My Sunday romance recs are back for 2025! I do this every year - brief thoughts here, more extended ones on Instagram.

As with last year, in 2025, I'm aiming for at least one third of my romance reading to be by authors from Australia and Aotearoa. #Romancelandia
My Sunday romance recs are back for 2024! This is something I've been doing for a few years now - the quote post below is my complete list of recs for 2023.

Let's see if Bluesky's terrible threading will let me keep all my 2024 recs in the same place. 🧵

#Romancelandia
So for the past couple of years, I've been recommending a romance novel every Sunday under the hashtag #DrJodisSundayRomanceRec. I do this on Instagram (and sometimes also TikTok) with detailed thoughts, but I've been cross-posting shorter thoughts to the bad place.

November 2, THE PRINCESS AND THE PI, Nikki Payne.

If you like romantic suspense, don't sleep on this - the perfect blend of romance and hard-boiled film noir vibes.

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

When I found out that I'm intersex I knew, statistically, there were lots of other people like me out there, but only about a dozen were publicly visible. It has been a great joy to me to watch this movement grow over the decades and begin to exert real pressure for our human rights to be respected.

A close friend with quickly worsening health and extreme pain needs a powered wheelchair. It would be life-changing. They've found one on significant sale so it is time sensitive. gofund.me/8ff53bc56

Eternal gratitude to anyone who can spare $5 or can reshare the post pinned to my bsky. 🙏🏻💓

To disarm the truth, in fact.
They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

I was blown away by the response to my trans "It's Dr, Actually" pins so, by popular demand, I made nonbinary ones too. They were so successful, I've now expanded to a whole range of gender pride flag variants, as well as some plain and shimmery colour versions!

Alt text is also great for people with slow internet connections, intellectual disability, dyslexia, those who just want more context for the image, etc. It’s easy to do and helpful for almost literally everyone! V important part of being a good internet citizen
Alt text is for people with vision problems. For people who can't read the text no matter what form it appears in, who use screen readers. The alt text is needed for those. That's why it was created. Also, it's just copy and paste it's way easier than describing an image, the work is done for you
But what if when the picture is just all text? Why do people feel the need to literally transcribe the post?

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.
