Got my grubby little hands on an ARC of The Knight and the Moth and devoured it whole. WHAT HAVE I DONE? How can I wait over a year for the next installment of this masterpiece? (The answer is with cosplays. Planning has already begun and the brain rot has set in.)

Is it time to read Harrow? It’s time to read some mf Harrow. (Help)

Yay! My Intro to #CozyFantasy Video is now live on YouTube!!! #Booksky youtu.be/UWBOJgLAW70?...

When you finally, finally pay off one of your credit cards and your cat says, hold my beer. Anyway, lil dude is in for all night enemas and I am still in debt 😀

I really do hope that Bluesky succeeds in creating alternatives to Instagram and TikTok

I see authors sheepishly announcing books, or apologizing for good news. Friends: we’re enduring an onslaught of censorship and bigotry. I am PROUD that you wrote anything. Please yell about what you're doing. Art is a fuel to keeps many of us going.

Disclaimer for my new followers: I don’t do respectability politics here. I read all kinds of things. So if u came here because I told y’all to read “Are Prisons Obsolete”, plz don’t start tussling if u also see me talking about slutty books featuring beings from outer space… because balance!! 😭 💙📚

I need something that makes me feel like XO, Kitty does…. Or maybe I just need to start rewatching 😭 I’ve always been a sucker for a good boarding school story.

you’re a grown adult — start acting like it! also me while watching xo, kitty: giggling and kicking my feet 🤭🥰

Just a reminder to take time to fill your cup. #selfcare

Thanks to Onyx Storm, “Xaden is not white” is all over my timeline, so here’s this post again: the ambiguously described maybe man of color (and why I'm over it) mareas.binderybooks.com/item/Db59xLg...

I tend to not be a muter, but probably we should all do a little more self care via muting - and I didn't know about this option!

If you need some counterprogramming today: The Family of David Lynch invites everyone to join them in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm PST for 10 minutes. Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe. Zoom link: davidlynchfoundation.zoom.us/j/177174913

friendly reminder that while black history month is coming in February, it is important to read books by black authors year round! these are some of my fave (sorry for the error on the previous one this has been fixed) #fantasybooks #booksky #fantasybooksky

gentle reminder that books can be tools of a movement, but I encourage everyone recommending The Broposal as a political stance to also think about other ways you can help. While I appreciate the love, allyship should not start and end with reading fiction. Some tips: 🧵

I want to make this abundantly clear: fascism headed by tech oligarchs does not have a border. Whether you’re in a blue state or another country, it’s spreading like wildfire. Their greed is limitless. Hold your community close. We need each other now more than ever.

One thing of many I've always liked about David Lynch is his refusal to play the 21st century game where people not only call upon the artist to explain their work, but feel entitled to an explanation. They want to be told what it means, and Lynch is like, no, that's not how art works.

I love buying a bunch of sale books on libro.fm, it feels like I’m getting away with something lmao. Support locallllll

go.bsky.app/SdPc53C Decided to make a pack of my favourite bookish content creators who are on here that I met from Booktok or Bookstagram!

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

Senator Hirono ate Hegseth upppppp and so did Warren. Way to go 👌🏻

And yet for 16 months people have been in my comments with "free the hostages." It was never about the hostages. It was only ever about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land, as it has been since 1948.

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

When you want slow burn but you get insta-love. Maybe I’m alone, but an extreme slow burn isn’t just about how long it takes the characters to bang. It’s about how long it takes them to realize they have feelings. Right??? #booksky

"Not only did you share a thoughtless, cruel recipe, but you also had the audacity to call it the 'best chili recipe in the world.' Really? Have you tried every chili recipe? How do you think this makes the creators of other recipes feel?"

My friend Ashley lost her home in the LA fires. Most of you only know her as AC Bradley, the incredible writer behind the first two seasons of WHAT IF...? She is among the kindest, most supportive humans I have ever known. If you're a fan of her of her work, please help. gofund.me/587187d7

Angelenos, Mutual Aid LA made this list of resources during the crisis. It's very helpful. Please share.

okay now that there’s a bunch of new people coming over from Facebook: Go to Settings > Accessibility > turn on “always require alt text” It’s a little bit of extra effort that enables people with visual or certain cognitive disabilities to feel welcome and partake in whatever you’re posting :)

If you haven’t heard of Indigenous book bingo yet, it’s time to catch up! What a great way to diversify and decolonize your TBR. Here are all of the books featured in round one! Meet your new favorite author. 🧵

LA BlueSky, here’s a post where you can share resources and links to mutual aid for those that need it in the replies. I’m in West Hollywood but happy to help folks in any way I can.

Book recs similar to the show My Happy Marriage ??? (other than the manga, which I just got from the library)

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

My husband’s favorite snow day pastime is apparently standing in the window like a mysterious lord in a gothic castle disdainfully surveying his lands (and definitely not at all like a dog eager to bark at squirrels)

Epic midwest snowstorm means hunkering down with a good book (or 5), a rotation of hot beverages, soup for dinner, and craft projects at the ready 😌 Pic of Calcifer coveting my yarn bowl for tax

To avoid automatically using AI in every Google search thanks to their no-one-asked-for-this AI summaries, you can type -ai or &udm=14 in the search terms. Or you can switch your default search engine (I switched to Duck Duck Go, which has the added benefit of being private).

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/h...

I am NOT vibing with the narrator for my current read 💀 I hate to DNF but I might need to read a hard copy. I was on a roll with good narrators too.

Post a witch ✨
