So far, very likable cast. Some very sweet moments. General vibe is very good! #Survivor48

#CosmereYear update: Mistborn era one complete. Eleventh Metal and Secret History complete. On to Elantris! #Booksky📚💙

The Traitors are merciless in their Tom Sandoval edit and it is EXCELLENT

#CosmereYear continues - just finished Hero of Ages like three minutes ago and I am a mess. Should not have finished it mid work day, and now I must live with the consequences. Someone please direct me to the best reading order for the next book! #BookSky📚

Are we getting a Traitors round table next week?? #TraitorsUS

I have been genuinely shocked by the amount of excitement around Onyx Storm on account of how Fourth Wing was… not good? I’m not even trying to be contrarian - I will bandwagon a romantasy with the best of ‘em. But that book was mid at best. #BookSky #BookTok

Welp

“How would you feel if I tapped you on the shoulder? Would you feel like I betrayed you, Tom?” “Yes” “Doesn’t feel so nice, does it?” That one interaction was worth dealing with Sandoval on #TraitorsS3 but please let him get murdered first

Instead of committing to listening to new music this year I’m committing to listening to the same music I’ve listened to since 2013. Why kid myself, ya know?

The difference between Threads and Bluesky is that here I feel I can admit that I took my toddler to daycare today even though I have the day off without being told I shouldn’t have had kids if I was just going to let strangers raise them. 🙃

For the love of god, do not circle back with me next week.

My Mt. Rushmore of #RealityTV personalities and or/hosts: Lisa Vanderpump Jeff Probst Sophie Munk (Love Island Aus) Stassi Schroeder Honorable mentions: Iain Sterling Captain Lee Head Stew Kate Ariana Maddox Andy Cohen - for group therapy Brought to you by my flu-ridden brain.

And they’re genuinely good books. This was such a lovely surprise and we get so excited every month to read our new book!

This country just reelected Donald Trump - It really shouldn’t be surprising to see people defend Justin Baldoni even after Blake has come through with receipts. But it is very sad. Blake isn’t faultless, but at worst she’s an annoying, spoiled Hollywood elite. She experienced bad onset behavior,

No one got the memo that we only *pretend* to do our jobs between holidays. If you do your job I have to do my job and that’s not fair

Threads is (nearly) just as insufferable as Twitter

NOOOOO NOT STANDARD TIME

I made a friend at the gym tonight cause we were both reading in the sauna. We had a great discussion about books. What a lovely human interaction.

Two banger episodes in a row - starting to redeem the 40s era for me. #Survivor47

#Cosmere progress: Just finished Well of Ascension and will be staring at the wall for the rest of the day 🙃 3 down, many to go. #BookSky

Come on, Slack, be a lil messy. Tell us who people are in a huddle with.

I can only keep up with new movies, tv, music, or books any given year. 2024 was the year of listening to new albums when they dropped and otherwise watching repeat reality tv and reading books that came out in 2007.

You guys we start gaining daylight today (I thought it didn’t start going up until winter solstice). I could cry. The 4:27pm sunsets are truly so depressing.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

I am so happy for the people that can just stop reading a book, but I am not one of them. DNF is not in my blood. I will stop reading for 6 months and inevitably pick up the terrible book because I want to get to the next book on my TBR. It’s not a good system, but here we are. #Booksky

Things I miss about old #Survivor: - 39 days - hidden immunity idols that are just idols - 2 starting tribes - loved ones visit - merge feast for everyone - long endurance challenges - reading of the votes months later and getting to hear from everyone once they’ve had time to process.

Kamala ran a much better campaign than anyone would have expected. If we would have had an open primary, she wouldn’t have gotten that chance, and I don’t think she’ll get the chance again. Would love to see her as Governor of CA though.

I do not need this kind of side eye from B&N.
