And now to see if I can find anything new to read!

Deeply out of practice at blogging!

Like I am sure so many others I'm deeply grateful for the fantastic distraction and sanctuary of queer joy the books and series have been at this moment.

In the name of feral joy, one like will get you something that brings me joy. Could be a favorite song, one fave tv show or movie, a fave book, yarn that makes me happy, pictures of nature, food that makes me happy, places that light my joy. Let's be feral with joy today.

Thinking of starting up my blog again. I've got a few books I'm planning on writing about, but throwing it out to #romancelandia for suggestions -- any romances you've read with disabled main characters that you'd recommend?

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Just a general reminder that pickling yourself in news or disturbing video doesn't help anyone. If you already know it's bad out there, you don't have to "bear witnes". It's time for you to find something you can do to help, and do it, no matter how small.

HARD KNOCKS by me (Ruby Lang) has hockey and is written by someone who's Asian Canadian (and has an Asian Canadian FMC) rubylangwrites.com/practice-per...

So I know HC and HQN screwed up a lot in the lead up to the Heated Rivalry series release but I’m super happy they made three book bundles for the series in both e and audio available on Hoopla. I wouldn’t have had enough l borrows to enjoy the series otherwise!

This is such an important event. Please help, share, support in any way you are able. Thanks in advance. 💜

Something I've been thinking about lately is the need to separate actual AI machine learning stuff from LLMs and whatnot. Lotta really smart folks saying some really smart things in this area, and my thought is still a bit unformed, but distinction would help resisters pry schools away from AI. 1/

Totally #baddecisionsbookclub last night finishing Tough Guy and immediately starting Common Goal. I was really sunk into the #GameChangers world. I love how both these books have different dynamics and presentations of identity than the first two.

Instead of a wedding ring if he can get me this collection!!!! Especially indigo!!!! #blackbook

Ponyo, its the one I tend to show other people because I love it so much

People cannot get enough of Heated Rivalry and are organizing online meetups to talk about the show, further highlighting a persistent, wider desire for 1) queer joy, 2) community, 3) post-holiday dopamine/mental escape when the news is depressing as heck.

Mystery Television Binge Watch Round-up Back in 2020 I started a thread on Twitter of all about the mystery tv shows I was binge watching. I moved it over to Bluesky when I deleted my Twitter archive and it is about time it made to my blog. Ana Coqui @ @anacoqui •3/28/20 I've been binge watching…

My favorite reads of 2025

i desperately need the lesbian fantasy romance authors to read Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C Wrede bc i am dying out here without butch dragon × femme princess inspired by Kazul and Cimorene "she's not *my* dragon, i'm *her* princess! get it right" is so funny

Since we're apparently talking about taking oaths on various books, I'm reposting one of my all-time favs. 📚

Are those... nails Like I realize the completely impossible knitting situation is the actual problem but

Opened a diary I started at the end of 2019 and abandoned right before 2020. Of note C was sick with what we figured out later was Covid! Before I started today’s entry I had to scribble on the facing page: Covid, T2.0 and so just so much….

Mini-bio: A lifelong genre reader, grew up reading fantasy, sci-fi & mystery in Puerto Rico, then found Romance in a post-grad school burnout haze! When I’m not reading, talking about books or knitting I’m a school librarian. in short: Bi🏳️‍🌈 Boricua 🇵🇷 Knitter 🧶 Rombklove 💕 Librarian 📚

Babes! It's the last day of the month. 1. You're hoopla downloads?! 2. Is there something you should cancel that renews soon?

Read 101 books, migrated my blog to a new platform, started hrt and other meds that helped me feel better. Also lifted heavy weights!

😀Get it right, folks.
