I'm deep in edits and i need help because my research skills have abandoned me today. So, in Europe, we use chem sex more often. In the US, PnP (party 'n' play) is used more often. That's fine, I got there.

Geopolitics are a thing. We should all strive to learn more/stay on top of it. That's all i have the energy to say right now in response to all the posts about Ceuta and Spain.

...to be perfectly clear, when i make posts listing all the reasons why genAI/LLMs are the worst on every level and why i'm not using them (ever), this includes research and any other use and no, it's not hard to avoid

Hello, it's the last day of July, and that means, starting tomorrow, it's release month, SO I NEED YOU ALL SUPER HYPED UP FOR MY DARKISH SAPPHIC ROMANCE WITH GOLDEN RETRIEVER/BLACK CAT VIBES Thank you

My author red flag is my propensity to imagine all the hate my books are going to get because i have zero trust in the world around me and i don't know what that says about me

What do you mean there's a book coming out where they meet in a BDSM cult, survive prison and a psych ward, AND then get to redefine what kink means to them? And it's SAPPHIC??? 📚 Risk Aware by Emily Alter

She's a ten but she doesn't understand why you're always going to her for support and she doesn't think you two can work together because the last time she trusted someone they showed her what a big mistake that was and now she's convinced healthy dynamics simply aren't possible

Things you can find in Risk Aware - sapphic MCs, obviously - “why are you obsessed with me” - explicit ACAB - “if not me, who?” - “I’ll make it better” - trauma isn’t pretty - redefining kink and what consent looks like - they just want peace

...i've just gotten the prettiest thing on my email, but it's for a 2027 project I'M NOT GOOD AT KEEPING THINGS INSIDE, PEOPLE i'm already struggling not to talk about my November release 😭😭

My bookish hot take as a social psychologist is that saying "it's just fiction" as response to ANY critique/discourse is just so factually wrong i don't even know where to start.

Smut is not a derogatory word You all need to unpack some shit Also, a lot of what you may find "weird" because "no one talks like that" in smut comes from the kink community and it's not a good look when you (1) try to shame it (2) completely dismiss the people who bring up that context
