I haven't picked up any of my art supplies since . . . April? I just never have the time. Or the inspiration, tbh. I do miss it though.

In today's feed-yourself thread:

Leftover rice.

I have FOUR dishes that I love for when I have cooked rice left.

Dish 1: rice and egg

This is so low effort. Microwave the rice. Add butter and soy. Fry an egg. Eat.

I can't express how comforting this meal is. So yummy too.

In 1981, two dudes from the National Enquirer thought they’d disrupt the romance genre with a new idea- a tabloid size romance novel. They raised over a million, and waited for the profits to roll in. The profits did not roll in.

Nothing is new under the sun.

Last re-skeet: I am so very done with the "does romance really need a happy ending?" crowd, I cannot tell you. The last time it happened on a panel, with an audience participant that would not let it go, I actually used the phrase, "that was asked and answered" and moved on.

Genres have contracts.

I got to “honored to be your ancestor” and started sobbing. I don’t even know what to say. It’s cliche to say that someone was a light, but Alice was, in both the sense of being a warm glow to find your way home and bright sun to burn the fuck out of the unwary. I hope we can honor her legacy.

Truly today has been a day for romance readers going, “motherfuckers, why are y’all trying to rebrand our tried and true staples they’ve been ripping away from us?!”
