This was the first omegaverse shifter story I read - and it was a very cute entry to that world. It has a nice length (21.000 words) to read in one evening.

Recommendation for fan service by robin jo Margaret with tropes and representation - full alt text end of thread “Rory… the porn actress Bryce had been obsessed with for a while now. The gorgeous plus-size woman with the wild, wavy green hair that reached just below her clavicles, and with all those adorable moles all over her face and body.” “Two short horns stood on his head, and he had a small golden earring hanging on his left ear. Rory thought about those horns a lot in the following days, wondering how they would feel if she used them as handles to hold on to.”

Cover of the novella haunted mediation by D.C. Emerson, tropes, representation, full alt text at end of thread "A fall harvest. That’s what he tasted like. A delicious combination of spice and oranges, and the turning of seasons. His hair felt like a cashmere sweater, and the warmth of his body under James’ was like drinking hot cocoa after playing in piles of leaves.” "’But whatever has made you feel like this, and think like this…we’re gonna fucking fix it, okay?’" Things I want to learn while reading cozy books: "‘What’s a faefriend?‘ Leon asked quietly, keeping an eye on the teens in case they tried to make a break for it. ‘It’s like girlfriend or boyfriend but for nonbinary folk,’ James said.”

This is absolutely BRILLIANT

They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE

Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that!

Don't know what to write?

Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point!

Screenshot of bluesky in the play store at 3.4 stars and 47k reviews. Bluesky claimed to want to decentralize social media, and then came out with a massive community guidelines update imposing sweeping restrictions to free speech If I could give negative stars I would, these changes need to be repealed and they need to refocus on user facilitated moderation tools

A Recommendation for a high school reunion with a romance between a former football and cheerleading captains.

Recommendation for a high school reunion Book cover of brad & finn by dc emerson former football & cheerleading captains found family “anything can happen when the past and present collide“ representation: adhd, trans male main character, queer platonic love, asexuality (side characters) Flags: progressive pride flage with disability inclusion, trans, bi, gay, achillean “Finn‘s eyes strayed down to Brad‘s mouth, and he could feel it almost like a caress. Brad licked his lips, chasing the sensation, and his stomach tightened as Finn bit his bottom lip. Moving slowly, Brad placed his hand on Finn‘s hip and pulled him in.“ Friends supporting each other in everything: “‘Chloe-‘ ‘You‘re probably dehydrated, too. You need to be hydrated for all the coming you‘ll be doing tonight.‘“ “‘Finn,‘ Brad groaned into his mouth. The sound of Brad‘s honeyed voice saying his name, the name he‘d chosen-the one that represented everything he was and everything he hoped to become as a man-nearly undid him. […] When was the last time kissing had gotten him going like this? He ground his hips against Brad experimentally and bit back a whine.“

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

A funny sapphic romance with clear messages.
Thank goodness for authors of queer books who position themselves! @lexcroucher.bsky.social
The connection between the two main characters: great,
deep storyline,
different emotions.
