Personal Vent: Being the group's hangout organizer is all fun and games until people initiate their own ideas but then still expect ME to organize THEIR hangout idea, and it's somehow MY fault they can't even suggest a day in the group chat. Like girl are you being srs rn? YOU'RE THE HOST, NOT ME!!

"Dead Man's Mirror" 💙📚 #booksky I've decided that I like Poirot stories! However, the shorter the story, the less I seem to appreciate the conclusion. The titular mystery was the best out of the three, and "Triangle in Rhodes" felt a bit more like "ok, if you say so..." Still enjoyable! 🪞3/5🪞

I made pancakes today. I made them for everyone else first. When it was time to make mine I was low on batter but I made it work, making it runny with low-fat milk. Time made the pan too hot but I thought; if I grease the pan, just for me, it will be a waste. I didn't eat pancakes today. #poetry

Portland has fallen!

Personal topic, but I don't think I should try to stay up late anymore, had a horrible anxiety attack/existential crisis last night out of nowhere. 3 am is an evil time! Weird how times change, I used to love being a nocturnal gamer.

"Song of Silver, Flame like Night" 📚💙 #booksky I enjoyed parts of it, but it's really sloppy. The main character should not have been an "outsider", it made many things feel underdeveloped. The mage villain's dialogue sounded weird. I think it does get better after the first 100 or so pages. 🐢2/5🐢

Danke Google KI aber niemand hat dich nach deiner Meinung gefragt

"Art of War" 💙📚 #booksky A quick read. The first half or so is applicable to life in general I feel, but the second half gets more into types of terrain and such which didn't particularly interest me at this time in my life. But who knows about tomorrow? A little repetitive, but glad I read it!

my book club on Discord is starting Middlemarch this evening (first 7 chapters) if you’d like to join us, shoot me a DM for the link. never too late to join!

📚💙 Finnish Post 🇫🇮 "Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti" En lapsena lukenut muumikirjoja, mutta nyt luin. Todella kiva vertailla vanhaan animaatioelokuvaan. Yliopisto-opiskelijana tykkään jotenkin eritoten siitä miten akateemikkoja herjataan. Hahmoista Niisku & Niiskuneiti olivat lempparit tässä kirjassa.

"Wolfsong" 📚💙 #booksky Super fanfic-y with the emotional dramatics and the writing style, but I teared up like 7 times so I'm not complaining. I was into the pack and supporting cast, but the main couple wasn't really for me. Certain characters needed more screentime. 100% enjoyed the book. 🐺4/5🐺

"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" 📚💙 #booksky Classically styled yet easy to read, great humor, creepy undertones - what an interesting & long book. I really enjoyed it. I think the world & the lore are absolutely marvelous. If the sequel ever comes out I'll run to the bookstore for a copy. ⭐5/5⭐

"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" 📚💙 #booksky I don't usually read history books, but I think I will in the future. This book affected me greatly. It manages to be very easy to follow despite the amount of information it's getting across. I'll look more into modern day indigenous issues ASAP. ⭐5/5⭐

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

"Murder on the Orient Express" #booksky 💙📚 To be clear, I am NOT a detective story reader, but wow. This book was great. Perfect length, memorable characters, satisfying ending. The clues I picked up on mattered (but not always how I thought they would)! I had so much fun binging this today. ⭐5/5⭐

charlie kirk died for what he believed in. in a literal sense: he believed in a world where gun deaths are inevitable and the solution to problems is violence. he excused his own death before it happened. if anyone else had died he'd already be weaponizing and relativizing it.

A streamer I follow(ed) just said that he's "a lot like Charlie Kirk actually because he just wants to debate people respectfully and people get mad at him for it", as if his opinions on video game balancing are in any way comparable to IRL political issues. Jesus Christ. Bye.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

No one is talking about making games easier when talking about accessibility you guys just pull that argument out of your ass every time because you literally believe that the bare minimum of accessibility is cheating

really appreciate the caring people who have asked me how i've been doing these past few days that i've been sick :) <3 been a really tough fever/flu/cough combo.

