I've just signed this petition protesting Meta's mass theft of Irish writing, which they've used to build their large language model ‘AI’. Their trawl includes fourteen of my titles. If you live in Ireland and care about the arts, please sign.

Late to it but the new Cure album is sublime

@erikverhaar.bsky.social 👋💞

One of my colleagues is leaving her position to open a romance bookstore in the Twin Cities and now I need romance book recs to order from her store. Anyone on here have suggestions?

@markdudley.bsky.social Hooray! You've made it! 🙌

@carrylchurch.bsky.social Yaaaaaay the code worked!!!!

I had no idea what to expect from this app but so far it's been lovely! So many friendly people! Yay! 🤗

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up.

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Brr, it's cold and lonely over here. Where are you, #writingcommunity? Let's have some tea and biscuits!
