Fucking this.

Someone rec'd Broken Ice by Narina Vivancos to me and it's an ABO hockey book that feels like it used to be fic. Anyone know if it was? Or whomst the RFP pairing would have been? I'm wildly curious.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Honestly, I feel like @icmezzo.bsky.social wrote this about us.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

She also just told a cold caller “if you want me to buy something from you you’ll need to speak English so I can understand you.” #KarenBehavior

My aunt Karen insisting she’s “not A Karen” might be the most Karen behavior ever.

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.

I want this as a jigsaw puzzle!

I just saw a woman on tiktok say that she didn't know the page numbers on an ebook were different from a physical book. I have to turn off the internet.

I read this book in 3 days; simply an un-put-downable read. There isn't an adjective that does it, or the author, justice. I've read books of every genre, by authors of great talent, and this work stands apart from all, in the very best way. Ghost Flower is exceptional. Highly recommend. ❤️

This New Yorker piece is the most hopeful I've felt about the world in a long time. I had no idea solar was booming like this. And if you live in the same world as me, dominated by oil & gas guys maintaining that solar and wind are inefficient gimmicks, you might not've known some of this either.

🏳️‍🌈 New! Book! Alert! It's a rollicking adventure, wartime #mmromance, histroical epic, oh and there's WEREWOLVES! Pre-order now: mybook.to/Cnj2xN

Doomscrolling cleanser.

i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc. FOR FREE.

I did not have “heal your buried trauma by watching the twilight series at your hair salon with a bunch of queer/femme/nb people” on my 2025 bingo card but that appears to be what’s happening.

Who the FUCK is in the gritty costume (though p convinced Gritty is a being at this point) and can we bring them to the next ICE raid as backup?

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

For the record, @ifbookspod.bsky.social was correct.

I’m listening to an old “worst takes” patreon episode of @ifbookspod.bsky.social and the first example is an article written by one of my faculty 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

it's giving

I bought a bunch of string-of-things clippings from a seller on Etsy and am planting them today. Whyyyyyyy do i feel so guilty tossing out tiny leaves instead of saving and propagating them all?????

@sirona.bsky.social i took a deep breath and said a tiny prayer opening my soil container today thinking of you

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Black lives matter. No human being is illegal. Abolish the police. Happy Pride.🧱

brian was starting to think that maybe his mom wasn’t coming back

tl;dr: ACAB includes jokes about disability, just as much as it includes people who patrol to catch people "faking" disability while using a mobility aid or accessible parking space. ACAB includes anyone policing people's bodies. As ever, kill the cop inside your head.

I don’t know who is ready to hear this but people don’t have to add value Like people should also be allowed to exist for free

Avengers is on my tv and I feel myself slipping into a Tony Stark spiral 😭 I just love him so much

Abolish prisons, but also this man needs to be put somewhere he can have zero contact with children, jfc.

her: come over me: can’t. i’m steering a 443-foot cargo ship her: my parents aren’t home ;)

Tbh i feel like this is where most women i know are in reality rn 😂😂😭😭😭😭😩😂😩

Corgis have an extremely low center of gravity and the density of a dead star. PERFECT for skateboarding! 😇

Lmao

dear diary, it has been 437 days since my husband disappeared under mysterious circumstances. alas, I am unable to inform the police, for I am a mere woman.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

"Why are you booing me, I'm right" might be my favorite @michaelhobbes.bsky.social quote ever.

If you scripted a book or a movie with the emotional plot of this game i would tell you to tone it down and be more believable.

Holy fucking shit, Stars! What a fucking comeback!

I listened to a podcast on 1.25x speed yesterday and just opened a Maintenance Phase episode... Boy if there's ever a show you *shouldn't* listen to sped up, it's that one. 😂

Listen, I know this isn’t remotely the point, but if you’ve ever worked in higher ed the idea that money from STEM classes/depts/colleges goes to fund improvements for arts and humanities buildings is HILARIOUS.

Man I’m just so fucking proud of all the people who didn’t give up and aren’t going to give up
