Every once in a while I’ll see a romantasy thread that’s like “so now that faerie romance isn’t popular, what’s next?”
Like girl, there is no “next” for me I’ve had a crush on David Bowie as the Goblin King since 8th grade. I became a painter because they liked artists. I’m locked in unfortunately

It’s National Library Shelfie Day to here to remind you: You cannot ban books to stop book banning. You cannot buy books to end book banning.
The only way to stop book censorship is doing the beauracratic work. Here are some tangible steps you can take to be proactive: bookriot.com/56-small-tas...

We really need more Hispanic representation in #romantasy novels because when I posted a story on #BookTok of my current read of a page that had the uncle kissing the protagonist on the cheeks goodnight and the comments called that moment incest 🫠

Given that I have a *lawyer* arguing to me that it would be entirely constitutional to ban all social media entirely, I am quickly coming to the conclusion that anti-TikTokism is ruining more brains than TikTok itself.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
