33 weeks pregnant and I am struggling with going into work every day. I’m so tired and sore 😭

32 weeks pregnant today! Stressed because there is still so much to do and I have no energy to do it 😭

How am I already 31 weeks pregnant? This is wild

Been monitoring my blood sugar levels for 3 days now and I have to say, I don’t think I have GD lol I’m barely changing my diet and my levels are fine. But better safe than sorry! Want to make sure baby boy is okay!

Update! I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes 😭 If you’ve had GD, let me know some of your favorite meals to control your levels! #gestationaldiabetes #firsttimemom

I failed my 1hr glucose test and now I have to do a 3hr one on Monday to make sure I don’t actually have Gestational Diabetes. I am so stressed because I feel like I’m going to fail that one too 😭

Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunters and you all were right. It is so good! I can’t stop watching edits of it on TikTok haha

Been out of work since July 4th due to accidental water damage in the bookstore I work. At least this is giving me time to catch up on my reading. Currently reading Night Shade by Autumn Woods 📚 #currentlyreading #booksky

The indie bookstore I work at was affected by a flood and is closed for the foreseeable future. Their sister store is still open and taking orders. It would mean a lot if you ordered something from them to show your support! www.northshire.com/aff/cassidyr...

I honestly can’t wait for the new Jurassic World movie 🙈

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

What scene from a movie never fails to make you cry? I’m talking one that even when you just describe it to someone, you end up in tears. Mine is when that one dinosaur gets left behind in Jurassic World 2

I just finished watching Sinners and dare I say that it was one of the best, if not THE best, movie I’ve seen so far this year

Boosting because what do you mean it only has 400 views? TikTok hates me 😭

If you create content on TikTok, have you noticed your views just tanking? I usually get a few thousands views per video and the past four are stuck around 400 views 😭

23 weeks pregnant today and I am getting stressed 😩 so much needs to be done around the house to prepare for baby boy!

On my way to NYC for my first ever publisher event! So excited to celebrate with @binderybooks.bsky.social

No one talk to me. My favorite fantasy show has been cancelled

I am so sick of starting a show on a streaming service, only for it to be cancelled. Makes me not want to start anything new. And yes this has to do with the cancellation of The Wheel of Time. I’ve watched and loved it since it came out in 2021.

Here it is, y’all! The official cover for Devil of the Deep, by @falenciajfwrites.bsky.social , featuring art by @blackgirlabsolute.bsky.social! This is a Haitian fantasy about a mermaid, a pirate and a navy caption who have to work together to tackle an underwater cult to save the world.

I just started the audiobook for Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab and I’m actually obsessed

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

I need to see Thunderbolts again 😭 I loved it!

Shield of Sparrows is beautiful in person!

The reason I’ve been so MIA lately 🥹 is it October yet?

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Remember to support an Indie Bookstore this weekend for Indie Bookstore Day! Let’s keep indies alive and booksellers (like myself) employed! www.northshire.com/aff/cassidyr...

If you didn’t know Boozhoo Books has expanded to publish Women in Horror! Here is what we are looking for! Happy to answer questions about Bindery! Share the post with #horrorwriters

Barnes & Noble is having a 25% off sale. Which includes our debut publication: Cry, Voidbringer. It’s also indie bookstore week. Can I ask you to spend the extra $3 and buy it from an indie instead? Please? I’d love to see indies surge with orders for Cry, Voidbringer this week. 🧵

Know a women who writes horror? Repost this! Currently open for submissions!

I saw a yard sign today praising “King Trump.” You all are gross

lol I crack myself up

I’ve read only one book in the past month and a half. I think this is the worst reading slump I’ve ever been in 😭

The indie bookstore I work for just promoted me to Social Media Manager (wild, I know). How cool would it be if we got their TikTok page a huge boost? They are only 6 followers away from 5k! www.tiktok.com/@northshireb...

I was promoted to Social Media Manager at my indie bookstore! Everyone go follow @northshirebooks.bsky.social here and on insta & TikTok. I posted a Come to Work with me video yesterday 😊

I’m afraid I haven’t seen enough commotion for Orange Wine 😔 Coming out this Latine Heritage Month, Orange Wine is steeped in the weight of inheritance and told with a bittersweet distance like the stories passed down from our elders. bookshop.org/a/20702/9781... www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

A Gentleman’s Gentleman is out today! This is a staff favorite! Bookseller Tara says it is “A delightful book with a brand of humor reminiscent of a Shakespearean farce.” Order this lovely romance novel today and get some free swag while supplies last! www.northshire.com/book/9780593...

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

Support during Black History Month is a double-edged sword: a flood in Feb, then a drought in March while attacks on our history and opportunities intensify. Black people deserve consistent investment. If you believe in my work in media criticism & publishing, $5/month helps: mareas.binderybooks.com

After a great start to my reading year in January, I have now only finished 1 book in February. Why am I like this? 😅
