I've volunteered for political campaigns for literally 40 years. And one thing that's always helped when things look bleak is the knowledge that there is ALWAYS something practical you can do to help make things better -- whether through electoral politics or other kinds of service. For example...

Can't believe I'm doing this, but after this SCOTUS b.s., I am sharing my protection spell. I'm not a witch - I actually learned it at an ad agency. It's worked 95% of the time, for me AND people I've shared it with 🧵

Only 1 month till DO ME A FAVOR comes out... and it's got a GoodReads giveaway! Widowed Willa is trying to start over with this assignment: write a cookbook for a "sexy" viral video chef. But she's stuck -- until she meets her handyman neighbor. www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

I have 45 eggs in my fridge and more on the way. Egg recipes, especially dinners, would be welcome. (I already made quiche and flan!)

Working on my first online course for Rock Your Writing, my plot system. Soft launching a beta version for 1/2 off in July. (If you're interested, sign up for the newsletter on rockyourwriting.com.) Anyway, been a learning experience using OBS, but fun!

If you’ve been looking for a way to help Congolese people displaced by war, I’m working with Focus Congo to raise funds for water filters. Easily preventable water-borne disease is rampant in the camps, and we can stop it! Any amount, even $5, helps! gofund.me/5617f359

Help Bring Clean Water to Congo, organized by Alyssa Colegofund.me People in Congo's displacement camps need CLEAN WATER, and we're going to help them get it… Alyssa Cole needs your support for Help Bring Clean Water to Congo

I'm slowly trying to migrate over here and cut off twitter completely. I'm a Gen X romance writer, a writing coach, a K-pop and K-drama fan (Staytiny!), proudly biracial Viet-American. Oh, and foodie and cooking anime/show/film junkie. Hi!

Weird for-a-book question: if I said Wedgewood blue, would you know what color that was?

If you don’t know why Substack should not be supported, they directly fund many of the most hateful leaders of the attacks on trans people, and their CEO explicitly refuses to stop people who spread white supremacy on the platform. https://www.tiktok.com/@decoderpod/video/7221602731998498094

Decoder with Nilay Patel on TikTokwww.tiktok.com Our host Nilay asked Substack CEO Chris Best the tough questions about whether racist speech should be allowed in their new consumer product, Substack Notes. #techtok #technews #substack #ceo

This is the cover of my July release! And I love it. :) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFFM9BK5

Writers, this site needs to see your book covers. Release the glory!

Romance people: I'm setting up a Discord "life raft" for people who want to migrate over here, but don't have an invite. It's pretty much going to be a waiting place, not a hang out. If you know anybody stuck on the bird site, can you share? https://discord.gg/at73VMfZ

Question for my Romancelandia friends (hopefully they're here?) -- what are your favorite books/scenes for sexual tension? Not sex. Tension.
