That means a lot coming from you!!! I always love how you tackle this theme yourself.

“many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers” is deep wisdom and you don’t need to reproduce to embrace it!

OpenAl and NORAD team up to bring new magic to "NORAD Tracks Santa" Listen to article 1:31 Share Every December, millions of families worldwide follow along as the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks Santa's journey across the globe. It is a tradition full of wonder, and this year we are excited to add a few new touches to help parents make the season feel even more magical. As part of the annual NORAD Tracks Santa program, OpenAl worked with NORAD to create three simple holiday tools within ChatGPT that parents and Christmas enthusiasts can use to bring extra joy into their homes. These are intuitive, fun, and easy ways to add something special to the celebrations. These tools are included in NORAD's holiday activities on the www.NORADSanta.org website.

OpenAI partnered with NORAD Santa Tracker this year to ensure that no corner of American government or childhood tradition is free from the Sacred Slop Funnel:

I have a friend who needs assistance at the airport. When we travel together, I accompany her. I would never pick this when travelling by myself! The wait for the assistance is longer than walking (if able). It’s fine, but definitely not better than just diy-ing security. Weird story.

A few days ago a few people were like, these must be connected and…they were right??? It’s so weird.

The book cover for The Ex-mas Breakup by author Zoe York. It shows a handsome white man looking straight ahead. His head is tilted slightly to his left and he’s giving a small smile. His hair is light brown, his eyes blue, and he has a beard. He’s wearing a green shirt and is showing off his forearms as he grabs the neckline of his shirt with both hands. The title is in white in the middle of the cover while the author’s name is at the bottom.

And they only want a ridiculous amount of money. Their whole business model is “make 1000 widgets that lose money because they create the aesthetic space around the 5 widgets that sell a million copies.”

Every decision is a gamble for those million sales. Nothing less.

I'm sharing difficult news: my wife has stage 4 metastatic cancer and is undergoing treatment. Please visit her GoFundMe page at gofundme.com/f/help-debbi... for support, or consider purchasing one of my novels at tinyurl.com/24nucxb9. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Amazing 🥰

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer:

A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea.

That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity.

Restrain it at your own peril.

Same same. When I stopped doing that, I found joy in my books again, and so did readers.

Congratulations!!!

What a rollercoaster of a season for leafs fans and their goalies

Last chance for 99¢ Christmas deliciousness. Tomorrow it goes back to full price.

I missed a Rose Lerner book!!! Thank you.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"

Sign on a library book drop sign requesting people to yell "NOT A SQUIRREL" to confirm they are human and not a squirrel trying to steal Keith's lunch.

squirrel: *points gun*
me: what do you want me to do?
squirrel: *gestures at sign*
me: alright, i get it *opens book drop*
squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion*
me: NOT A SQUIRREL!
squirrel: *disappears into book drop*
me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

HEY ROMANCELANDIA! @sesmith.lol is one of the very few writers I will accept an interview request from in January or February, which is basically the highest honor a romance author can bestow.

And Scarleteen is an AMAZING resource!

If you've got some $$$ throw it that way!

Me right now:

THIS IS BIG

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Yeah, valid 🥰

Fair :)

My next book comes out in three weeks but my Patreon members (including free followers!) have the first FIVE chapters tonight, and I gave them the choice of including the NSFW character art or not! www.patreon.com/zoeyorkwrites
