To Bargain With Mortals by R.A. Basu is out today and I’m really emotional about it 😭
16 months ago this manuscript hit my inbox and it has been the honor of a lifetime to help bring it out to the world and for it to be the first release from my publishing imprint.

Heads up Instagram decided to add a Live Location Sharing feature without telling you 😐
Make sure you find this setting and set who can see your location to NO ONE if you’re not trying to broadcast exactly where you are at all times. Mine was default off, a friend’s was default on, so go check.

I saw this article in @variety.com first thing this morning and I haven’t stopped feeling sick about it all day. This is beyond disgusting. A complete abandonment of any sense of journalistic integrity by @jimacosta.bsky.social and a truly horrific thing to do to a dead kid.

Had an anti-genAI video go viral on tiktok and my [already low] faith in humanity has PLUMMETED reading the comments I’ve been getting for the last five days.
However bad you think people’s reliance on AI for every single thing in their life is, it’s worse.

I’m so fucking sick of live-service games. Call me old but goddamn I miss when I would buy a game, put the disc in, and what do you know it’d be a completed start to finish narrative that actually worked the way it was supposed to on release day.

Getting this on my glowing box of doom at 1am was a real Fuck You from this app 😐

One thing I’m trying to do these days with TikTok is scroll past viral interpersonal beef. It’s genuinely bad for my brain to be locked into like some seven part video series of a woman complaining about her neighbor*, even when it’s a very valid complaint!
*this is a fake thing I just made up.

I have exported the same video 5 different times with 5 different iterations of “final” in the file name.
So yeah, YouTube is going great!

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

I was on live when the ban hit the U.S. last night and managed to stay live for another hour like this as more and more American viewers got kicked off and it was just me and everyone checking in from other countries

I’ve been telling everyone on TikTok they could find me here, so I should probably start actually using this…

Treated myself to a character art commission from the wonderful Bri, who I don’t believe is on Bluesky yet, but who can be found on IG at BeforeViolets.

Y’all stress me out doing yearly wrap ups in mid-December because I just read A Magical Girl Retires on December 28 and it may make my honorable mentions for the year.

It’s 10pm - an acceptable time to feign a desire to go to bed - which means I have survived Christmas with my family.
I hope you were all so lucky.

I’m convinced no one writing step-sibling romance books has ever had a step-sibling, and CERTAINLY never had step-siblings as a teen. Bc as someone who had at one point four step-siblings…what the hell 😭

The absolutely sociopathic msgs from the Crisis PR woman Justin Baldoni hired should be making every Johnny Depp supporter rethink how the public conversation was manipulated in the same way, but it won’t.
Amber Heard is owed a long overdue apology for this.

Losing tiktok will suck, but on the bright side I may never again have to see a tiktok comment and that, at least, will be a win.
