Someone definitely never read/didn't understand Babel or forgot how revolutions have historically had to resort to certain measures to overthrow oppressive regimes. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a descendant of a motherland whose freedom was FOUGHT for - not by sitting idly.

I'm going to be team BRAT by the way. Iykyk (I know there are still folks who have not watched the Direct - if that's you, what are you doing) #pokemon #legendsza

Alright I've watched the Direct and I'm back online. That was hype!!!

I'm gonna have to avoid the internet for 13 hours from 1am because I won't be able to watch the Direct until my partner gets home from work AAAAAAAAA I'll be so sad and mad if I get spoilers 😭😭😭

WE CALLED IT!!!! @jessanda.bsky.social

Made a predictions bingo for the upcoming Pokemon Direct with my friends @jessanda.bsky.social and Celsius. I'm so hype that I'm scared I'm just going to be disappointed lol

Wrapping up this month because I'm not finishing anything else. It didn't feel like I read 10 because 8 of these were the first 8 volumes of JJBA Steel Ball Run 😅 The other 2 were The Phoenix Keeper by S.A. MacLean and my best read this month that I can't talk about as it's published by SMP in US.

PLEASE help in anyway you can! Many authors and creatives in Oklahoma right now are in serious danger if something like this goes through! 3/3

Chiming in with two free resources. One was instrumental to getting me to conversational Spanish in 2 years, the other is the best free resource for learning conversational/colloquial Tagalog and grammar: www.languagetransfer.org/courses (ES, IT, FR, GR, TK, AR, etc.) learningtagalog.com

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

#BlackHistoryMonth is in a few days, and I want to boost #Blacksky bookish creators! First things first, I want you to go to the starter pack I linked below and follow ALL. Next, if you identify as a Black person & you post about books, please comment or DM me (more below) go.bsky.app/DzUqvPt

Currently seeing American TikTok users mass migrate over to Red Note, learning Chinese, and praising how beautiful Chinese culture is. Perhaps in the end, US politicians may as well be in the pockets of the CCP. Because this whole TikTok ban affair has proven to be the greatest PR move for China

And if anyone says legacy is more important than the suffering of a real person, I just have to ask. Is art really worth throwing your empathy away?

I’m tired of people who say we should forgive writers for their moral failings all in the name of art. Not only because you can be both a good artist and a good human being, But also because art is art, and the real world is the real world full of human beings who suffer real consequences.

Continuing the series on 'fallen literary idols of 2024', Alice Munro. It's all in an NYT article called 'What Alice Munro Knew.' In short, she protected her husband who sexually assaulted her daughter when she was 9, and sided with him until the end, even when her husband was convicted for it

US pre-orders are ready so here I go again Debut novel, Oxford Soju Club, September 2025 A North Korean spy, a Korean CIA Agent, and a South Korean restauranteur get entangled in a spy game. A metaphor for the lives of the diaspora Canada pre-orders: a.co/d/10a8EcM US pre-orders: amzn.to/3DlvSvr

My following feed on here makes me happy cause it’s just the BookTokers I cared about anyway (and Darien’s thoughts) 🫶🫶🫶 I feel like we may re-create what we had on here, and I feel we can have conversations. I think if we keep this up it can be nice! #booksky

Nah I'm done. The silence and basking in comfort and convenience of the people I used to think were alright... I'm actually done. Because at the end of the day, I know that y'all won't have my back... If you can't even fucking say (and internalise) "Free Palestine!"

I'm still in the process of editing my first long form booktube video. Meanwhile, I've mostly been uploading shorts. This one is about my first January read, which has DETHRONED BABEL as my favourite book! SHEEEEESH!! youtube.com/shorts/NZTXo...

Baby's first booktube! I was super excited filming this and editing it and just had so much fun! This video is dedicated to my mutuals and is just part 1 of the series 🙈 Check it out here: youtu.be/LHcnUrfPn4c?... #booksky #booktube #diversebooksky

incredible -- the NYT ran fluff "what i hope to see in 2025" blurbs from CEOs and economists, and then this guy www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/o...

Greetings from Sydney 2025 🥳🥳🥳

How many #books by #ChronicallyIll & #Disabled writers did you read this year? Not enough? Correct that by buying books from the 150 authors in the CIAD #writers starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack... (or at least some of them. If you're rich, buying a book from everyone on the list would be fab :-))

I apologise to anyone I encouraged to read this book with me. I wouldn't have finished it if I knew about the awful parental representation. I have intense personal experiences that made me struggle with the final act of this book. Would have been an amazing read nonetheless if I wasn't ab**ed.

Heads up Dredge is free on the Epic games store right now!

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, hoodies, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

Hi new follows! My name is Ian Haramaki, I'm a trans and mixed-JPN author of gay fiction. My debut novel MERCY. It's a dark but hopeful tale about a lonely priest in a small town finding love with a man whose curse he lifts. As the man's memories return, they realize he may not be entirely mortal...

Colour me intrigued 👀👀👀

I absolutely love these pics of Megan Thee Stallion dressed up as Trish Una from Golden Wind! #jjba #JoJo #jjbasky #jojosky
