I refuse to DNF books. I might put it down for a while and pick it back up, but I refuse to DNF. It took me 20 years to read The Shining. Literally. 💀 Still working on IT.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Whenever I’m at work I have beautiful prose running through my mind and boundless inspiration for my book, and as soon as I get home I forget every idea I ever had.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

If you live in New England, Hannafords has ALWAYS been prideful of their DEI programs and puts a lot of time and effort into making sure to be a safe place to work and to educate their employees about black history, lgbtq history, hispanic heritage, and woman’s history. #DEI #hannaford

last year i made the mistake of reading too many things out of my comfort zone and it burned me out pretty fast, so this year i’m gonna stay IN my comfort zone (horror/thriller) and branch out to new authors! especially trans and non-binary writers. #booksky #horror

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Pretty big deal. @bookshop-org.bsky.social is selling ebooks now. You can now support indies while purchasing digital books. bookshop.org/ebooks

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!” I really felt that.

hell yeah costco

Somehow pretending I’m an innie who doesn’t know anything about the outie world is helping me get through my days. Idk if that’s healthy but if it helps? #severance

Congratulations Thailand! I love to hear some good news 🧡

I found this cool vintage cover of ‘Salem’s Lot at the supermarket! I already have this book but I HAD to get it. #booksky #stephenking #salemslot

I finally did it. I finished The Shining. And I feel kinda…empty? I’ve been reading The Shining and IT little by little for over 20 years. Since I was a kid. I kind of don’t want to finish IT for a while. I don’t want to say goodbye. 😭 #booksky #stephenking #theshining

I’m so excited!! I’ve never ordered a special edition book before but this one was so cool. I pre-ordered it in July so it was like a little gift to myself. Now I feel like I need a normal copy to actually read. #booksky #gradyhendrix #horror #witchcraftforwaywardgirls

hey guys! is it just me, or are the steel watchers kinda unsettling? and why did they take gortash’s inauguration inside yesterday?? -a concerned citizen #baldursgate

I tried this at 7:00am EST and got the same results. Hashtags for Libertarian and Jillstein are censored as well.

It may seem cheesy, but I rewatched all the LOTR special extendeds last week and had a big cry at this bit, but it also made me feel better about the world. So just in case it helps anyone else, here you go, Samwise’s speech: #booksky #lotr

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words. While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

In hindsight, my coping strategy of “don’t think about it until January” was absolutely genius until it became January.

it feels like TikTok got bitten by a zombie and is hiding the bite

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

I get no thanks or recognition for Not Being Worse. I could be worse and yet I choose not to be. But if this continues perhaps I'll be forced to reconsider...

Good morning #booksky Just a friendly reminder that Audible, owned by Amazon/Bezos, supports the tech giant. Libro.fm offers an alternative, letting you buy audiobooks while supporting independent bookstores. Choose where your dollars go and align your listening with your values.

This is the last TikTok I saw before it went dark. I thought it was really nice. I didn’t get a chance to heart it before it went black. 😭 #tiktok

just gonna say... stay alert. stay sharp. pay attention. be critical. be skeptical. this is not about losing a silly lil app.

I deleted TikTok. Whatever happens to it, it’s dead to me. I don’t want anything to do with whatever this is. #tiktokban #tiktok

My spouse made corn chowder and pie tonight in honor of David Lynch, and I thought that was a damn fine idea.
