🙈☺️ warm days are over, official cold. Not my favourite time of the year

A good day to start a new book. An epic fantasy

One of those days…where all I wanna do is have some fun, I’ve got a feeling I’m not the only one…

This book, if you haven’t read this, highly recommend.

One of those days where I am having trouble focusing 😵‍💫

Scrublands is a masterful entry into the "rural noir" genre, distinguished by Chris Hammer’s ability to turn the oppressive, shimmering heat of the Australian outback into a character of its own. The novel’s intricate mystery, centered on a journalist’s quest to uncover why a beloved priest #read

My take away from this is home is not merely a physical location or a fixed point in history, but a continuous process of creation and reclamation that we carry within ourselves and pass down through our stories and our children. Beautifully written memoir. #read highly recommend

The Night Is Not for You is a hauntingly beautiful and visceral masterpiece that masterfully weaves Arabic folklore into a sharp, modern feminist horror story. Eman Quotah’s writing is atmospheric and razor-sharp, transforming the legend of Umm Al-Duwais #read #horror

The big takeaway from this is that while the universe is indifferent and life has no inherent meaning, this realisation is actually the key to true freedom. Instead of being crushed by the futility of existence, Camus suggests we should live in "revolt"—embracing the struggle…. #read

Circular Motion is a high-concept nerdfest that unfortunately gets a bit too tangled in its own orbits. While Alex Foster’s premise—the Earth’s rotation accelerating due to instant travel—is objectively cool and backed by physics I couldn’t understand, This #read didn’t quite do it for me.

This intense thriller laced with horror and urban fantasy where cursed playing cards, a legendary game and centuries old mystery collide across time and continents. The action sequences are thrilling, the horror chilling and the historical intrigue impressively researched and vividly rendered. #read

A lazy afternoon, with a good book. 👌🏽

Weak in Comparison to Dreams shows a way of thinking differently about the coherence of a life. Are unremembered dreams part of our lives? What if a single life continues so long that it becomes separate lives which no longer know one another? Highly recommend this #book #read

Some really hot coffee was spilt on my crotch and thighs. It burnt and wasn’t very pleasant 😔

Volume III is about unexpected company, being with others even when you disagree with them or don’t understand them, the responsibility of living, systemic political change small pragmatic interventions…but it still carries forward the themes of the others. Tara relives November 18.

A poignant, lyrical account of Jean-Michel Basquiat's relationship with Suzanne Mallouk in 1980s New York City, exploring their passionate affair amid his rise as an avant-garde artist. as deeply sad and "harrowing" book. The story it tells is one of tragic decline and intense emotional turbulence.

How I spent my Sunday.

Vickers has a plan: throw himself into the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal and end it all for good, believing it to be the only way out for him after a lifetime of depression and pain. But, stepping off the subway, he finds himself in an endless, looping station. It’s tense, claustrophobic #read

Love the early morning sunshine. I have to admit, I do like how my ass looks in these underwear 😂

It’s a naked kind of afternoon. Best feeling after work

This is beautifully written, thought provoking. But also emotional and sensitive. His unadorned language intensifies the oppressive, uneasy dynamics and situations that he explores in this novel. Really, a bunch of grad students, assholes, who have bad sex based in Iowa. #read #books

If you haven’t done so already, do yourselves a favour and read The Road Back to Me by @youruncutpapi.bsky.social highly recommend. Part memoir part practical guide to reclaiming yourself. It’s about healing, it’s about giving yourself the permission to truly exist, authentically. #novels #books

I loved this #novel If you were to describe it in one word, I would say “intimate”. A story about a mother and son, both a little broken by the other. Beautifully written, I loved the things that weren’t said, the distance between them, a navigation between nostalgia and self care. Highly recommend.

WOW it’s hump day x 3 = Haoran 🍑

Catching some afternoon sunshine ☀️🌞

My hairy butt 😈😈😈

Hungry? 😈🙈☺️😏

Weekend vibes…need someone to join me. Help me out with a few needs 😈🙈☺️

In my twenties, I really hated my body. Dealing with body dysmorphia, I just couldn’t get my brain to change how I thought about myself. I thought I was sickly thin, I avoided the beach because I didn’t want people to see my body. I always wore jumpers, and never exposed myself in front of others.

I’ve been so dickstracted today. In need of someone with a firm hand, full weight on top of me, maybe pull my head back a little with my hair, maybe a hand around my throat…😈🙈

Just casually relaxing underwater.

The author has perfected the art of the slasher and “Killer on the Road” is a prime example of that. Killer on the Road is a High stakes game of cat and mouse with a bad ass main character in Harper. I was immediately pulled in with a shocking opening chapter #read #books

This was a fun read. Highly recommend. It was intriguing, compelling and I just couldn’t put it down. Written in an interview style way, from the perceptive of the band members and people who have worked with the band or has crossed paths with the band. #read #books

Today was a great day. Sun, my favourite nude beach, ocean felt great. More days like these please 🙏🏽

Not my house but I know my way around.

2026 will be the year I work smarter and not harder. I will continue to read more great books. Watch good movies. Be a theatre goer. More great sex. Passion. Intimacy. Connection. Exploration. Toe curling. Tactile. I will need to be ravished. Travel more. #goals

The prequel to ‘They Both Die in the End’, told through multiple perspective but mostly follows Orion and Valentino. They are real and deep and you can’t help but become invested in their story. This takes us back to when Death cast is being introduced and the first call is made. #read #books

This wasn’t bad. Mars-Jones sketches a gay Dom/sub relationship with great sensitivity, insight, and originality. The narrator’s family life is also richly described, and the time period (largely 1980s). Despite its brevity the novel covers a lot of ground. I think it was too brief. #read #books

Getting a bit distracted 😏

By one of my favourite authors. If you love a popcorn movie, that is entertaining, fun and quite the ride, this is for you. I love Sam Speedman, a detective with a brilliant mind and a different way of seeing things. He sees what others have missed. Highly recommend this. Bring on the sequel #read

Beholder by @ryanlasala.bsky.social This book takes you on a journey of family, love and discovering one's self. All the while reflecting these images back at you. What do you see in your own reflection? It is quite difficult to describe this book without spoiling it, so just go read it. #read

This was a fun read, almost like a popcorn movie. This was a smart, campy slasher thriller and half an examination of the horrors of queer loneliness. #read #books

A lesbian vampire novel that pre-dates Dracula by 25 years. It follows Laura a secluded lonely girl, who befriends a beautiful woman, who preys exclusively on other attractive young women. You can see just how much this novella inspired Dracula, and the lines that he took from this. #read #novels
