I've batted away 10+ of these things since Friday alone. They are everywhere, and they are scams. Beware.
Over on Whatever today I confirm that, indeed, all those emails authors and other writers are getting promising access to readers and book clubs and such are 100% scams, share all the scam emails I got just this morning, and note why they are all awful and bad:

Yes, All Those Author Services and Book Club Emails Are Fake, and No, Don’t Send Them Any Money

Tierra Walker was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at 20 weeks--after months of high blood pressure, seizures, and blood clots--and the doctor at the emergency room SENT HER HOME instead of offering her an abortion, which is the only treatment.
She died 3 days later.

It's very upsetting the way you can accidentally click on things on your phone simply because icons are tiny, your fingers are comparatively large, and your eyes don't work so great anymore.

Yesterday’s tranche of Epstein documents prove that the only value women have to the politically and financially powerful currently running this country is as children to rape or as lab benches for their racist eugenics projects.
I never want anyone to ask me why I’m so angry ever again.

I have somehow killed two of my three air plants, and I'm not entirely sure whether or not the third one is actually alive or just well-preserved.
This is why I don't attempt to keep potted plants. I am very bad at it.

I am sad to report that the hack of putting on workout clothes first thing in the morning did not actually result in me exercising. It's nearly 1 pm and I've been sitting around in a sports bra for the past six hours.
There is still time. But I was kinda hoping this would be a better motivation.
