I never try too much with my dreamsnaps, and they always end up looking a bit messy, but the shop items this week and the older starpath items I had really made me want to give it a go. I just wish companions wouldn't bug as much! #ddlv #dreamsnaps

I've been back into posting on my blog more often, and today I'm sharing my thoughts on Hekate by Nikita Gill, a gorgeous Greek Myth retold through poetry coffeestarsbooks.com/hekate-book-... #bookreview #bookblog

I've been working on some posts for my book blog, including catching up on a bunch of reviews, an exciting new reading prompt project I'm trying to start up, and an academic-lite essay series where I talk about books. I'm hoping to post the first of these, Gothic Heroines: Then and Now next Friday

Finally got around to posting my thoughts on Travis Baldree's Brigands and Breadknives, a lovely warm hug of a book! coffeestarsbooks.com/brigands-and...

His little tongue poking out is sending me lol

So so tempted to start streaming again after seeing the new DDLV dlc...

Sort of tempted to start streaming again. There's so many cute games coming out and I feel like I want to try again, maybe with a PNG, and maybe with some book-related content too...

The new Pokopia trailer makes me so hyped. The game looks so similar to my favourite ever game, Dragon Quest Builders 2 and I am fully anticipating that I'll end up sinking far too much time into it

My old University is looking at cutting my department, American Studies, from its list of offered courses, leading to possible redundancies for academics and admin staff in the department. It would be super helpful if anyone shares this petition to reconsider this change or signs c.org/GBm8yZ6yDC

15 seconds of a very peaceful Hornsby 🍂

Okay, but new Florence album is a masterpiece

Think one of my goals for the end of the year/start of next year is to find an online or local book club that mostly reads fantasy. I used to love talking about books with my subscription box club, and recently I've been missing it a lot!

I've really been enjoying using Storygraph to track my reading this year, rather than Goodreads. But it's a shame that it's so hard to find friends on there. I knew so many people from streaming/uni/blogging on GR and while I know not everyone will have a SG account, finding those that do is so hard

coffeestarsbooks.com/we-love-you-... Bit of a longer book review than I'm used to writing, but I think I want to start writing more in-depth content moving forwards :) going to be scheduling some more over the weekend since I have a backlog of books to review!

Sorry x

Not sure I agree with the Patreon bit (it's totally valid for creators to receive payment for their hard work) but the rest...

Amazon is so full of scam products these days that don't turn up. Love how they've ruined so many shops, and they're just so crap

Ahri has started watching the garden from this spot because she likes to see the squirrels and pigeons. Galio thought he'd try and cuddle up to her today

Been enjoying my birthday weekend and some slow, autumn days ❤

It's painfully ironic that the amount of clerical bullshit you have to go through to get ADHD meds is the exact kind of clerical bullshit that most ADHD folk struggle with. It's equivalent to, 'Ouch, broken leg? Don't worry! We've got some crutches for you at the end of this marathon.'

Every time I have a bath or shower, Galio likes to sit nearby and protect me from the evil water

This is just fucked up. That poor boy's family deserves answers and justice. The violence against Black people in America has never gone away, but hearing about something like this happening in modern-day America is terrifying.

I demand outrage over the lynching and murder of Trey Reed. "No foul play involved" my ass. His loved ones deserve answers.

Me casually refreshing the Steam page for the new Planet Coaster 2 dlc

Nothing like having to ask a neighbour to pop over to help with an electrical emergency to make my silly adhd brain panic-clean. (Turns out the toaster had broken and tripped the fuse box but I hadn't reset one switch because it was resisting).

Got a slight pay rise at work for being there another year, so I guess I'm going to treat myself to some special edition books <3

Been a bit AWOL recently, since I've been off work and just trying to recover from the last few months of stress. Mostly just been reading and playing video games without forcing myself to be productive with my hobbies. It's been very relaxing and much needed!

Another shelf down. I know this isn't the most convenient for finding books but hoding all the gorgeous sprayed edges seems like a shame

Only done one bookcase today (got another 4 to go) but pretty pleased with it! #booksky

I've made the mistake of reorganising my bookshelves today, and now I'm window-shopping dream bookshelves that I definitely can't afford

Had a chill morning doing some ddlv quests and now I've got coffee and cake and a first chapter to finish drafting

Ended up preordering some Lorcana. Apparently the upcoming set is going to have some reprints and things, so I'm excited to maybe pull some expensive deck staples from previous sets. Last time I opened a cheeky booster I got a Diablo legendary, so maybe more good luck incoming?

Last week, I was finally told that my job was safe for at least a few months. I'm really fighting the impulse to enjoy my few weeks off and not worry about spending a little on myself, rather than saving this month. This uncertainty has been hanging over me since April and it's just so freeing to...

My 3 weeks off work starts today, and I could not be happier :D

Considering treating myself to the latest sims expansion as a reward for making it through the whole stressful mass redundancy phase and other stuff at my work.

We got Ahri and Galio a ball pit today. Galio has decided it's fun to roll around in. Ahri just wants to chase balls and try and climb under the ball pit

August hopefuls. I'm most excited about the books I picked up last month so going to start with those and then see what else I can get up to. Definitely need to read more if I want to meet my reading challenge this year. What is everyone hoping to read this month? #booksky

Really enjoyed this one!

Sad to hear how the company that made Tales of the Shire crunched employees and laid them off. Not going to give money to that

So nice how a day or two off work can completely refresh you

it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught

Having one of those days where my brain is going too fast and I can't pin down a single thought :P

Me when I run out of coffee

Ahri would like you to know that it is #caturday and also that she really wants to run around and play, even if it is too hot to move today in the UK

You. ARG You cannot use AI to translate fiction, for about the same reasons using AI to write fiction doesn't work (with bonus "text has to be faithful to original" which you have no way of enforcing on AI).

Today marks one year since we brought home three gorgeous and curious kittens. Even though we had the heartbreak of losing one much too early, I'm so happy they're part of our family

inside you theres just one wolf in two very different sized hats
