It is amazing to me that they'll just keep giving you new driver's licenses so long as you don't have driving-related infractions or whatever. What if I actually haven't driven a car in the past 5 years, huh? Am I really still qualified to have this? 🫠

It's Stitch & Bitch Sunday for the month of July on my channel, 11am PT/1pm CT/2pm ET/9pm EET. Join us as we chat books, crafts, media, and more! #booksky #booktube #sff youtube.com/live/fpN-JFz...

Uh... YouTube Studio? You doing okay?

Omg, haha, I had an eye exam a block away from here this morning and was wondering what all the hullabaloo outside was when I left, but my eyes were too dilated to hang around and investigate. Yikes!

Afternoon boost!

Looking for forthcoming SFF books to get excited about in the second half of the year? I've got you covered with my Anticipated releases of July through December! #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/dHW-rJTsZFc

The ISU reinstates Russia and Belarus skaters for the 2026-27 season as neutral athletes - if you need a text version of what the reinstatement means for the season and for Challengers, Grand Prix, and ISU Championships, everything is summarized here: bit.ly/4vIik3e

I'm reading for the #HugoAwards and ended up spending last night trying to wrangle my thoughts on A Drop of Corruption (and to a certain extent its predecessor, The Tainted Cup) into written review format. There will be a video version at some point. #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Tomorrow is Primary Election Day in New York, but I already voted early last week! Neither of the two races on my ballot this time around were particularly inspiring, but voting is still important. #IVoted

I'm usually a hot tea snob, preferring it over iced even in the summer, but I am really, really enjoying refrigerator-chilled hojicha (sans actual ice) at the moment. Made with loose-leaf, not the powdered version that's trendy right now. Might be my beverage of the summer this year.

Morning boost!

Time for a big, chonky video about all the series I don't plan to continue reading from the past few years! #booktube #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/x6iPgyuTIeA

Editing oodles of footage for a "Series I'm Probably Not Going to Continue" video, and the hardest books to talk about are always the ones that just mostly okay. #booksky #booktube

I have partaken of a proud holiday weekend tradition and purchased a mattress on sale! This is way, way overdue. My current mattress was originally a roommate's and was the cheapest memory foam thing on Amazon 12 years ago. It was sagging in the middle even before I moved into my current apartment.

My dad is migrating away from Kindle due to having one of the old ones that's being un-supported by Amazon. Does anyone know a good way to give an epub he can read on another device/app as a gift? Father's Day is coming up. #booksky

Have any Hugo Voters on here gotten approved for A Drop of Corruption through the Netgalley link? I hate NG as distribution for voter packet materials because it tanks my review % when I don't review them, but at least in the past all the links were for immediate download. #HugoAwards #SFF

The second screenshot option I didn't end up using for the thumbnail of my "Unsexy Fairies" book recs video is too cute a photo not to share! Really feeling myself here! 🧚‍♀️🌟🖤

Starting in half an hour!

I was asked to recommend fairy books that aren't romantasy, so here you go, The Great Unsexy Fairy Book Recommendations Video! #boosky #booktube #sff 🪐📚 youtu.be/rBoVj0cJmU0

Hey friends, the Stitch & Bitch crew are planning a special livestream this afternoon to react to the Hugo shortlist! It'll be me, @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, @bookishdi.bsky.social, and @bookfinch.bsky.social (sadly no Rachel 😢) at 12 pm PT/2 pm CT/3 pm ET/10 pm EET youtube.com/live/5pJJJYW...

I got some quick Hugo Awards predictions posted as a short-form video before the nominees are announced tomorrow! It's on both TikTok and YouTube Shorts! #booksky #booktok #booktube #HugoAwards #sff 🪐📚 www.tiktok.com/@thefancyhat...

So I was editing a Hugo predictions video in TikTok and the whole thing somehow completely deleted itself when I tried to add a forbidden number of image overlays. 😭 I have now made a single-image collage, but am pissed about having to re-film the video.

We’ll be live in one hour!

Tomorrow, join @kalanadi.bsky.social, @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social, @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social and I for April's Stitch & Bitch! We'll be going live at 11 am PT/1 pm CT/2 pm ET/8 pm EET youtube.com/live/JXEhoX0...

Weekend morning boost for the new video!

New #booktube video, and it's an unhaul for the new(ish) year! #booksky #sff 🪐📚 youtu.be/oWbmfwzunF4

Friends, I have just picked up a library hold on a new title (I'm the first person to read this copy) and got it home to find the dust jacket is taped on upside down. This is extremely funny to me, but now I cannot read the book in public, can I? 🤣

A few of my favorite looks from today's Easter Bonnet Parade! #EasterBonnet #EasterBonnetParade #NYC

My hat and outfit for today's Easter Bonnet Parade! I was there for a little over an hour before the rain started to be too much.

I believe it is good for the soul to be the weird thing someone saw on the subway every once in a while (Easter Bonnet Parade photos to come.)

Stitch & Bitch is a group liveshow series on YouTube that is hosted in rotation by myself and my co-hosts @bookishdi.bsky.social, @kalanadi.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social, and sometimes @breereadsbooks.bsky.social. We chat about what we're reading, crafting, watching, and more!

#HugoAwards nominations are closing soon, so this is my last-minute eligibility announcement that I have two things eligible in Best Fancast: the Stitch & Bitch liveshow series and my BookTube channel The Fancy Hat Lady Reads!

Today on my channel! We've got a lot to talk about on our March Stitch & Bitch livestream what with awards season, etc. We'll be discussing books, crafts, media, and more! 2:00 Eastern, check your time zones if you're in a country where the clocks haven't changed. youtube.com/live/NIynpuO...

2:00 Eastern today! I am just two days post-surgery and will be joining on audio only, but definitely need to talk about the Olympic figure skating! (and books and stuff)

I’m awake and doing well following my surgery! I’m gonna not be online until I’ve had a chance to watch the figure skating though because I don’t want spoilers. 😉

The monthly liveshow I co-host with @kalanadi.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social, @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social, and @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, Stitch & Bitch, is eligible for Best Fancast this year www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

During the Olympics??? Don't they know figure skating fans need those Etsy witches to send healing and luck to their favorite skaters?!? (This is a joke, obviously this hurts people's businesses no matter when it happens, but also this is a real thing skating fans have been doing this season.)

Camera cut to JD Vance in attendance after Chock/Bates skated their rhythm dance in the team event. Boo. Hiss. Hope he hates 90s music and was suffering. ⛸️
