here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

If you're one of the students who were just disenrolled from Howard University, Maryland has your back. We're working to provide expedited admission support to University System of Maryland schools, explore financial aid options, and provide an $800 credit for impacted students.

YAY YAY YAY!! It's funded!! I'm so happy that this @kickstarter.com project will move forward. It's not even my project! I just really love it. It's so gorgeous and I'm so excited for all of us who pledged to support it. I hope the artist is really pleased!

Are you looking for a new tarot deck? Do you like this one? I backed it, and it's so close to funded, so I'm being a little selfish here: if you're interested, lets get this deck together! It's so beautiful my GOSH.

I just saw some video about a book accessory at Target and we all need to run there right away and buy it When I tell you the majority of the comments were like, "No." Sending love and good sales at other stores to all the people who say, "Target who? I don't know her."

The threshold has always been a sacred space, an engine of what-if magics. We climb the stile and may cross into familiar field or we may find ourselves across the border in Faeryland. In that briefest moment of transition we are full of the wonder of possibilities. – Dr. M. Benn

HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY TOM AND LORENZO! I know how rare and how hard it is for a major blog to last two decades. Every year I file an annual report with the state of Maryland, and say out loud to myself, "STILL HERE, Y'ALL. STILL HERE." Big congratulations to you both from a fellow vintage blog.💕

On our tenth blogiversary, we wrote a post thanking our readers for making us better people. On our 20th (today), we wrote a much more defiant essay about what it's taken for us to survive this long when so much of the digital landscape has been decimated: tomandlorenzo.com/2026/07/it-w...

Everything old is new again! From the San Diego Union-Tribune in 1994, a holiday list of bookstores includes Romance World, a romance exclusive bookstore founded somewhere around 1988.

Screenshot reads: “ROMANCE WORLD, 929 E. Main St., El Cajon When bookseller Don Shultz opened Romance World six years ago, it was the only store of its kind in the nation, according to Romantic Times magazine. Today, clients all across the county --and country -- buy and trade its mostly used stock of about 30,000 romance novels. In the tiny store in a strip mall just east of the intersection of Main and Mollison, paperback titles, grouped by imprint or author, fill floor-to-ceiling shelves. Current titles beckon from a center display and a token "Men's Corner" of science fiction and thrillers is tucked in the back. What's hot? "Paranormal romances," said manager Rita Cope. "I have seven or eight shelves of them, and as fast as I fill them, they go out."

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.
