Once again I am thwarted in my attempt to work today 🥲

Oh since I'm talking about library books, here's a plug for the greatest browser extension of all time: www.libraryextension.com It'll put a little popup on Goodreads, the evil A-site, and anywhere else you might look up books that tells you if the book is available at your local library!!

Every week at this point, I make three vegan spreads for the rest of the week - potato salad, cheese and hummus. I base it on tins and a trusty hand blender and it takes maybe 15-20 munitues total. I rec.

Made my grandparents' káposztás tészta for lunch, cabage pasta, with sauerkraut, yay! Vegan, easy and yummy!

I wanna know who everyone’s favorite X-Men are!!!

“I think about the term ‘soulmates‘ and what that means. People always think it applies to romantic relationships, but over the years I’ve learned a thing or two about souls and how they connect with each other. It can be romantic, sure, but it can be other things too.”

It's more pleasant to be a person writing a book than a patient being told off by a doctor for being fat.

You're trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you? It's time to have a nonbinary person on Bridgerton

The ABC book challenge, day 14, N: Nightfall by Isaac Asimov & Robert Silverberg I read this in a bookstore as a kid sneaking out of school (which is ironic, as I chose it over Neverending Story for this). I loved it, but I don't remember that much. #BookChallenge

Someone said that Wolverine/Cyclops is sunshine/grumpy, leaving me to wonder who is the sunshine.

The ABC book challenge, day 13, M: Make You Mine This Christmas by Lizzie Huxley-Jones This book was so delightful it got Maya to read romance :)<3 #BookChallenge #QueerBook

The ABC book challenge, day 12, L: The Luis Ortega Survival Club by Sonora Reyes Lovely queer, autistic and survivor representation, lovely book #BookChallenge #QueerBook (forgot the photo yesterday to posting again)

I want a list of fan fiction like this, and I want to not have read most of it so I can read it now. (but not really, it's good that fan fiction is not centralized)

"Heated rivalry shouldve been about 2 ugly old guys that play mahjong then maybe id consider watching it" --badassdemonsword on Tumblr

Love how beautiful my sisters are. Those that hate us see us shining so bright, but they can never snuff us out.

The thing with the enemies-to-lovers trope is I get invested in the enemy part

We read My Boyfriend is a Bear! With thanks to @sidewalksiren.bsky.social for the recommendation! #comicsky

Request for information: I had a request from a prospective PhD student who is looking to work on fanfiction and AI writing. Do you know anyone who might be in a position to receive a proposal about this? (I cannot supervise PhD students myself.) Thanks. @fanstudies.bsky.social #FanStudies

Maybe I’m gonna survive after all!

The ABC book challenge, day 11, K: Kindred by Octavia E. Butler This book stayed with me in a big way. It is so vivid and real, horribly and wonderfully. #BookChallenge

Thanks, PowerPoint. It's important to give students a clear image of key theorists.

Wrote 2123 words and met a kit

Times I get excited for an event to happen, so I can finally stop getting notifications that it's going to happen.

I gave and borrowed the Heated Rivalry first book from the library.

The ABC book challenge, day 10, J: Just Girls by Rachel Gold #BookChallenge #TransBooks #QueerBook

Same, friend

it’s hard out here rn. here are some pics of my cats to cushion the tumult. I love you, please survive 💕

SPEAKING OF TRANS AUTHORS ...who should probably go to bed.

Buy and read books by trans authors. Buy things from trans-owned shops. It's more important now than ever, and some of the best books I've ever read are by trans authors. I don't have time to make a list tonight, but I'll try to make and post one tomorrow.

Queen of Faces by Petra Lord, because it was recommended a lot on social media. (I also mistakenly got another book but that'sa different story)

The ABC book challenge, day 9, I: In the Serpent's Wake by Rachel Hartman I love this series, that gets more and more trans and queer with every book. #BookChallenge

Every time I make bread the recipe moves further away from the original. Today it contains preserved lemons.

Maya: my throat is sore and I sound raspy. I should have at least gotten a role on Supernatural out of it.

it is true, buckaroos genuinely want their erotica to be made by humans because erotica is art and art is about genuine connection. many 'bizzaro' writers immediately switched to ai covers or writing and it revealed to the world WHY they write. this has and will backfire on them. nobody wants that

Also, the reasons are that in fan fiction they 1) have so much emotion and familiarity with the characters 2) are often crafted with deep knowledge and genuine fantasy 3) are often chosen for the reader's own tastes

My lukewarm take on sex scenes is that I've never read one in a book that came close to how good they get in fan fiction.

I like to add edgy unhinged parts to my books just to keep the normies at a distance.

This is open through the end of the day today! Grab one Grab ‘em all Thank yourself later

The ABC book challenge, day 8, H: The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, by J.R.R. Tolkien I can't not choose what is one of my very favorite books of all time. it's what I named my gender after as a kid who didn't know the word 'genderqueer'. It's funny, sweet, clever and impactful. #BookChallenge

I passed 30000 words of my draft🏳️‍⚧️

The ABC book challenge, day 7, G: Garden of the Gods by Gerald Durrell When I was a kid I found this book wonderfully hilarious, and the fact that there was a queer couple in it was very meaningful for me. It's probably best I don't read it again as an adult, sadly. #BookChallenge

The ABC book challenge, day 6, F: Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars by Kai Cheng Thom One of my very favorite books. It pulls you in and keeps you enthralled. Beautiful. #BookChallenge #QueerBook

cabin fever but for like, being trapped in an entire country instead of close quarters

2632 words, yay By the power of puppy?

Weiting at a coffee shop next to the cutest dog to ever puppy 💜

Literally losing sleep over an interphobic, transphobic comment I got when presenting my paper.
