarkable. i have a lot of sisters and we recommended books to each other. i raved about yours. they all thanked me. so I thank you.

1/3 I had a tune in my head, something from the eighties and quite poppy. I couldn't identify it but I couldn't get rid of it. It was so clear and complete and I could identify all the parts as if I was at a mixing desk. It was still there when I woke this morning...

it only sounds obvious when somebody say it this clearly...

trying to arrive at a percentage for the posts i read and have absolutely no meaningful idea what any of it means. i'm going to say 30%.

Holy shit! Democrats, if you’re looking for a fighter, you found one— @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

was just listening to a politics/money podcast. they kept talking about 'growth' and i kept thinking about the cancer of capitalism. then they called it 'prosperity' and i thought about the birds in the trees and happy people being lovely to each other. #powerofwords

1: ok. a question for literary agents. because it feels like the entirety of humankind is seeking representation i started to wonder how that splits by genre. we unpublished writers may not feel we're competing against each other, but there is/are a finite number of births on this metaphorical ship.
