I have been reading The Incandescent by Emily Tesh today and have been absolutely, totally engrossed, and then got to *this* 💙📚

12 months later and I am still (and will continue to be) ride or die for Asunder by @kerstinhall.bsky.social ✨ #BookSky 📚💙

I've reached a new level of cheerful troll. I tucked an envelope with cash into a book I'm giving my sister, but then I tucked more cash between the pages for her to find as she reads it. All because she won't use digital money transfer apps and I hate writing checks.

I present shitty meme

my friends are so beautiful and talented and make really nice things for me, and my goal now is to learn a new art and be messy and silly at it so I can share it with them

PLEASE donate to our Venmo! We have trusted friends and collaborators bringing heat sources to as many people as we can find but we are running out of money and it is unbearably cold. Your neighbors need your help. @supplydepotmpls 💕💸

I am vibrating after the Control Resonant announcement

I think they should've left one sneaky little Jonathan in the Buffy season 4 opening credits, as a little treat.

Sir Una Everlasting, is it you?

Buffy season 4 posting: I'm very annoyed for Buffy that none of those closest to her could tell she was not acting like herself after spending time in previous episodes proclaiming their important closeness. *No one* could tell? Just Tara, the newest of new girl? *Really?*

me and my FitBit are still getting to know each other, but I am bewildered it thinks that folding laundry while wearing new boots is swimming in my activity log.

my November reading was a bit all over the place. Spread Me was such a wild ride, then I went too hard into The Normal with Before the Coffee Gets Cold before returning to my favorite genre, weird fantasy fiction with big feelings in the Mkalis Cycle and Psychopomp & Circumstance. #StoryGraph 💙📚

Reframing "I should" into "I want" is tough when you have chronic sarcastic bitch disease. Oh, do I? Do I *want* to shovel?

All three of the Warden books are great fun. I definitely recommend!

'tis the season to break in new Doc Martens 🥲

I finished The Border Keeper and Second Spear by @kerstinhall.bsky.social this month and a) it seems criminal to me that the latter was marketed as a standalone and b) I loved these books and the strange, lush, creepy worlds they contain. #BookSky 💙📚

always look forward to the holiday Cheeseman package from my grandparents in Wisconsin. 🧀✨

I finally added some prints to my shop that I forgot to earlier as well as Mystery Parcels for the holiday season. ✨🖤 Today is my birthday! Please enjoy the start of my holiday sale which is now live in my shop to celebrate.

[Buffy recap once again about dumb idiot Parker] @cadavra.bsky.social : could we please go back to Giles being fired?

still impressed with how fast Cordelia and Wesley pack up the library, that's superhuman.

Season 3 of Buffy has been officially completed. Now it's on to the cringe circus that is season 4.

I know it can be hard to say no to family or break traditions, but it's absolutely acceptable to take a break or step away for a breather. holidays can be difficult and stressful for a lot of reasons. take care of yourself. you can't be present for others if you're not present for yourself.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? It's truly 50/50 on whether I survive.

spending time with a 5-year-old is a humbling experience. she squished her face up and said, "my eyes are weird. you have tiny heads."

seeing a youtuber's geoguesser game start a mile from your house is so weird.

do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

I found cool S earrings at Bench Pressed yesterday

I've hit the point where I don't even care that I'm being an annoying bitch about gen ai use in videogames. Get that shit out of here. It's creatively bankrupt and reeks of greed.

In the Name of Venus

setting up my reading journal for next year has been such a fun creative exercise ✨ I didn't intend to go for an Alice in Wonderland theme but it came together organically as I've worked on it the past two weeks.

I have been dealing with withdrawal/breakthrough bleeding for so long, I feel like a leaky tap at a vampire bar. please, vampires, let me expire!

It was faint in person but it's cool to actually see the northern lights.

Asunder by Kerstin Hall is a dark fantasy novel set in a wholly unique world, with two characters literally stuck together. I read it at the start of the year and I think about it constantly. 💙📚

It‘s been out in North America for a while, and is shortly coming to the UK/Commonwealth market. US: us.macmillan.com/books/978125... UK: geni.us/asunder

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!

things I learned today: - vampire bats can run - Mott's assorted fruit gummies have carrots

I need $1600 to get my mom's dog out of the animal welfare that she got taken to after the crash. if you can help, i just got laid off and my life is in shambles rn. i just lost my mom and my grandma just a month ago. i also have general funeral expenses and shit. thanks venmo.com/code?user_id...
