My 75 Booked Challenge doesn't start till Monday. My "Gay Books I'm Proud Of" daily posts don't start until Monday. (I already filmed 6 and I already love them.) I need Monday.

I have a theory that the obsession with "hard" games as a sign of superiority is a symptom of a capitalist system that robs the working class of the feeling of accomplishment. I have literally no data to back it up, it's just a hunch.

Yes, we technically had the last day of the school year today, but it's the weekend and not yet June. Therefore, my brain has just informed me that it will not truly be Summer Break™️ until Monday.

I take back every bad thing I've ever said about how slow publishing is. Because every time I get the inevitable "what are you doing over summer break"question I get to give the absolute BALLER answer "working on edits for my debut novel." Already got to shock people with it and it was GLORIOUS.

The new video is here! My super serious, totally legit apology to the indie authors I've neglected to review. (aka, the review books I intend to get to in the next couple months) #booksky #indiebooks #booktube

The last hour of the last day of the school year is the longest hour ever. That's just science.

Decided to post about a different queer book for every day of Pride. Be prepared to be sick of me by July. (Also to see the same outfits over and over, cuz no way am I not batch filming these.)

Seductive? I adore the ENTIRE writing process. Brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing. There is not a single part of it that would be "seductive" to outsource. #amwriting

Oddly enough the Lennoxes didn't really bother me. But Beth March STILL gets me. 😭

When I say I'm a long skirt girly, I mean I'm wearing a skirt or dress literally every day. Not in a "return to tradition" way. More of a "feminist who likes to frolic" way.

insane to me that @patagonia.com is suing incredibly impactful drag queen and climate activist Pattie Gonia for “harming their brand” is Patagonia not a brand for the LGBTQ+ community or for climate activists? because you’ve spent a lot of time pretending to be both.

Turns out @patagonia.com is suing a drag queen (and climate activist) for parodying their name. You know, the company that TOOK AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED NAME FROM SOUTH AMERICA. But noooo, the queer person fighting to save the planet is the issue.

Any pasta with Italian dressing.

Signed up for a DnD playtest of home brewed subclasses based on Pokemon Imma be playing a Cleric, Friendship Domain. ☺️

My favorite character from Slay the Spire 2 is the flaming bisexual skeleton. Although the shiv lesbian is a close second.

"Nah," I thought to myself. "It's just some quick yardwork stuff, I don't need to pull out the gloves." Anyway, the palms of my hands ache now.

Oh, a whale is swimming through your crustacean friend group just to eat you? krill issue

Remember when right-wing trolls tried to "invade" Bluesky, but the blocklists were so effective that it nuked the entire thing from the offset? We must return to our old ways.

I know everyone will be making OceanGate memes when this ends terribly, but may I humbly request we include Space Orca fanart as well?

The new video is here! Let's talk about 75 Booked: Summer Edition. #booksky #booktube

My husband and I design our weekly meal plan to give us leftovers so we don't have to think about what to pack in our lunches. Also we're cooking like the same dozen meals on rotation. 😂

Important to remember that the average reader will forget the majority of the worldbuilding they're presented with. Those little details and factoids that don't materially affect the plot or characters will be out of their head shortly after finishing the book, if not sooner.

Today I discovered my local librarians can recognize me by sight. THIS IS THE LIFE OF MY DREAMS. #booksky #library

INDIE AUTHORS What advice would you give to someone just starting out? I've already learned a lot from reviewing indie for years, but I'd love to uncover more secrets before my debut comes out next year. #booksky #amwriting #indiebooks

If you saw how many books are on my Currently Reading shelf, no you didn't.

Started playing Slay the Spire 2 and naturally my favorite character is the on-fire skeleton wearing all pink.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet

The new video is here! How I got the contract for my debut novel. ☺️ #amwriting

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

They were planning on making an immersive world for it at the parks. 😭😭😭

Over the years: Margo, Megara, both pronunciations of Margie, Margaritaville, Marge And that one exchange student who called me Maggie. Oddly enough, no Meg.

Just heard the lyric "You can't keep a good hoe down at a good hoedown." ✨Poetry✨

If I wrote the book, it's indelleibly gay.

Told my husband that I technically don't have PCOS anymore cuz they renamed it and he was like "Does this mean you beat PCOS?" 😂

Talked with an Australian today about how accurate American perceptions of Aussie slang is. Apparently "Sheila" is outdated and "crikey" is specific to the Irwins.

The hardest Dark Souls challenge is easier than the Sims 100 Babies challenge.

The delete comment feature is the best thing any social media platform ever came up with. Removing a quote post is a close second.

I tried Slay the Spire 2 and I... like it??? I like a deck builder. I don't know who I am anymore

Another video! Let's talk about the popular books I've read recently and if they're worth the hype. #booksky #booktube

Got super excited thinking I was almost done with this gift blanket. Then remembered when one of the couple I'm giving it too is way taller than me. Damnit. #crochetsky

Fun fact, this is part of the email you get from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social when you buy directly from their shop. Can't tell if they're threatening me or flirting with me tbh. #booksky

Most indie awards like SPFBO, SPSFC, and Indie Ink Awards also have no-AI policies that you can use to find new reads. #booksky

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

SURPRISE VIDEO. I predicted the future of booktube! Y'know, if you squint at it. Also, please appreciate my Zoolander realness in the thumbnail. #booktube #booksky

Little bit of good news for y'all.

I'm in the car and I write about the same thing as a little bit of the time. Weird way to say gay sci-fi, but okay.

I don't want to be on Threads, I just want to know all the bookish drama going down on Threads.

The haul for March and April are here! #booktube #booksky
