I'm getting a $1,500 raise next year to compensate for health insurance, and my boss is taking a pay cut to do that. That's great and all, and I'm grateful, but it's ridiculous that it even has to be a thing.

DNF at 37%. I really wanted to read A Burning Oath. I'm so upset 😭. I should have suspected something was up when the author only advertised with the spicy scenes

I am once again asking Kobo for a text to speech feature. Seriously, it's such a basic feature for ebook app

Forced to take a break because it hurts. Jonah's chapters hurt me so much 😭. Hurt/comfort, but I need more comfort please. My heart. Liam & Jonah deserve the world. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now.

Why I read more mlm/gay/achillean romance than wlw/lesbian/sapphic: 🧵
I was trying to figure this out at 3 a.m. this morning. I'm a queer woman and I generally prefer women, so I didn't understand why I was more likely to pick up a book about men. 1/4

Yes???
You do realize that what you're really saying is "Straight men are not owed romantic love, and should resign themselves to being alone forever if they aren't privileged enough to meet a standard of social acceptability."

Yes???
Just because an author releases a set of books quickly doesn't mean they used gen AI to write it. Having multiple books prepared and then releasing them quickly has been an indie strategy for a long ass time. 👍. It's possible, but it's not an indicator by itself of AI usage.

The last time I freaked out was 24 hours, so I guess I'm okay 🥺.
Seriously, though, I sleep so much now. If I'm off work, I'm asleep for, like, 12 hours if not more.

DNF at 23%
Already multiple holes at 23% in. According to reviews, they only get worse. There are some AI allegations but nothing for sure.
It was a cute premise too. I'm upset.

I've been with my partner for 8 years and I still don't remember his eye color🥺
People in erotic fiction are always committing each other's bodies to memory. Just once I want a story to be like, "He knew he wouldn't remember Evan's body. Michael's brain didn't work good"

AI author to avoid: Delilah Evermore. I don't know if they used AI for all of their books, but they did for Meadowsweet and Merigold. They left in the prompt

It really pisses me off when I see traditionally published books on Kindle Unlimited AND Kobo Plus. If an indie author tried to do that, Amazon would lose their shit 😡. Just let authors use both, damn it.

Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.
The White House has a preferred alternative to PBS: PragerU, a nonprofit organization that specializes in creating right-leaning educational short videos for adults and children. . It may already be in countless classrooms. www.vox.com/today-explai...
