You wouldn't know my boyfriend. He lives in Scotland.

Loved this book so much, A+ premise

Happy #tropetuesday! What if you made up a sexy Scottish boyfriend, sent him a bunch of letters, but then you found out that he actually exists! This bonkers but wonderful premise is why #romance is unmatched! Tessa Dare’s work is always vibrant and hilarious, and this book is a great example. 📚💙

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

people who are too lazy or incompetent or greedy to actually do things well LOVE to eliminate standards. Remember this gem from Titan Submersible Guy?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_s...
Also in March 2018, Rob McCallum, a major deep sea exploration specialist, emailed Rush to warn him he was potentially risking his clients' safety and advised against the submersible's use for commercial purposes until it had been tested independently and classified: "I implore you to take every care in your testing and sea trials and to be very, very conservative." Rush replied that he was "tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation ... We have heard the baseless cries of 'you are going to kill someone' way too often. I take this as a serious personal insult".

Amazing thread. I appreciated this view as a writer with a tendency to focus on all the bad things in the experience of publishing

Working on getting back into new book this week. Last week's chaotic day job ate headspace. As I discovered last few months with last book, getting deep into Weird Novel headspace is fabulous way to spend These Times. I want to get grounded into this one more. Trying to think what made last click

Let's make this clear: My mom's test results for nearly two years indicated possible cancer, but neither she nor her doctors knew this because of a private agreement between her insurer and pathologists to occasionally lie about abnormal or ambiguous test results and falsely report them as normal.

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are.

www.wheresyoured.at/killingfaceb...
Yet Zuckerberg could not perpetuate these disgusting acts without the help of people like Chief Marketing Officer Alex Schultz, who saw to it that Meta shut down CrowdTangle, a public insights tool from Meta that allowed researchers to easily analyze what was happening on Facebook. Horwitz reports in Broken Code that Facebook — led by Alex Schultz — killed CrowdTangle because reporter Kevin Roose kept posting a list of Facebook’s most-engaged-with content, and that Facebook was dominated with right wing lunacy and misinformation like “Plandemic,” a COVID conspiracy film that Joel Kaplan, head of Meta’s public policy team, initially blocked the health team from removing until Roose reported that it was Facebook’s number one post. Just to be abundantly clear, the Head of Public Policy at Facebook deliberately allowed the spread of COVID conspiracies, and would have continued to do so if a reporter hadn’t used a Facebook tool to show how popular they were, which resulted in Facebook choosing to kill the tool that allowed the reporter to find out.

one of the ways you know that people still hate romance is when you read the obituaries of blockbuster authors of the genre, they always make sure to talk about how absolutely shit the books are.

Holy fuck a swan just tried to eat my camera.

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Archaeologist: we’ll need a social history of cups, as well as a project charting the perception of their fullness, both geographically and through time, to better understand the social meaning of the cup.

A LADY'S GUIDE TO LONDON is coming April 15, 2025! This is my favorite book in the series (don't tell my other books) because Della was so much fun to write. You can pre-order it from your local indie or here from the ripped bodice:

Flat lay of two books on a patterned fabric with playing cards nearby. The books are THE LADY HE LOST, which has a couple in period costume embracing on the cover and A LADY'S GUIDE TO LONDON, which doesn't have a cover yet because it's an advance review copy
