Can anyone rec me a book similar to Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid? Looking for a situation where the MCs have a hookup arrangement but the love is slow burn. Rivals or friends to lovers. Out of My Mind by AJ Truman fit this too. Thanks!

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.”
No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).
"Pornography" is a dog-whistle, same as "DEI" and "woke" — a pretext for broad censorship and repression of issues related sex and gender.
Unfortunately, too many on the left take it at face value ... and distance themselves from fights. We need much broader awareness and our allies to fight back.

A source stationed in Germany has sent me emails showing the principal at a Department of Defense school, Weisbaden Middle, telling teachers they can no longer allow books to be checked out until someone has reviewed them for compliance with Trump’s anti-trans, anti-diversity ex orders.

Here are some amazing books with trans characters and/or authors. Reminders: Trans people have always been here and always will be. Trans women belong in sports, and all trans people have a right to gender affirming care and medicine

Still figuring this app out. I was never really into this kind of platform but this will probably be the only social media I have soon. Most interested in finding book recs and interacting with the MM Romance community 🏳️🌈

Me, looking at books in the charity shop: I used to have this and I've got no idea what happened to it, maybe I'll buy it
Steph: You donated 500 books last month, this was literally your copy
