My 6 year old niece just referred to a CD as a "playlist." At least she's in the right ballpark. 😂

Reading Jurassic Park for the first time and I can't get over the "small dinosaurs are eating babies in such large amounts that it's spiking statistics, but the locals are completely clueless" subplot. You gotta have very specific beliefs about developing countries for that to track. #booksky

Woke up this morning and forgot it was my birthday till my husband said "Happy Birthday." In case you're wondering where my stress levels have been at. 😅

Link previews work again, so I'm resharing my video. I love the thumbnail too much not to show it. 😂 Reminder: all abandoned story ideas are free for the taking! #booksky #booktube #amwriting

Every time I get annoyed that my paid-off car has only an aux cord to use my phone and manual roll down windows, I see stats like this and suddenly I am content.

New video! In honor of signing the contract for my debut novel, let's talk about all the story ideas that will never get there. All abandoned story ideas free to a good home. 😂 #booksky #booktube #amwriting

Sadist should actually be pronounced with the short a sound. Sah-dist

Soon. #booksky #booktube

Oooh, another discussion on genres. It reminds me I still need to make that "The Myth About Genres" video. Namely that genres have never been a Darwinian-style classification system and are, in fact, short form communication. #booksky

Forever the Healthiest Kids

The kids have started reminding ME about calm down options. So that's how prep for the standardized tests have been going.

Happy Asexual Visibility Day! You may perceive me! Though I will be blurry around the edges. I'm pretty sure that's how gray-ace works. #AsexualVisibilityDay

I only took the quiz to find your house so I could better fake being an HP fan. Because the harassment from Potterheads in nerd spaces was so severe that it was easier to lie than try to explain why HP wasn't the be-all end-all of nerd franchises. So I'm not surprised they're still at it. #booksky

You know what else was way less toxic? "I can haz cheeseburger." Thus begins my TED Talk on how Cringe Culture directly led to the toxic, discourse-centric social media we have today.

I continue to be amused at how social media algorithms can't figure out what to advertise to me. "YOU WANT THIS DESIGNER BAG, DON'T YOU?" No YouTube, I do not.

Just realized I don't really want to call myself a "nerd" anymore. Feels like the word has become synonymous with endless consumption of merch and showing more compassion towards fictional representations of people than actual people.

First heard Owl City's "Fireflies" on the radio at 2 am while driving with my sister to get ice cream.

The Trans Rights Readathon Debrief is here! Let's talk about my thoughts on the books and how much money I donated! #booksky #booktube #TransRightsReadathon @trreadathon.bsky.social

I love having a reading log because it gives me the data to prove I am, in fact, a frugal library nerd. #booksky

good post

I'm not saying reincarnation is impossible, I'm just saying the statistics don't match up. There should be way fewer reincarnations of famous people and way more random poor people who died before the age of 10.

Just remembered how I loved listening to Emily Osment. "I Hate the Homecoming Queen" was *the* soundtrack of my Not Like Other Girls phase.

My brother-in-law just used the phrase "that German fuck, Gutenberg" in the family group chat. And I already know it will be bouncing around my head the rest of the day. #booksky

FINAL TALLY FOR THE TRANS RIGHTS READATHON. Pages: 1,594 Money Raised: $79.70 (Let's be real, I'm rounding it to 80. Less annoying in the budget) Now to finally decide which org I'm donating to. 😅 @trreadathon.bsky.social #booksky

It's finally happened. I have hard opinions on pens now.

Seeing repeat comments from the same person on various videos and realizing I got a new regular subscriber.

Someone let me know when the BlueSky AI becomes the most blocked account on the site. I could use the good news.

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

Social media and internet content from a young age is, in fact, making children worse. 5th graders making rape jokes, kids of all ages using kink terms, and such gigantic amounts of learned helplessness that it's a battle just to convince them to use their own brains without spoon feeding info.

Nothing will make me unsubscribe from a booktuber faster than seeing "book overconsumption isn't real" in a video title.

This is how you know I'm pagan, because my boobs are decidedly middling in size.

I promise you there are no politics in my debut novel. It's just about an ancient leader that destroyed the environment in far reaching ways and the modern leaders who are so sure they're the heroes that they turn a blind eye to the ways they're failing the populace. #amwriting

I need to read less. Let's talk about it. #booksky

Julia Quinn was pressured into adding a baby into Francesca's book in the Bridgerton series due to reader pressure. Because heaven fucking forbid an infertility story not end with a miracle pregnancy. #booksky

SPROUT ALERT. WE HAVE SPROUTS. 🌱🌱

My supremely whacked out ear canals tell me this coming storm is gonna be a big one.

Update 3: Four books read 980 pages read for 49 dollars raised Nearly at the goal and I got another 6 days let's goooooo. 🎉🎉🎉 #booksky #TransRightsReadathon @trreadathon.bsky.social

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

"Why can't MY parents be deaf??? 😠" - a 2nd grader who just found out an older student is a KODA fluent in sign language

HEY WANT SOME GOOD NEWS?

Ah yes, the three lenses of the historian: social, political, and dumbass.

I fear I am firmly out of my romance book era. Nonfiction, gay sci-fi, and generally weird as fuck books are all still in play though. So I got that going for me. #booksky

Update 2: Three books read, fourth book started. 735 pages read for $36.75 raised. Might actually get through my entire TRR TBR. 😂 #booksky #TransRightsReadathon @trreadathon.bsky.social

I've never had 2 one-star reads this early in the year before. I am concern. #booksky

New video! Let's go over my time with 75 Booked and why I think it could be the future of booktube! #booksky #booktube

My favorite part of Watership Down so far is the author foreword where he swears the story isn't an analogy, then a subplot involving what I can only describe as Escaping the Bunny Soviet Union. #booksky

Trans Rights Readathon Update: Two books read, third book started. 439 pages read for $21.95 raised. Well ahead of schedule for the goal! #booksky #TransRightsReadathon @trreadathon.bsky.social

Every single person that uses AI of their own volition is a fan of it. They could be a fan of the outcome, the complete lack of effort, skipping a part of the creative process they don't want to do, etc. Whatever the reason they chose it for, they like it.

I have to apologize to my father. Iced tea and nonfiction books kick ass, actually. How could I have doubted him. 😔

Finally got back to the regular exercises and suddenly feeling so much better over all. Because if there's one thing my dumbass is gonna do, it's forget how important exercise is to managing my chronic condition.
