This is my Nephew dog! He has Megaesophagus, and he is in a contest to be in a calendar of M.E. dogs only. Can you click and give him a vote so he can be on the calendar? #germanshepherd #dogsky m.cmpgn.page/KxmxR?sre=jm...

Woke up with the depression demon today, my avocados aren't ripe yet, my coffee wasn't good, and I'm broke til payday so I can't just like ...go get a decent coffee. That's not a good way to start a Monday. 😤

This is why I don't have irl friends. I don't easily make friends and often times friendships end and I never know the true why. I'm tired of being hurt, so I became a loner on purpose to shield from hurt.

Hey! Did you go to a protest today? Did you repost shit from protests today? Did you exist to spite the fuckers trying to get you/us down? I'm fuckin proud of you for it.

A thrift store book haul today. Some classics and some 'this just looks interesting'. This whole stack was less than $10. #booksky #books #stack

Can someone from #gardensky explain why jt cilantro got leggy all of a sudden? I have it in full sun and I water every day or every other day (depending on temp/weather/disabilities) and my Thyme did this as well 😭.

Quick library run today! I'm planning on spending the weekend reading in my favorite chair (assuming my teenager doesn't steal said chair) and hoping to get through at least one book. #booksky #queerreads #pride

For anyone who is curious what it's like being agoraphobic: - If you socially misstep, you can't go back to that place. Even something super small and basic, and even if you apologize. - You always misstep. Somehow. - This translates to online spaces as well. Anyway, today is dumb.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

How about a review for a book coming out next year? Seriously this needs to go on your reading list for 2026. #booksky

Seeing a lot of fear from the younger folks about doing things to celebrate pride, so here's some advice from an elder who grew up queer in the south: - Largely the ones with the biggest mouths are the first ones to back down - Courage is doing the thing anyway even though you're scared.

I am super proud to announce that I am a reviewer now on both Netgalley AND Edelweiss! Do I get paid for this? Absolutely not. Do I get to read books and sound off about them? Yes!!

Okay so it's been explained to me that it's rude to automatically use gender neutral pronouns because it shows that you're lazy/not trying? And as a they/them, I'm genuinely confused because I use gender neutral as a rule until I know for sure what the person's preferred is. What? Help?

Starting this one this evening. It was a previous DNF due to it not being what I expected, but now that I know I am giving it another try. #appalachian #rednecks #booksky

How about a little #52bookclub reading update for the (nearly) midway point of the year!? I'm at 30 books out of 52, ahead by 10. This month has been by far my slowest. I'm also at 100% for my mini challenges!

A moody little stack from the used bookstore today. This whole stack set me back a whole $2.84 with tax included. #booksky #diversereads #books
