I saw that AI video of Trump yesterday and I think something broke in me? It's not the video. It's just this...this. I feel like I'm going insane every day. I'm tired. I'm scared. Of what we're becoming. I know it only seems like it's the worst it's ever been (I hope). I know we have to fight. 1/5

🖤🪱 COVER REVEAL 🪱 🖤 DIRT YOU SHALL BECOME will release on April, 22nd 2025! Four garden-themed horror short stories that'll make you side-eye the weeds in your garden. Find more info here: www.karenlykkebo.com/dirtyoushallbecome #HorrorSky #BookSky

didn't get the job thing :( well whatever at least i got nice earrings now!!

going to get my ears pierced today!! I had earrings when I was small, but one of my ears got inflamed for some reason and then I never had them again. I don't think it was an allergy because my mom says it was only on one of my ears. so I really hope nothing bad happens! I'm excited!! 😇

Should I put Skylark in the Fog on Netgalley? In theory, you can, older books too (2022 in this case). I'm sure there would be *some* interest, although Imbued didn't have a sweeping success either (...not that I expected it). I'm just hesitant; it's not *that* expensive with the co-op, but still.

My primary motivations to write: 1. The words....they need to......come out.....help...they're suffocating meeeeeee..... 2. "Please can someone else understand why this hurts? I'm not alone, right?" 3. I want y'all to love my babies as much as I love them! 4. Literally gets me through real life.

I barely remember the time when any info I wanted was not a bit of typey-typey away on the computer. Already that instinct (don't know something? --> google) feels like it's working against Actually Thinking About Stuff. With LLM we're eliminating critical thinking, decision making. Let's not!

UK government tell me whether I'll be employed from literally fucking next month: failed

not even gonna talk about the writing part, lol

can I PLEASE finish with admin for today and start the science part finalllyyyyy??! 😭😭

Both The Border Keeper and Second Spear are AMAZING! ✨🩷 If you like slightly weird, moody, twisty dark fantasy, do. not. miss them. (also A Heart Between Teeth short story in the same world which made me cry)

I should also put all my reads together in a thread like the cool kids. Here we go! First up was Planetfall by Emma Newman I LOVED IT bsky.app/profile/hely...

Currently reading 👀 #BookSky I'm in the interesting position of never having read The Expanse series (I did see the show and mostly loved it!) So, this will be fun. Very easy to read so far, although I have no idea where we're going! 😄

not yet entirely sick! 🤞 I can feel it but my body is holding out all those vitamins better do their job!! 😤
