You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

The Paris Review is in the Epstein Files! It was first started by the CIA as a propaganda tool! They cannot acknowledge the Taco Bell Quarterly because they would have to acknowledge they're built on an inherently evil and rotten foundation.

Happy National Black Cat Day! From Felix!

For Vampire the Masquerade Friday, I made The Poor Unfortunate Coterie some Pizza Focaccia and nalysnyky with traditional cheese filling, lemon curd, and strawberry sauce! #vtm #cooksky

Are you an MM romance author and have a book coming out next year that you’d be willing to share with an MM romance community to read as an ARC (and get paid for it) sometime between Jan-Mar next year? Let me know!

I hate writing and myself. It's great, really.

I got approved for 2 ARCs back to back and now I’m STRESSING (neither book needs a review until closer to the end of the year) WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF (I literally have so much time and I’m so excited to read these) #arcreader #booksky

It had me giggling and kicking my heels, therefore I must rate it 5 stars. Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil was a fun, quippy fast ride, would 100% recommend. #booksky #cosyfantasy

Happy Release Day School of Shards 💙✨ I love your weird little story with all my Slavic heart. #booksky #vitanostra #pubday

My (very conservative and Christian) dad introduced me to Dune at 8 or nine years old. I read (and reread) the entire series twice by the time I was 13. He told me later he didn’t remember how much sex and violence was in the later books. #booksky #dune

Foundation on Apple TV isn’t a good adaption of Foundation Saga by Asimov (and I love that for them, I don’t like those books and I love this show). Honestly, it feels like an adaptation in spirit of A Memory Called Empire by Arkady. In this essay I will— #booksky #foundation

“To love me is to suffer me.” This new Ethel Cain song, Nettles, is about to go platinum in my phone. #Pride #EthelCain #MusicSky open.spotify.com/track/3xoM5g...

Beyond being told this was like a sapphic “A Deadly Education,” I know nothing about this book! I’m excited that The Incandescent by Emily Tesh it is my next #Pride read. I fucking love The Scholomance, so I hope this book gives me the dark magical school rush I live for! #booksky

Yall, it’s the first week of pride and my straight best friend SHAMED MY KINDLE TEXT SIZE. Size 2 is perfect! Let pour over my small text in peace!!! #booksky

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

As pride is coming up: Remove the Harry Potter stuff from wherever you got it. Don’t support JKR. If the witches can help put a curse on that gremlin of a human, please do so.

Ok NYC Midnight, let’s get this flash fiction written… Working with Suspense in a Pawn Shop, with a Stress Ball. I got this. #WriterSky #NYCMidnight #FlashFiction

Murderbot on AppleTV is genuinely killing it so far; the cast, the costuming, the tone, the vibe, and especially how the show runners are adapting Martha Wells’ work? All incredible. The 30 minute episodes work so well. I love this. Give me 15 seasons. #Murderbot #FilmSky #BookSky

Halfway through School of Shards (Vita Nostra Book 3), and I’m loving this. This book feels like your classic “magical academia” book, this time from the prospective from the teachers. Everything has led to this, we know what the Institute does, we know who Sasha is… it’s amazing! #booksky

Happy Vyshyvanka Day! The cultural practice of vyshyvanka embroidery is a profoundly deep and gorgeous tradition. Each color and design holds significant importance in the message of each shirt. I was born in Odesa, you can catch an example of my home oblast’s design! #ukraine

Obviously, my first tattoo was going to be something “bookish”/nerdy #tattoo #booksky #themagicians

ITS AN EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!! #booksky

the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope

Dear @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social, What tasks must I do, how many coins must I collect, into what must I transform myself to get myself approved for School of Shards? Yours respectfully, Stephen (Vita Nostra SuperFan) #booksky

Eveyone & their brother is using ChatGPT to avoid doing the reading/homework & we’re all going to suffer bc of it.

HOLY SHIT. #THUNDERBOLTS HOW DARE YOU BE THAT GOOD. WTF #filmsky

[3 hours away from home, on the motorway] omg did someone remember to let jesus out of the tomb

Book boy in the kitchen today, making a little sweet treat! Tried my hand at the very simple lemon posset and, if I do say so myself… it turned out pretty good #lemon #cooking

Go get rejected! The momentary violent compression of hope into more flattening numbness when you could have had the one thing you truly fucking want in life. Nope! Not today! Maybe not ever! Become a writer! It's so life affirming

If you want to be a better writer you invariably need to: - write more - read more And there’s like a 50% that you need more and/or better feedback.

If I had a nickel for every time THIS YEAR I’ve had my engine die in front of a auto parts shop, giving me just enough momentum to swing into the parking lot so I could call a tow service, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot ESPECIALLY SINCE CARS COST A GOOD AMOUNT TO FIX

I’m getting an influx of videos on my FYP of mutuals and booktok peeps raving about this book and I wish I shared their love of the book, I like when I’m on the same page as everyone else when it comes to queer media 😅 But I’m holding fast! This book was a 2 star read! #booksky #prideandprejudice

HANDS OFF from Lincoln, Nebraska! Amazing turn out and march, the energy was electric ✨💙

Memory poppers. Need I say more. GAYS HOW DO I GET YOU TO READ THIS SERIES #gay #booksky

It’s important that you all know I have to smack my cat to keep him happy. I just whale on him. #cat #catsky #blackcat

An older lesbian blessed my morning by telling me I’m cute, so I’ll just be coasting on queer positivity during this rough day at work. I love gay people. Love us. #queersky #gay

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Cr - A Drop of Corruption - Robert Jackson Bennett I adored A Tainted Cup AND I CAN’T BELIEVE I FORGOT THE RELEASE DAY FOR ADoC was yesterday!! We have remedied the situation, fear not. #booksky

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

On to the next book for #trr2025, Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase. 5% in, and boy… this is going to be a book that wrecks me, I know it. #booksky

On Day 3 of #trr2025, I finished Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa. I rated it 3 out of 5 stars! This was both a cute Victorian romance and a terrible retelling of Pride and Prejudice 😅 At least it’s made me interested in Novoa’s other works! #booksky #prideandprejudice

I totally forgot to announce my #TransRightsReadathon pick!! I’ll be reading “Most Ardently” by Gabe Cole Novoa. I’m a huge P&P fan, I love a remix, I’m excited to be reading this!!

Half way through the book and it’s a solid read you guys. It’s good. Yes, Collins may be eschewing subtlety when discussing some thematic elements? But in this day and age? With poor media literacy running rampant? Bluntness might be unfortunately necessary.

I’m just a few pages into #SunriseontheReaping and I’m already sucked back into the world of Panem. I can’t wait to see how Collins weaves this story 💙 #booksky

“My writing gets flagged as AI even though it’s all my own work, I’m afraid I’ll be rejected unfairly!” Sorry to say this, but if your writing sounds like AI, you’re gonna get rejected because it’s bad. Not because of the AI flag. AI writing sounds bad. You do not want to sound like AI.

I hired these rats to stare at you

Hey god, it’s me, Stephen. Like the biblical martyr, but gay and very not dead. Anywho, sending a prayer, a hope, a wish your way that I finally fucking win a Goodreads giveaway for this gay book I am very much looking toward to please and thank yewwww Amen (Will be ordering and reading regardless)
