Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

That thing where your friend gets amazing news and you want to shout to the whole world how talented they are but it is still a secret for now ❤️

Yes it is! In high school I worked at a taffy place on Cape Cod, and it was made there

Me: I'm an author
Person: Oh really? Where can I find your books?
Me: Pretty much any retailer should have them or be able to order them
Person: *squints suspiciously* Like actual bookstores?
Me: Um, yes?
Person: *suspicious squinting intensifies*

Congratulations!!!

I'm going to tell you exactly how to write a book. Do you see that impenetrable brick wall ahead of you? You're going to ram your head into it until long book is long.

Could we maybe just acknowledge that people do things differently and there doesn't have to be a Most Correct Way to do everything?
(sincerely, a snoozer who needs extra time to wake up her brain or she gets anxiety)

There are a lot of people on there who just want free ARCs, and in order to keep getting them from publishers, they have to have a certain percentage of books reviewed. It's awful, to put it mildly.

This isn't smug and unlikeable, it's giving us all something to look forward to!

YEP! I also protested that war in my very early 20s. He gets remembered as this lovable doofus when he actually did more to destabilize the entire Middle East than most presidents.

Want to push back against the bigoted attacks targeting trans and gender-nonconforming people? Here are specific ways you can help—with your time, money, and everyday actions.

Update: I've been so confused about the part where it said Addie's mom didn't recognize her upon their return to Villon, so I googled it, and it's a random detail from VE Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. This is all a bunch of gross plot sausage ground up and spit out by the machine.

Friends, please do not trust anything this plagiarism machine tells you about things you haven't read. Find primary sources, read the things, and think your own thoughts!

aaaand now it's lying about another one of my books, which is NOT SET IN MAINE. At this point I decided to stop wasting water but I can only imagine how much weirder this could have gotten.

"Where is Vilmon in this book?"

Chatgpt says the book "does not mention a place called Villon" but it's possible it's a setting for one of my other books like The Wide Starlight, which "is set in a coastal town in Maine."

I was curious about this Villon place, which is brand new information to me

A long paragraph with vague themes and the words "upon their return to Villon"

There is no square dancing in the book, her mom is very much not dead. It continued on:

A chatgpt prompt where I ask about the significance of square dancing in my book The Depths, and it hallucinates an answer about Addie square dancing with her late mother.

I decided to ask chatgpt some questions about one of my books, and the whole experience was extremely surreal 🧵

12 books with New England ties to read this summer From supernatural murder mysteries to evocative poetry disguised as Wikipedia entries, WBUR literature writer Katherine Ouellette recommends the books she's looking forward to this season.

Lovely to see A Spell to Wake the Dead on WBUR's list of New England summer reads 📚🏖️

I gave them three months, so they did surprisingly well!

One of my favorite parts of this is Tesla stock tanking even harder because now he's pissed off literally everyone. It's truly beautiful to watch.

I also relied on my mom's method a lot, which is when you get lost, drive in the direction that the most cars are going

Oh no, they give them out to anybody, not just the "aged" 😂

Also a little crossbody bag that you can put your water bottle, phone, essentials in and then just wear that around the house
