#romancelandia should I put this in my emergency vault?

I will read whatever Diana Quincy writes but since her next book is a thriller (which I’ll obvi preorder) should this go in the vault? IDK when there’ll be a new #historicalromance from Quincy?
Dilemma!

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

This goes double for anything any milk brained pundits think of last night’s elections. Their takes will be bad! We know they will be! Who cares what they think, they have been loudly and enthusiastically proven wrong in races literally everywhere.
lets shake hands & agree to ignore every single garbage pundit & the terrible pieces they write for clicks. let them fade into obscurity so they're all sitting together at the bottom of a well yelling about the need for centrism so when it echoes back at them they think they still have an audience.

Said hi to my neighbor while jogging this morning & she said, “it sure fuckin is - Dick Cheney’s dead”

So that’s how I started my day 😂

I am in my 30s & have been privileged enough to never be uninsured yet even though for a few years my coverage was shit.

I am scrambling to get in all my appointments & refills bc no matter how I crunch the #s it’s impossible

I’m scared & hope if I have a medical event it’s fatal
I am seeing the posts about American healthcare premiums going up 5x and more. And I want to gather my Canadians and folks who have universal healthcare and let you know that Americans know their system is broken. You don't need to tell them that right now.

i don't think i'll ever forgive all the people who legitimized anti-trans bigotry

and i don't think i'll ever really feel generous to those who stood by and paraded their proud ignorance and refusal to learn that the actual facts favor trans people's participation and that the bigots have nothing

Lorraine Heath is part of my holy trinity of how I came to romance & I finally broke this out of my emergency vault last year and I’ve already read it 3x.

Thanks so much for highlighting what makes this book & her writing so fabulously rich & layered!!

Not exactly a superpower but I’m very good at eyeballing 100mL of water +/- 3mL usually
I wanna try something!

ppl are often surprised at my ability to sound like a native even if I don't understand the language, and I've always said that's my superpower!

Now be it always successfully opening jars or falling asleep in under 5 minutes no matter what..

what is your silly superpower?

We like to pretend the endemic use of the present tense in modern fiction is a stylistic choice. But usually it's a cheap way to disguise mediocre prose, lack of structure, or both. It's like a row of showy petunias planted along a house to disguise cracks in the foundation.

I hope the wankers who decided to play ads at MAX volume while getting gas always have pebbles stuck in their shoes.

Did the BIG SHOP at the Korean grocery store & a woman around my mom’s age said “아가씨 꼼꼼하내“ as I was picking scallions

I HAVE ASCENDED! She approves of my produce selecting capabilities!!
