It's the third year I've made this roasted vegetable hummus platter for Christmas at my vegan dad's house. It's way too complicated a recipe to manage in my apartment kitchen at home, but a very delicious holiday tradition, and very photogenic!

4 out of 5 stars to The Incandescent by Emily Tesh on Goodreads: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

HANDS OFF NYC! NO TROOPS - NO ICE! Sun, Dec 14, 1-2pm Trump Tower NYC 5th Ave was closed to traffic today creating a pedestrian-only zone. Rise and Resist took the street and sent a clear message to ICE that their agents aren’t welcome in NYC! FIGHTING FASCISM WITH ALL THE JOY THAT WE CAN MUSTER

It's my annual TikTok video of all the books (mostly SFF) I'm giving to people for the holidays this year! As usual, if you are one of my regular holiday giftees, best to avoid this one for spoiler reasons. 😉 #booksky #booktok 📚🪐 www.tiktok.com/@thefancyhat...

Earlier this year I had a gastroenterologist try to convince me that caffeine content from highest to lowest went: coffee black tea green tea matcha Hahahahahaha.... (and no, I will not be cutting down on tea for my gut health, thank you)

3 out of 5 stars to How to Find a Nameless Fae by A.J. Lancaster on Goodreads: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

3 out of 5 stars to The Virtu by Sarah Monette (aka Katherine Addison) on Goodreads: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Announcing a BRAND NEW Gilded Age fantasy of ballrooms, bargains, and bloodshed from the one and only @nghivo.bsky.social!! The Scarlet Ball commences October 2026 🩸

New #booktube video: All my series in progress I want to continue reading! #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/LFfleLpW8WU

If I had to confess to secretly liking one of this skating season's terrible '90s rhythm dance programs in a guilty pleasure sort of way, it would be Lopareva/Brissaud's Eiffel 65/Daft Punk mashup. They are always so funky and weird, and they just kind of embrace it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBRb...

2 out of 5 stars to The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan on Goodreads: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

📚 50% off ebooks because capitalism i guess use code UGHFINE or you could just buy them! up to you 📚 www.neonhemlock.com/ebooks

I have once again become negligent in posting my Goodreads reading updates here on Bluesky. This thread is a catch-up of everything I've read from the start of September until now. #booksky 🪐📚

I love Wakaba Higuchi's Wonder Woman free skate so much, it breaks my heart that she's injured in her final season and may never get to skate it to its full potential.

Stitch & Bitch November liveshow in an hour on my channel! (with @kalanadi.bsky.social @bookfinch.bsky.social and @bookishdi.bsky.social ) Join us as we chat books, crafts, media, and more! youtube.com/live/pYHEHpH...

Of the titles available in the US, I have read and can recommend both Saint Death's Daughter (still need to read the sequel!) and A Theory of Haunting. Get some cheap ebooks here!

My channel, this Sunday!

For someone who neither cares much for Thanksgiving nor wants to travel for it this time of year, I get really irrationally upset over not being invited to anyone's Thanksgiving.

This is the place that sells teas inspired by The Locked Tomb series and DOES NOT do any h*rry p*tter teas AT ALL, how cool is that??? www.fridaytea.com/collections/...

The ISU not allowing songs released in December 1989 or January 2000 for the "90s dance party" theme BUT ALLOWING "90s style" AI-generated music is such a WILD choice #GPFigure #FigureSkating

Just when I thought the '90s rhythm dance theme couldn't get any worse...

What is this cursed new metric in YouTube Shorts analytics, and why do I have none of it??? 😭 😅

A few days ago I posted my "10 Before the End" TBR for the rest of the year on TikTok! (now also on YouTube as a short) #booktok #booktube #booksky 🪐📚 www.tiktok.com/@thefancyhat...

Pretty great day for a #IVoted selfie!

Pumpkin carving has begun!

The promised book haul is finally here! #booktube #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/HikypSHZr9g

On the ISU commentary for the Grand Prix, in addition to the mispronounced names...

Just under one hour!

I feel that if you can't even approximate a correct name pronunciation for the reigning Olympic champions (among many others) despite correct announcements in the arena, you should not be commentating on major figure skating competitions for the ISU stream. #GPFigure

Note that tomorrow is going to be our October Stitch & Bitch livestream! Watch out!

I have finally filmed the spectacularly large book haul I've been dreading! Video incoming whenever I finish editing it! #boooktube

Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it. www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

I just... really love books. Books, I love 'em. Yum yum.

In one hour!

Got my covid shot at CVS in NY today no problem thanks to Governor Hochul’s executive order. Whee!

morning boost!

My new #booktube video tonight is a double book review of Godkiller by Hannah Kaner and These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs! #booksky 🪐📚 youtu.be/iLBrlxnopUA

I believe I suffer from a very specific curse, where any time I walk into a food establishment with the intent to order something other than my regular, it will inevitably be the first time an employee lights up with recognition and says, “<your regular>, right?” How could I say no to that???

I just got one of those bogus music copyright claims on my most recent #TikTok video where it's just me talking to camera, no music whatsoever. No way to appeal, the sound they claim was copyrighted was just minutes of faint room noise that sounded like nothing at all unless you turned it waaay up.

I now have a full written review up on Goodreads for These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs, which I read in August (video review coming soon). 4 out of 5 stars: #booksky 🪐📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

On TikTok, I responded to a comment about the differences between the #HugoAward and Ursula K. Le Guin Prize shortlists! #booktok 🪐📚 www.tiktok.com/@thefancyhat...

I do not like how early it is getting dark. I do not like the nip in the air. Summer isn't great here, but I want it back anyway.
