Authors winding up on a booktok blacklist for sharing their thoughts on Charlie Kirk is wild. Imagine the same people who cry about cancel culture invoking it when it suits them. The absolute lack of self-awareness from the radical right is disturbing.

I've got to be better about coming here. I've been living over on Threads lately, which is kind of an interesting place to be.

If you haven't been reading the Unexpected Love series by @kimbreyon.bsky.social, you should. Each book is better than the previous one, and I can't wait for book 4! #mmromance #gayromance #queerreads #readtherainbow #queerlit

Fuck every one of these council members. And if you support them, fuck you too. #FDT #weredoomed

Day two of vacation. Trying not to feel guilty about not writing. But when the sun is shining and there's a pool in my backyard, what am I supposed to do? I've been writing at night and there are a few days of rain coming up. It'll all get done. #relax #writing #WritingCommunity #writeon #writer

If you haven't been reading the Love in Maplewood series, you are missing out. I've loved every single book by every single author. But this one by @susanscottshelley.bsky.social‬ was one of my top two (please don't ask me to choose). Read the whole series, but find this one here: a.co/d/4YOpwH8

TONIGHT! A coalition of organizations committed to protecting and improving public education are hosting a Town Hall where families will hear about the billions in funding that the administration is withholding from public schools and what they can do about it. Register here: bit.ly/NotOneStepBack

There are 468 Congressional seats up for grabs in 2026 - 33 Senators and all 435 Representatives.

220 are Republican Representatives.
20 are Republican Senators.

Just a reminder that we aren't done fighting. There is still work to do and we must press on. #DemsUnited #voteblue #Democrat

I'm about 75% done with my novel and, considering this is the first book I've written that I intend to publish, that feels like a milestone worthy of celebration. #aspiringauthor #writingcommunity #writing #writer

That would be both acceptable and welcomed 😂🥰

tshirt that says: things i do in my spare time: read books, buy books, research books, talk about books, rearrange books, review books

You know what ISN'T okay? Messaging someone on here that you've 1) just followed, and 2) have never spoken to, asking for money.

Don't do that.

I would love to do a big trip to Ireland in 2026 or 2027. My mom's family was from Galway, so I'd like to visit. Maybe spend a few weeks to do some writing and exploring. I'm so excited for your planning! I love seeing trips come together. I will be loving vicariously through you, for sure ♥️

I love this so much!

Last day of my personal writing retreat, and I had a visitor this morning 😍 #amwriting #WritingCommunity ##writingretreat

Thank you! It's in the Pocono Mountains, at the Highlights Foundation. So reasonable and it includes all meals, 24 hrs snack and coffee availability, and private rooms or cabins. I'm already planning another visit 😂

Let the #writingretreat begin! #writerscommunity #amwriting #writing #contemporarylit

Firm believer that all words count, so we can count this 😂 And I'm right there with you - every weekend, I swear I'll dedicate all of my time to writing. I keep saying life gets in the way. Let's see what happens when I remove that excuse 😅

I'm taking myself on a writing retreat this weekend and I'm so excited! Three days of nothing but time to write! I swear, if I don't make a serious dent in my book, then I will officially be the problem... #writerlife

I've received some of the best #happymail lately! I love this little community of authors I'm clinging to 🥰 Thanks @authorryderomalley.com!

The flags in question. (Not shown: two pride flags hanging from my garage.)

Got this text from my sister (who lives with me and my husband). I hate that proclaiming basic human decency is an act of bravery. But if I can be a voice for others, well. Being silent has never been my strong suit.

The Republican-controlled House and Senate sent a bill to the governor that lets wealthy people write off their federal capital gains tax liability and have Missouri taxpayers foot the bill for it. T... TikTok video by Missouri Democrats 💙🇺🇸

This is what representing the people actually looks like.

This feels...ominous 😅

Bluemoonchild's review of Every Reason to Stay (Bears of Firefly Valley, #3) 5/5: Ryder O'Malley did it again. The third book in the Bears of Firefly Valley series, 'Every Reason to Stay' swept me off my feet and deposited me straight into the heart of a town so vivid and char...

'Every Reason to Stay' is the third installment of @authorryderomalley.com's Bears of Firefly Valley series. I didn't get to read this ARC as soon as I wanted to, but it was so worth the wait! If you haven't read this series yet, what are you waiting for? #mmromance #lgbt #readtherainbow #gayromance

You're welcome! I'm so grateful that you shared this with us, and I can't wait for Charlie and Andrew's stories 🥰
