‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

My response to Canadian hockey fans booing the US national anthem, as an American hockey fan: Good. I want to boo it, too.

I agreed to read the first 1000 chapters of One Piece if my boyfriend read 10 books I picked out. I'm knee deep in pirates and he's halfway through Dracula.

It's only January and the horror book scene is already bumping

Reading an advanced copy of OUR WINTER MONSTER by @equinoxsociety.bsky.social . Brilliant. Brutal. Already a top book of the year for me.

New releases at work, now safely in my personal library. @seananmcguire.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social

Sorry to say we're closed today (Tuesday) 😔 Someone has bricked our window, robbed the cash drawer and, bizarrely, the Bluetooth speaker 🎶 All the books are safe! Turns out robbers dont read. If you wanna help out this struggling queer bookshop our website is still open Merry bloody Christmas 😥

Tattoo consultation today, wish me luck!

Newest rabbit hole: the lost Franklin expedition

What a queen

I just jumpscared myself. Put overalls with metal clasps in dryer. Turned dryer on. Went back to horror book, at peak climax of story. CLANG CLANG CLANG Fuuuuuuck

Parner has taken over the couch. Must read on bed. Must not fall asleep on bed. Must not fall asleep. Must

Just spent two and a half hours ugly crying through Wicked

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

It's Small Business Saturday, swing by @portersqbooks.bsky.social in Seaport or Cambridge and do some holiday shopping!

Holidays to me are the lead up, not the actual day.

Mario Bava night

Were you a normal teenager, or did you make The Lady of Shalott your entire personality?

I love giving gifts but hate what it does to my finances

My work is doing your holiday shopping for you! Except, you know, you have to buy them.

all due respect, death first

I just wanna be a little goblin

I got through 60% of that Vanity Fair article and honestly, yeah, it tracks.

Starting my holiday reads with Erika Johansen's The Kingdom of Sweets, a (very) dark Nutcracker retelling.

My day so far: -fever (not covid) -broke word count -found out beloved family member is a cheeto supporter -gave up on everything else and came to bed to read.

I was having a day due to, you know, America, but my boyfriend treated me to an early holiday surprise. My first ever Pokémon, life size and fuzzy.

Been playing Yola's "Diamond Studded Shoes" on repeat. A little on the nose

Work treat

I found a dongle that can hook my keyboard to my iPad. A fix for writing san laptop? Writer shall see.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!

Since there are a lot of new people here: I will point out once again that Paul Singer, the billionaire who owns Barnes & Noble and Waterstones, donated $5m to a MAGA SuperPAC earlier this year, and that’s the money we know about.