SILKSONG TODAY

Any recommendations for fantasy stories with a transmasc/trans man character that is not a "coming of age" story? Like they've already transitioned and there's a plot not limited to "trans problems"? I know it's a very specific request, but I'd love to read a story like that. #booksky 💙📚 🏳️‍🌈

🔥 Warner Bros is suing Midjourney!🔥 They've cited mine and Gary's work like in the other suit, including that I was banned for criticizing the company. This now means Midjourney is being sued by Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, and the class action from artists. Let's gooo! 🔥

"Homo Faber" 💙📚 #booksky Atmospheric prose is wonderful in this book, and the twist in the story has an emotional impact - but I'm very tired of reading complaints about the emptiness of modern life. In my opinion the 'classical literature' department is oversaturated with this theme. 🖼3/5🖼

"The Hero of Ages" 💙📚 #booksky No spoilers, but didn't like HOW we got to the ending. I've heard sm good about this book. Like "oh it wraps up things perfectly, so satisfying", but uh... Hmm. Oh it wraps things up alright. I just didn't know they meant it like THAT. It's still a good book. 📚4/5📚

Love caught in a frame. #aventio

It’s cannot be overstated just how disappointing it is to see Bluesky skyrocket into the public consciousness because of their progressive user base and then just stab them in the back

"All Systems Red" #booksky 💙📚 The first "Murderbot Diaries" book. Different to what I was expecting, but short and enjoyable. It took me half the length of the book to differentiate the cast members from each other - I'm a bit peeved if I have to learn a new cast for the next book. Liked it! 🤖3/5🤖

"The Lightning Thief" #booksky 💙📚 I read books 1-3 in high school I think, but re-reading the series now. I like the characters, but the action/troubles they run into are a little repetitive. I like all the gods, and the humor sometimes makes me chuckle. I want more time at the camp itself. 🌊3/5🌊

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE ALL-TIME BANGER THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD m.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-A...

"Royal Assasssin" - Robin Hobb #booksky 💙📚 I love Robin Hobb's style, the pacing feels just right. It's a sign of great writing that the supporting characters feel good and likable even when they're "against" the protagonist in some ways. Didn't cry, but man I still felt the ending. ⭐5/5⭐

I'm reading "Royal Assassin" and I'm scared to keep reading to the next chapter. "Assassin's Apprentice" gave me trust issues. I can't rely on Robin Hobb to keep things nice! With that being said, oh wow, the fact that I'm nervous means that there are stakes in the story. How rare! #booksky 💙📚

Took a proper picture of my snow leopard! 👁️👁️ #papercutart

"A Court of Frost and Starlight" #booksky 💙📚 I liked some minor details, but Tamlin gets shat on all the time and it annoys me. I think the IC are super hypocritical about him & poor Lucien. I just want Tamlin (or Feyre & Rhysand) to die at this point. There are other logical problems too. 🥶2/5🥶

"The Godfather" #booksky 💙📚 Side stories make this book feel super long at times, but it's still an enjoyable read. Great atmosphere, memorable characters. IDK why but I liked the random Lucy & Jules romance, it was a wholesome interlude. Never seen the movie, but am inspired to now. 💸3.5/5.0💸

"Fahrenheit 451" 💙📚 #booksky This book resonated with me whenever it talked about instant gratification in our culture. My rotten internet brain felt a little bit called out at times, which is good. I enjoyed many of the monologues. I should re-read it sometime with more care. I'd recommend it.

"A Court of Wings and Ruin" #booksky 📚💙 Hated ACOMAF, and the beginning of this book has the same vibe, so I thought this was going to be a 0/5 as well. However, when the MC stops ruining the lives of innocent people, the book improves a bit. The writing & structure are still kinda ass. 🧚2.5/5.0🧚

I....hate....feyre. #acotar #acomaf

"Sojourn" #booksky 💙📚 Drizzt #3. A weird book to finish the trilogy, the first half was boring because it was just Drizzt thinking or fighting, and I think the action scenes in these books are "meh". Dumb/obsessive antagonist lol. However, I still like the books and will continue. ⛰️3/5⛰️

I've been feeling random grief in my body today, even though emotionally speaking I'm somewhere between neutral and happy. I just physically feel a heaviness in my chest and like I'm about to burst into tears. I'm not a superstitious person but I hope it's not a bad omen of some sort? So weird.

The new Superman is a really good superhero movie. Pleasing visuals, fun villain, entertaining action. It had a lot of heart too, and I liked the protagonist. Been watching a lot of Marvel lately so it was really refreshing to watch a superhero movie that's less cynical and sarcastic. ⭐️5/5⭐️

Happy birthday to @stormwavehh.bsky.social lots of gifts and greetings to you my dearest bestie

Happy 27th birthday toooo meeee~! Maybe it's a lucky year since I was born on the 27th of July + my lucky numbers are 2, 5 and 7. We'll have to wait and see!

"An Offer From A Gentleman" #bridgerton #booksky 💙📚 The couple wasn't that interesting, but the ending is very satisfying despite the cartoonish nature of it. Book #3 offered what I expect from a Bridgerton story, including the couple wanting to murder each other. I still find that weird. 👠3/5👠

Fascists hate art because it allows people to experience the power of a fantasy: that things are not what they seem, that other people experience things the way you do, that a better world is possible. Imagination is a dangerous weapon when your main tactic is "because I said so"
