The biggest recurrent sticking point throughout the ms - which I never would have guessed - turned out to be the notion of going "out the back" vs "out back". (I won.)

Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

Highly relatable to the 'male loneliness epidemic*', and the toxic vision of masculinity promoted and monetised by certain men.
* not the fault or responsibility of women refusing to tolerate obnoxious attitudes and/or behaviour.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks.
If you take this personally I think thatβs also a reason you can be blocked.

Age verification? Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless? Tom was here before the river and trees; Tom remember the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wigh
When someone tells me how old their child is I say "that's such a fun age" even if it's 37
A book cover for Bodies of Magic by Freya Markse. A deep blue building with a quadrangle, spires and cloisters fills the lower half of the cover with the title text in gold across it. Behind that, the upper background is grey and stormy with a prominent twisting white design that could be a bare tree rising up from the main tower OR an anatomical diagram of the lungs. Centered above the lung-tree are the words DO NO HARM in stark white. Honestly: a complete banger of a cover. Doesn't it make you want to preorder? Yes, yes it does.
BODIES OF MAGIC, out Sept 2026: Grey's Anatomy meets A Deadly Education, a mystery set during the final exam week of a magical medical school. (Or: five queer nerds solve a murder and have some feelings.)

Bunnies are at the location of the time portal in "City At the Edge of Forever" (the Star Trek episode.) It is a donut-shaped glowing rock, with ruined columns strewn around it. One bunny has just run through the portal, head-first, as two other bunnies try to stop them.

a pink background with JQ written in a curly font with Editions alongside in grey serif, with the words Do you believe in love at first line? You will soon. at the bottom is a swirly accent thing that I can't remember the name of. motif? Maybe it's a motif. And a bar of darker pink.
Today Julia Quinn announced JQ Editions, a historical romance special edition subscription service launching on Kickstarter in January.
This announcement set my whole brain on fire: it's an intersection of several trends happening within romance.
