Me over here still feeling victorious that mine sold dozens of copies of this month. Dozens!

The sixth installment in Sarah J. Maas’ romantasy series sold nearly 2 million copies on its release date.

I've been ghosted in my tech job search in a new & terrible way TWICE this month: i apply, they write back and ask for times i can meet, i reply and... nothing. Fresh hell, indeed.

I think the fact that you 1) have and 2) want me to read a 39-slide deck about your company culture before I apply for a product job tells me all I need to know about your company culture.

thank you to the wnba for scheduling this finals game so that underemployed bay area valkyries fans have a real sense of purpose right now.

hey #booksky romance readers, how about you make this the cute palate cleanser before you lock in? it's 75% off until saturday!

Billy Evans is giving real-life Erlich Bachman.

Today's job postings include positions at slop factories, conservative donor platforms, gambling and astrology startups. Oh and crypto. Is it me or is it getting harder to work in tech without being one of the bad guys?

the best way to motivate yourself to write your book is to log in to find a new product management job and see news about more people getting laid off to compete with you for the 3 jobs that are out there.

More fun with toxic tech job postings: this company wants to eff up your existing employment before they even give you an HR screen.

This is what tech job postings are like in 2026. You get to be a staff-level product manager and a staff-level engineer, all for salary of one of those positions. What a bargain.

For 16 years I've had an autoimmune disease that caused major personal and professional limitations. 18 months ago I started one of those medicines you see advertised too much, and it has quite literally changed my life. I'm 100% healthy and scientists are incredible.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

One thing missing from so much of the discourse around Holmes in YCSE: she was a month or two postpartum when they filmed. Whether she was having kids to stay out of prison or not, your brain, your body, your everything is different when you have an infant & a toddler.

Some hosts are threatening to strike, while others are plotting ways around Airbnb’s new restrictions. Guests, meanwhile, are celebrating.

all i want is for you to read my books, love them, and then tell your one million friends about them so i don't have to pretend i'm excited about building AI features no one asked for.

this ignores how many books are read outside the traditional publishing system now. perhaps the long tail moving to indie publishing has reinforced the blockbuster model.

Why Does It Feel Like Everyone Is Reading the Same Books?

BookTok promised us endless discovery. So why does everyone seem to be reading the same thing?

Watching the Valkyries game, and holy cow is it amazing to see women playing, reffing, broadcasting, and cheering. More things like this, please.

A tech company that wants to put giant mirrors on satellites to beam down “sunlight on demand” just simulated the concept with spotlights near Mt. Whitney.

Wrapping my final pass of a manuscript and have officially arrived at, what's a comma and, where, are, we, supposed to put, them? #writing #indieauthors

Do my books count as romantasy if they're set in tech startups populated with men who listen to and respect women? I feel like that checks boxes for 1) worldbuilding and 2) mythical creatures.

It's a scourge causing visible degradation across professional and creative fields. Are we too busy to think? Are we too lazy to find words? I've fought so hard to have a voice, while all these people are outsourcing theirs to computers.

Literally no one has been left behind because of not using gen AI. This is a lie fed to you by stakeholders and obsequious bootlickers. Stop being so utterly spineless. Money and false promises are not worth your integrity. This is the most infuriating thing to witness.

This is gross and makes me happy I didn't even try to trad pub my series.

Workers at three major publishing houses tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech.

idea: instead of seeing movies about evil tech bros destroying humanity, you read my rom-com about a founder falling in love with a product manager
