Good grief.

A BEAUTIFUL VAMPIRE Lady Deverish drains the life force of her entire family, including her dog, to remain young and beautiful. Amazingly this little known #Vampire story was published as early as 1896 by Arabella Kenealy, it predates Dracula #31daysofHalloween #Gothtober

The only "standards" needed are a complete repudiation of generative AI, whether for text or accompanying artwork. Or even book-design/layout. Get it away from all aspects of publishing, period. There is no excuse for using it for ANYTHING in publishing, ever. End of story.

Or Milky Way.

I've had Carmilla in the middle of my TBR for a while but this makes me want to move it to the top.

I did actually aspire to run my own bookstore when I was a kid. Then I worked retail for seven months after college and knew it wasn't for me. (And that was after dealing with the public as a waitress since my sophomore year of high school.) #booksky #bookstore #books #retail

And museums don't just have you exit through the gift shop--an exhibit's corporate sponsorship is often front and center. The only thing books tend to advertise is more books, but not in the middle of a chapter. #booksky #reading

This comment was always inevitable.

UNDERTAKEN out-of-context QotD: She nodded at a short man conversing with the Greek god, whose suit fit like a glove, as if it had been sewn by small forest creatures on furlough from Cinderella. Join the ARC team! www.baileygalbreit.com/arc-signup #booksky #writesky #paranormal #vampires #ghosts

In Book I and II of the Rest in Grift series, various characters come Out (in Book II, everyone close to the couple knew already). In Book III, a M/M/F throuple enters the conversation. In Book IV, a Sapphic couple formerly known to date men become more open with their friends but not the public.

Episode 4 of Stupid Scammer Tricks! #stupidscammertricks #booksky #writesky #writing #writingcommunity #scams

Scammers, work on your plausibility. Don't pretend to be a world-wide bestselling author who suddenly asks an unpublished author about her "writing journey". Come on! Guess it's time to post another Stupid Scammer Tricks! #booksky #writesky #writingscams #writingcommunity #stupidscammertricks

it's evidently too much to ask the rw justices to consider the irreparable harm to individuals treated to such inhumanity. they are complicit in this criminality. shame on all six of them. and shame on us for having a system that allows this illegality.

The GOP is trying to wage a new Red Scare, labeling everything Dems want to do as socialism or communism, but the way authoritarian governments behave, whether left or right wing, is functionally identical: targeting dissidents, destroying the environment, and degrading everyone's quality of life.

Absolutely NOT okay. The families should sue.

"What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. How small-minded, narcissistic." Maria Shriver reacts to the narcissist-in-chief shutting down the Kennedy Center (and potentially demolishing it) because he can't get his name on it like a giant toddler.

:snort:

I have friends who write romance but am not a romance writer myself and only occasionally read it. (I used to read it more.) This is an almost impressively bad take on the genre from someone who is clearly carrying a chip on his shoulder about the topic for some reason that sounds potentially juicy.

Plus, you'll be saving yourself, because becoming dependent is the fastest way to kill your brain.

It's not only a blatant bribe--since it's based on whether the GOP wins, it's a sideways attempt to hire thugs who want the payoff to do whatever they can to prevent anyone from voting any other way. ICE won't need to be at polling places if random MAGA terrorists are there to intimidate voters.

You know who else is worried about being a target for testifying to seeing someone murdered? People who witness mob killings. Just saying.
