The outreach group Bookstore Romance Day parted ways with the Romance Writers of America and best-selling author Deanna Raybourn returned the 2008 trophy she won from the organization for penning the Best Novel With Strong Romantic Elements, saying “I want no honors from them.”
“We have lost the trust of our membership and the romance community and we must find a way to rebuild that,” the organization said in a statement. “We will strive to uphold the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do.” Damon Suede, who had been named president-elect, was made president.
Milan blasted back: “The notion of the submissive Chinese woman is a racist stereotype which fuels higher rates of violence against Asian women,” Milan wrote. “It is hard not to be upset about something that has done me and my loved ones real harm.” Tisdale further alleged that Davis had lost a book deal over the online attacks and compared having Milan on the Romance Writers of America's ethics committee to having a ”neo-Nazi in charge of a UN human rights committee."
I don’t read this genre, but I’m so conflicted over this post.
Well they were hardly going to describe them as sexy snake eyes, like melanoma’s eyes
That's because this one can eat...
Jeez .....Nothing better to do or stir up?
How, pray tell, will the esteemed Romance Writers of America possibly recover from the tarnish of this scandal?

'It's not going away': Vets still seeing cases of dog heart problems linked to grain-free foodExotic ingredients and boutique brands may also be linked to the health issues. 😥 Beware food marketing. Our vet gave us a heads up about this a year ago. Switched to a food that includes grains. Sigh...not so different from the eggs are bad, eggs are good, etc. that we see in human nutrition research. I doubt it's because it's grain free. Any highly processed food will eventually destroy an animal or human's system. Animals as well as people should eat as close to natural food as they can.

‘Sex Can Be Anything’Poet, activist, and sex worker Rachel Rabbit White talks the innate pressures of heterosexuality, the similarities between writing and desire, and whether she thinks today’s young people have a new relationship to gratification I haven’t read the poetry, to be fair but the sex worker bit got her the book deal and this article. We’ve sunk this low in our society. I write a literary Alice in Wonderland parody yet this girl calls herself “Rabbit” without irony. Sad fuckin times.

Thoughts on Little Women, By a Few WomenLike much of the art that’s created by women and about women, Greta Gerwig’s Little Women has inspired a lot of handwringing about what it all means, becoming, as it was fated to be, a prism through which we’re supposed to understand something vital about feminism and sexism. Men don’t care about Little Women or actual little women. Jo is a GirlBoss, or Jo is an inspiration to all women writers and artists. Little Women is a white feminist manifesto and should be less white. Not with my sister.
