Anyone intimidated by big books/out of practice with reading! novellas and short story, poetry or essay collections can be super helpful for getting into it, figuring out your style preferences etc. (as well as just being interesting in their own right ofc)

Hatchette canceling #SHYGIRL based on AI allegations is hilarious. Ask the editors they fired and replaced with AI editing software and proofing how funny that is.

i dont understand not understanding something you should just understand because its understandable like right am i the only one who doesnt understand also punctuation like yucky vom vom

please read books

@michaelpatrickhicks.com hey, brother, just saw your order. I think I can get it out tomorrow. Thanks for the support!

Learn from the french. You need to be out on the streets until things change not arrange a one day demonstration and strike and then business and usual the next day. The regime laughs at you or totally ignores you.

Oh, would you lookey here... One step closer! @stevengomzi.bsky.social @dantastic.bsky.social

Thank you for the kind words, Steven ❤️

I came across one of those AI authors on Goodreads. Luckily, it doesn't seem to be selling well, because all of its reviews are AI too, aside from Deb, who said it was too gory. The AI didn't like that, so it started commenting on her review. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Jaw! They said JAW! Now I need a new pair of pants. 😭

Posted on my review of WHAT I TALK ABOUT WHEN I TALK ABOUT RUNNING by Haruki Murakami.

Dems aren't pushing for the release of the files because there's just as many of them (Clinton, Pelosi, Cuomo, et al) on that list as there are Trump and pals. The release of these files wil change the face of this country forever...or it will all blow over because no one in power wants to lose it.

We KNOW no one is above the law. It's politicians who seem to have forgotten, especially the assholes in American government. DO. SOMETHING.

@dantastic.bsky.social Wtf? I could swore you were the first person I followed when I made this account...

Clever ahh song

Anyone ever feel like America is an escape room and the owner/operator for real lost the key? Like, it's supposed to be fun and maybe a little scary, but then you realize you're gonna starve to death and everyone will say it's your fault for playing in the first place?

Help if you can, share if you can't.

It's 2026 and people are still complaining about naughty words? 😭😭😭

Next time you wonder how America ended up where it is, remember this couple who sold 100 tickets to heaven before the cops shut them down.

What's the worst that could-- 💥🎆🔥👨‍🚒

ICE is just Trump's gestapo, right? Like, we're all on the same page here? Right? An organization beholden to a dictator used to round up a minority? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Because they were intelligent people and this is the stupidest dystopia ever created, fact or fiction.

I can't wait for this image to be used out of context in some TikTok video about proof that cat gods exist. "THERE'S NO OTHER GOOD EXPLANATION!!!"

This.

Help if you can, share if you can't. Jake is good people.

Is "someone" buying reviews for the Gwendy omnibus? Take a look at the five-star reviews here and see if you see what I'm seeing... amzn.to/4sMXKxy

I've just started the First Interlude of IT by Stephen King. It's my 20th read of the book and I'm still finding new stuff to talk about. Also, it's storming here. The vibes are immaculate. 🥰

My girlfriend at the time said she wanted to go down on me for the first time so I dipped my dick in Listerine because I thought it'd make it taste better.

Have you seen *gestures wildly in every direction* the absolutely fucked state of everything??? Kidding, enjoy your stick-puck-fistfighting shenanigans 🥰

An ape-like ancestor, neither a monkey or ape, but otherwise correct. Get wellactuallyed, newb!

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Oh yeah, well, the vast majority of y'all's fathers are motherfuckers, so there

claustrophobia is so stupid. let Santa get married.

Enjoyable if basic mystery I got from Amazon's First Reads program. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Booksky

I miss the days of Christian propaganda when they actually tried. BEN HUR, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, DEBBIE DOES JERUSALEM, those films were high concept, high production. Now we get shit like DAVID and FIREPROOF. It's far too easy to be an atheist these days. I wanna work to not believe!

Stop what you’re doing and go read N.K. Jemisin’s short story Emergency Skin. It is SOOOO good you will not be disappointed. #booksky #blackbooksky

masturbate to teach yourself that everything hard softens eventually if you lack the required equipment for this metaphor I'm sure someone will gladly let you borrow one smooches

It is *maddening* to see this.

@cobb.bsky.social How you been, brother?

A poem to start your day: I didn't know Rob Reiner but I loved STAND BY ME. I didn't know Charlie Kirk but I fuckin hate Nazis. E.
