smoothunicorn.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I know this sounds like virtue signaling and I promise it’s not. I feel like I’m missing something incredibly important, something that is keeping me from having even the slightest understanding of the world I live in. I am asking someone to explain it to me.

I do not understand cruelty. Like, logically. I can see other points of view, even if I disagree. I can empathize with other people’s pain. But my whole life, I have never been able to comprehend cruelty. Even casual cruelty. People being mean on the internet. I don’t get it.

This is one of the coolest dresses I’ve ever seen. I love her so goddamn much. Also: I love Christian Siriano. Goddess bless him for making ALL of his clients look and feel this gorgeous. More designers need to follow his lead on this.

Look I am 1000% here for men branching out on the red carpet. I think this is a nice color on him and I am so relieved for a break in black tuxes. Chalamet takes risks and I appreciate that a lot.

Brunch at the Oscars has begun! Let me explain what I’m doing today. I am watching the Oscars. The whole thing. All day. Eating junk food and being catty about dresses. I am not thinking about or talking about the state of the country or the world today. Do you hate it? Mute me. Sound fun? Join me!!

It’s the 10th anniversary of that time I was looking for health insurance and @smoothunicorn.bsky.social looked at me from across the couch and said “it would be cheaper and easier if we got married and I just added you to mine.”

A peril of working from home is you might forget before that important call with an important vendor that you wore your Buffy the Vampire Slayer sweatshirt today. (Don’t worry though, I remembered.)

God dammit motherfuck. Don’t be me and randomly decide to look up your favorite teacher from 24 years ago. Anyway read about Mr. Wood, who taught me how to read and write and even watch movies, and whose lessons I carry with me every day. Then go hug a teacher. obits.dallasnews.com/us/obituarie...

If you haven’t, I highly recommend this switch. Not only is it Not Amazon, but it’s a much less toxic place than GR, and there’s cool metrics!!! And fun challenges!!!

💙📚 currently reading: Tenderloin by Joy Sorman (trsltd by Lara Vergnaud), which is perhaps not my most typical fare but is absolutely fucking excellent. Recommend a very strong stomach as it’s about butchery (the food kind) but it’s some of the most gorgeous writing I’ve ever read. I’m in love.

ARE YOU USING TURBOTAX TO FILE YOUR TAXES? Triple. Check. Everything. When you’re finish Deductions & Credits, go BACK to that section and make sure EVERYTHING is filled out. They initially obscured our education credits. When I manually clicked back, I was suddenly able to add them.

I’d love to read about some more obscure sports in romances. Is there a curling romance out there? Fencing? Did anyone get around to writing a book that was thinly veiled fan fiction about the Turkish sharpshooter? #romancelandia

How I arrived on Bluesky

Literally how does anybody watch any entertainment and come away feeling okay with what’s happening in our country? Like so many of our most beloved stories are about scrappy groups of young hippie liberals fighting back against a fascist regime. How does this work??

The only way out is through. The only way through is with love as my shield and hope as my weapon.

My plan is this: pay no attention to the words they say. Pay close attention to the laws they pass. Make more art. Write more stories. Love harder and broader than I ever have. Rest. Resist doomerism (i.e. obeying in advance). Seek moments of fierce, spiteful joy. And embrace my community.

Most men in romance novels respect boundaries, wash their balls, make sure she comes first, care about their children, are emotionally intelligent, and loyal to their relationship. And then men make fun of women reading "fluff novels." Because apparently those are unreasonable things to yearn for?

Do you think cats think we’re cute? Like, do they see us sleeping and giggle and go “aww, look at them! How are they comfortable like that? They’re so adorable and weird.”?
