Yellowjackets is so so good. I had no idea it was Lord Of The Flies with (mostly) teenage girls

Watching Yellowjackets for the first time 🐝

Wow there are people out protesting in my town today and that's awesome but it is SO COLD TODAY They are all much stronger than me

It's snowing and it's very pretty but I also have to drive and walk in it later so eeeeeeeegh

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

I hope this brings a little light, a little levity to your day… Thanks to all the bookstores and libraries, booksellers and librarians and fellow authors who humored me on this. When I die, remember me for the fool I was: bit.ly/3NIoNtR

We made cornbread today. And by that, I mean my brother made cornbread while I sat around with an ice pack on my neck. Cornbread! Ain't nothing wrong with that!

I'm playing Secret Of Mana at the arcade, which now has me dying to play Legend Of Mana again

The nerves have been burnt Owwie

Time to get my nerves burned again, weeeeee

Whenever I have to stock magazines, I get so bummed out by the hunting ones. They'll have these pictures of beautiful deer or bobcats or coyotes or w/e animal on the front and I'll be like ☺️ And then the magazine is like 'HOW TO MURDER THE SHIT OUT OF THESE VERMIN' and I'm like oh 😔

Man all my cool friends are heading to Magfest tomorrow while I'll just be getting really hot needles in my back

Oh boy, I get my own shelf on the Staff Picks wall so I get to pick 7-8 books again!! Oh crap, I have to pick 7-8 books!!

I'm watching Umamusume: Cinderella Grey and I definitely find it more engaging than the first anime. And I liked the first Umamusume! But Oguri Cap is definitely a more interesting protagonist than Special Week

I see we're already off to an insane start for 2026. Jfc.

It's kinda unfortunate that I want to support as much queer media as I can, but I also have a low tolerance for sports stories and queer sports stories are very In at the moment lol 🫠

I am going to assume this means I'm going to become a werewolf Yes!!...YES!!

My reading thread for 2026! Currently reading: This House Will Feed by Maria Tureaud and Tom's Crossing by Mark Z Danielewski

Happy new queer!

I'm watching the Rose Of Versailles remake today. Feels appropriate on Oscar's birthday! I've heard mixed reactions to it, but I'm just delighted to see more Oscar <3

PRESENT DAY PRESENT...TIME!

happy christmas merry crisis merry crysler

The bookshop is insane today On the one hand, it is lovely to see so many people shopping a small business for their holiday gifts On the other hand...aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gamers. It’s time

Not to stereotype but why do so many men wear shorts when it is freezing out or even actively snowing

I figured out how to change the controls for Illusion of Gaia at the arcade so I can play it now And frankly I put an embarrassing amount of effort into figuring out how to play this incredibly mediocre game It's like a 3/10 but the nostalgia factor is 10/10

I know I'm very late to this, but I am enjoying the Ranma 1/2 remake I have such a nostalgic fondness for Ryoga in particular. Not a single thought in that head of his.

Note to self: I should read these two back-to-back once Devil Inside comes out Demon ladies demon ladies demon ladies!!

My list of books I have ordered/preordered is so chaotic rn -horror novella -horror anthology -Legend Of Mana artbook -Mary Shelley book that ISN'T Frankenstein -A hetero romance book (?!?!?!) (But it's by Clay Mcleod Chapman so I'm making a very special exception here)

Cw for animal death Today was pretty eventful--this morning we found an injured dove bleeding outside the bookshop. It had a big wound on its chest and couldn't fly. Initially my manager moved it to a safer spot and it was gone for a while, but it came back.

I wish I could smooch their cute little faces 😚 But I would rather not get salmonella

Today was stressful but at least I got a gay lil haircut

Rip to my little blue car. It's gotten to the point where maintaining it costs just about as much as a down payment on a new car.

Really happy to hear KILL YOUR DARLING won Novella of the Year over at the This Is Horror Awards. Any time this particular story finds its readers, small as it is, quiet as it is, it just… I don’t know. It means a lot. Truly an honor. Thank you. Check out the other recipients here: bit.ly/4ai89e1

I met a guy who worked at our local medieval shop (that's just a thing we had in New Hope) who was a cosplayer And then I learned about AnimeNext 2003 and I was hooked. I can't think of a particular time when I got into writing--I was just always attracted to telling stories. I would say I got--

I know I'm supposed to save my carats for the Kitasan rerun but...I couldn't say no to a new Symboli Rudolph I got *very* lucky and got her in two pulls!

My insides hurty

So proud of my signed MZD collection huehuehue

writers, destroy chatgpt by embracing your inner weirdo pervert. it will never be able to replicate true freak shit.

I can't believe I'm still finding new things I've never seen before in Disco Elysium The *payphone*! How did I not know about *the payphone*?!

I'm currently reading Clay Mcleod Chapman's Aquired Taste and omg I did not expect another story featuring FAX NEWS! The fax are bax, baybeeeee

Sorry Symboli Rudolph but I think I have a new favorite Uma I love this gay horse and her stupid open shirt so much

Sometimes I fear I am like Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman except I'm the bookseller version instead

Me when it's not a man

Baked cookies with my brother today :)

MY SWEET SMALL CHILD: dad would you could you please stop posting so emphatically ME:
