i say we all turn around and resurrect our tumblrs, dreamwidth accounts, and neopets pet pages. we go old school. we ball.

i'm always reading a physical book, an ebook, and an audiobook at the same time. my brain needs all the options.

i get to see superman tonight and i've heard it's very punk rock hopecore and i can't wait!

self care is replaying the same ten songs on repeat for a quick serotonin boost.

how do people do things all the time without needing 8 naps.

there's a heat wave running through the east coast and of course this is when our AC breaks. it's fixed now and we do have a pool, but the timing was impeccable.

i am very tired of having things to do, i suggest banning things to do.

it's been A Day and the only things keeping me upright are my emotional support water bottle and my cats.

i'm very tired of hot takes, please give me all your tepid takes instead.

i wish there was a role between beta reader and critique partner of just person who i work out kinks with when i'm writing/wordbuilding because that's what i need.

the japanese 80s pop music channels on youtube are legit fire.

casual reminder that i will never use AI to create things and i will never knowingly post something AI made. if i do post something made by AI, please let me know immediately so i can TAKE IT DOWN AND BURN IT.

This is a great post from @kateelliottsff.bsky.social about re-discovering the joy of writing, decades into her (phenomenal!) career: www.fantasybookcafe.com/2025/04/wome...

i love the mornings i wake up and check my feed and it's just cute bunnies. i don't know why you have gifted me with this cuteness, but thank you, algo.

i have so many library books checked out now and i simply can't keep up.

hi, if anyone is playing @playpalia.com, please be my friend? #palia

Always singing the praises of June's work. 🩷💙💜

I have to imagine that many trad published authors have that draft or idea that is not written to market, or too weird for trad pub, or too far from their established genre. SEND IT TO ME. I WANT TO PUBLISH WEIRD THINGS AT MAREAS. (no, really, lemme read it, I beg.)

i don't need UK copies of books i already own the US versions of just because the covers are pretty. i don't need UK copies of books i already own the US versions of just because the covers are pretty. i don't need-

if the inscription to your book says "this one is for the c-drama girlies" i'm already madly in love with it. looking at you @ameliewenzhao.bsky.social. <3

Have you seen his cat?

i keep singing that tiktok sound "bridge over water i am jumping off" at work and people are sending me some very concerned looks.

today i got bubble tea and bought books and life was pretty alright.

i solved my insomnia as an introvert. i just have to hang out in an apartment with 8 other people (and 2 cats). i came home and within half an hour, i was passed out still in my makeup with socks on.

ever since my favorite breakfast spot closed, on payday fridays, i explore local bagel shops/cafes in search of my new go to breakfast sandwich and it's one of the things i look forward to most these days.

one of my favorite things is that sometimes my boyfriend picks up my book order from barnes and noble and when he hands it to me, he says, "i wanna read those when you're done." 🤩🥹 😍

i would like to not spend half my day thinking about how AI is ruining all my favorite stuff, but the tech bros and oligarchs just won't freaking let me so instead i'm just angry all the damn time now.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

love m.k. england and i'm super jazzed to add this to my collection of their work.

canada took a look at the US and was like nope, not today satan. good for them.

listen, it's cool to try for things. don't let anyone tell you differently. trying, and even failing, makes you better.

we're fostering another bottle baby kitten and though he's very adorable, waking up every four hours to feed him is not very adorable.

god i love space books.

Today is the day!!! Happy birthday HOLLIS BROWN! Thank you so much everyone, I’m so excited to finally share this absolutely wild book with you all! 👻🔥

Since I'm planning for paternity leave at the end of the summer, and not doing any events for a long time after, I put a virtual workshop together. So! If you or someone you know needs a hand polishing up their query + opening pages, this might be for you. www.ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2025/4/...

i'm eternally sleep deprived and yet never choose to go to bed at a reasonable hour which would remedy the issue.

my birthday is just a month away now and i'm like, oh is getting older still a thing we do? i feel like time has stopped meaning anything lately.

It's National Library Week. Now more than ever, libraries are important.

this is my daughter, fable and i love her.

‪every time you support your local library you gain +2 charisma, +2 intelligence, and +2 wisdom. those are the rules.

gonna get bangs tonight and regret it tomorrow morning.

casual reminder that slow progress is still progress. a win is a win, no matter how small.

guys, my library holds are in. today is a good day.

I‘m sending @booker.senate.gov a contribution of $25.05. Thank you for inspiring people.

i am so disappointed in the book i just read which set up a fantastic poly ship for like 70% of the book and then continued to absolutely destroy it in the last 30%. WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL.

Is anyone else using Pagebound to track their reading as a Goodreads alternative? I am loving it, honestly. pagebound.co

all she does is win. ❤️ every k. ancrum book is my favorite k. ancrum book.

the only time i ever know what i want to eat is when i'm super sick and that's because i have zero appetite so it has to be exactly what i want or i'll just wither away and perish.
