It's official. I have become Lilypad's petting robot. Every time I stop petting, I receive a strongly worded reprimand in the form of barks and growls. 😂

Yes! Great article for all the #writer girlies sick of male commenters treating our opinions as so unworthy of consideration that they don't even bother to construct a proper rebuttal; they just expect us to bend over backward to respond to lazy one-liners.

Hi all! Check out my latest longform piece. Tis about the latest page-to-screen adaptation of The House of the Spirits.

Finally watched "La casa de los espíritus." While I do agree with some of the changes they made to the #book, I am so pissed that they got rid of the #abortion storyline. That could so easily have been included, even without Nick and Amanda. The fact that they didn't is total capitulation.

Here's a question for my fellow #writingcommunity members? Do you still use #Grammarly and crap like that? And if so, to what extent?
Cause I have basically stopped using it for everything except typos and punctuation errors because all of its #AI BS "style" suggestions are so homogenizing.

If you ever have trouble deducing whether an #author is endorsing something they depict in their #books, check out my latest piece.
Together, we’ll dive into this vital aspect of reading and learn some methods for analyzing text to understand thematic messages.

#BookSky, I need y'all's help. I feel like I am screaming into the void over on Insta. I post interesting and informative content, and I feel like I get instantly drowned out by AI slop vids.
So please, if you have an Insta, drop me a follow:

Remember when #Republicans and #conservatives loved Inglourious Basterds because it was all about "killin' natzees?"

Yeah. That seems like such a long time ago, somehow.

Over the last few days, I've seen a lot of the exact same verbage trying to debunk the idea that AI flattens culture and thinking. It makes me wonder: Is AI homogenizing the arguments against AI homogenization?

Sad day 😔. I'm trying not to finish Survivor too quickly because it's the last piece of Octavia Butler's fiction I will ever read for the first time.

Twenty-five years later, I think we all have to face an uncomfortable but incontrovertible truth.

I don't know how much attention everyone is paying to the latest #bookish drama, but I gotta say, if rightwing Christians want us to remove the #spice from our #books, I think we should honor that . . . with MORE SPICE. Weirder spice. Hotter spice. We're not going back to the '90s #purityculture BS.

I'm just gonna say it: does every female #writer / #reader nowadays love #SleepToken? Like is that just the universal experience of being a woman #booknerd in 2026?

Seems like we're all going to have to go back to using physical maps if we want to continue seeing the actual, real names of things.

I have no idea why, but every time I lift weights at home, my little blind senior acts like she thinks it's the last third of 1984. 😆

Why does #Substack keep showing me articles where the #writers start out with an interesting premise, but then it turns out they think #fiction has gone downhill because there are too many women and POC writing now, or they're mad cause an author they used to like turns out to not hate queer people?

Just finished Remembrance of Earth's Past. Have you ever read a #book so phenomenal it made you, as an #author, want to quit #writing because you'll never produce anything even half as good? You end up feeling like the dancing monkeys that have to follow Whitney Houston.

Are there any other #neurospicy people out there who see problems arising, but you just keep your mouth shut because you know nobody wants to hear it? Or the pattern isn't severe enough for anyone to take it seriously yet?

Anyone else ever feel like a rat in a cage watching the whole lab burn, knowing the fire is gonna get to the cage eventually, but you're helpless to do anything besides pretend it isn't happening, just like all the other rats are doing, because escaping or putting out the fire is impossible?

Trump should publish a new book: How to Lose a War in 100 Days. That seems like one he's actually qualified to write. 😆
