The responses to the concerns about Spoutible’s content policy are evenly split between “OBVIOUSLY romance authors aren’t in violation, quit being hysterical” and “We don’t want smut-peddlers here, get your own app!” The policy is so vague even its defenders can’t agree on what it means.

Yeah personally I can’t make an internet home in a place where grown adults have to behave like pure angels of innocence according to vague, arbitrary, and incoherent standards, but if you’re for that, then go wild here, except don’t, because going wild will violate the TOS.

Y’all please don’t tell people who are wondering whether this site is going to pull a Tumblr and make it impossible to talk about the thing they do for a living that they’re “just getting mad” because we “want to make controversy.”

No. We’re trying to figure out if we want to invest time here.

Supposed liberals asking why the TOS language is an issue: MeToo isn't over, queer bodies and lifestyles are being attacked on the merits of parts parts daily, media that contains an iota of intimacy, including network TV shows, romance novels, and even YA books focusing on bodies, are bannable.

Are you telling me that the Romance novel community are the ones in uproar about the nudity policy and somehow the lgbtq community got dragged into it? Am I reading this correctly? Wtaf?

No, but @courtneymilan is more than welcome to start a social media platform and write the terms of service and policies however she likes. But the policy isn't changing, nor

I had some big unruly thoughts about how this rising tide of AI is born out of our fetishization of THE IDEA, and how this also ties into puritanical thinking and fascism and -- well. Anyway. Give a read if you like.

Io Lupercalia!

This absolutely bonkers Roman festival features in one of my favorite sisterly moments in THE BLOODSTAINED SHADE.

Screenshot text: "Sorry, dear, I know you weren't looking to get struck." Aula was rubbing the blood off Alhena's cheek with a corner of her own mantle. *She* had gotten a thorough splatter, decorating her right arm like a set of bracelets. "I almost fell right in the street!" Aula laughed. "Did you see?" | "Everyone saw, you shameless flirt," Latona said. A modest streak of red marked the back of her hand, though whether a direct strike or a splash off Aula, Alhena wasn't sure. "I don't know why everyone--
Screenshot text, continued from previous: "--alwyas made a fuss about *my* decorum when you're as subtle as a stick in the eye." | "Widow's privilege," Aula trilled. "Every comedic playwright knows it. We're *supposed* to be brazen and outrageous." | "You're something, all right." | "It was well worth it. That Young Caecilius might not have the wit to vote the right way if the Senate were debating whether to stand in the rain or take shelter, but did you *see* his--" | "Hard to miss it." | "And the way his ass-cheeks--" | "Yes, those too."

It's been two weeks since THE BLOODSTAINED SHADE's release, and readers are loving it!

✨ In the third book of the Aven Cycle, a trio of sisters and an ambitious senator use charm, wit, and magic to protect their city from ruin. ✨

I wish threading was simpler and more easily displayed here on @Spoutible . As-is, it's quite clunky to produce and difficult to follow.

Reasons Oona is mad at me today:
-I won’t let her chew on my foot.
-Her head has gotten too big to fit under the ottoman.
-I left the room for forty-five seconds.
-I won’t let her drink my wine.

The fact that Spoutible puts a flag after everyone's country has me twitching, because I'm so used to the American flag in the profile being a signal for "this is likely not a person you want to interact with" over on the Bird Site.

Black Colorado ranchers allege they are being ‘terrorized’ by white neighbors

Courtney and Nicole Mallory claim people have poisoned dogs, mutilated farm animals, burned a Black Lives Matter flag and spray painted racial slurs on their El Paso County farm. They were both arrested this week.

Ok, next up in our #BlackHistoryMonth /yarn mashup is the 1411 French medieval image of a Black Fair Maiden. This is how I represented her soft white dress with a blue strip & gold. This yarn is called "Black fair maiden." She's gorgeous. One of my favorites in medieval images.

In-the-moment numbers are always impossible to judge, because retailers don't all report swiftly, but based on what I *do* have...

THE BLOODSTAINED SHADE, self-pubbed and self-promoted, had certainly no worse a launch week than GIVE WAY TO NIGHT, and possibly quite a bit better.
