Yall, Bender is so so so so gay. He’s in love with Fry, he would do anything for fry, all he wants to do is look at fry with adoration and sing little songs to him. May we all find this sort of love (queer and weird)

Bender looking at Fry with adoration, Fry looking at Rob’s foot..

This book was such a cute fall read and so timely in this era of book bans (Preston is a sweetiepie, I love him 🥹; finally, rep for us autistic dorks who don't drive lol) 💖

My latest is a modern gender-swapped retelling of The Music Man with an autistic librarian fighting book bans, who falls for a conwoman selling a fake music festival to get revenge on a tech bro millionaire who bought his way into power☺️ bookshop.org/p/books/my-k...

MY KIND OF TROUBLE "That are kind of voice that leaps off the page. A knock-out adult romance debut. - Courtney Kae, author of In the Event of Love "Fabulously well crafted and full of all the charm in the world. These characters grabbed my heart and didn't let go. Schwartz is one to watch. -Charlotte Stein, author of When Grumpy Met Sunshine LA SCHWARTZ "Schwartz proves herself a worthy successor to Meredith Willson. - Publishers Weekly A slick conwoman selling a fake music festival meets her match in a hot and nerdy autistic small-town librarian fighting book bans, in this gender-swapped homage to The Music Man perfect for fans of Spoiler Alert and Act Your Age, Eve Brown.

Yeah sure, all the responsibility falls to pedestrians, who need to stand at the side of the road in -30C darkness and try to figure out if the drivers are bothered enough to glance in their direction before driving their 2000lb+ machines through crosswalks for the next 6 months

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

If you haven’t figured this out yet, I have some bad news for you: the women in your life don’t trust you. If you believe you have never met a woman who’s had an abortion… same thing. You have. They just didn’t trust you.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.
