I ended up really loving Bat Eater and other names for Cora Zeng. The discussion of ESEA hate (with a focus on Chinese experiences) and hate crimes post covid felt necessary and relevant to read. Beautiful and sad and nightmareish and defiant #booksky

Just started this on audiobook and it has been a long time coming!

Here it is, y’all! The official cover for Devil of the Deep, by @falenciajfwrites.bsky.social , featuring art by @blackgirlabsolute.bsky.social! This is a Haitian fantasy about a mermaid, a pirate and a navy caption who have to work together to tackle an underwater cult to save the world.

I'm starting Womb City again because my eBook kept jumping pages when i was reading on Libby last year. Have a paperback this time and I'm excited #blackbooksky

Thank you so much to everyone reading/sharing 🥹💜 PORTAL 2 PLEASURE is a top new release pn the zon 😭 Have you read it yet? I promise you nothing but filthy sweet deliciousness 😌🫡 #booksky #BlackBookSky 🔗 mybook.to/portal-2-pleasure

I should be able to leave two reviews on storygraph. One that's actually a review of the book and one that explains to would-be readers that the other reviewers are simply too stupid and/or racist to get it. #blackbooksky

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I also loved Fevered Star. I knew I would. I did prefer Black Sun and I feel like less happened in this book. I can't tell of it's going to be a big bang in Mirrored Heavens or if the climax will be like the earlier two book endings but the worldbuilding and intrigue HAS me. #booksky #blackbooksky

I started It's All in Your Head by Sabina Nordqvist just in time for this challenge. A romance between two chronically I'll characters and its fun so far but I'd definitely reccomend paperback over digital as the formatting leaves much to be desired as an e copy #booksky

I really enjoyed the beginning. I feel like that shine has slightly worn off now so I'm looking forward to see what happens this chapter now a new plot element has been introduced. #booksky

I find that shame and grace are intimately connected. I definitely have a regular shaming practice. A reflex, if you will. But do I have a regular grace practice? Do you? What does it look like? #musing

Okay so I ended up doing Time and Time Again on audio book before Fevered Star and you know what? I always need queer YA romance. #booksky

I think AI "artists" should just cutout the middleman and steal art from galleries if they wanna be thieves so bad. Step up! BE BOLD!!

I am gobsmacked? Shook?? Thunderstruck a.k.a astonished, amazed or so suddenly surprised as to be unable to speak??? (thank you for like my story this much 😭)

🤯WHAT in the #CrippingDystopia is this!? You're gonna see a few of these floating around very soon... 👀 Who's ready for an anthology of #dystopian stories told by disabled and chronically ill writers? I know I am! #booksky #books #shortstories

Is it wise for me to start Fevered Star rn when I have sooo much coursework left to do before next week? No! Will I do it? Ofc. #booksky #blackbooksky

I wonder why we work so hard to criminalise people selling access to their own bodies for their own benefit... yet don't jump at the chance to criminalise people creating non consensual pornographic images of others bodies 🙂 #AI

I appreciated this take. I also often hate Black books becuase they're suchhhh a large percentage of what I read. That's kinda how it works. But also me hating the art doesn't invalidate it, or mean it shouldn't exist. #blackbooksky leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com/item/yzMlWTg...

I feel like today's moon is also pretty super.

Buffalo hunter hunter: I deeply appreciate the detailed discussion of when to eat baked goods and the consideration our MC puts into attempting to pace himself #booksky

"The rumble, I’m used to. It’s going almost all the time but with her it increases to growls, with no break. The timbre enough to warm the base of my spine. The sound like ongoing building work in an unending city..." Read The Monster by @nomonbooks.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-the-...

I do have a new squash winner btw for anyone who was following that saga. It's still not as good as original Aldi 😭

I am so hyped to read this whole issue! For my part... I feel that writing any more words about the piece will only detract from it. It's called The Monster & I invite you to sit with it, with me. CW: homophobia, racism, sexual content, fatphobia & child abuse (referenced)

Very obsessed with Ghost Leopard by @crystalkoo.bsky.social Read here: inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-ghos... An achingly beautiful illustration of what can be built in place of a broken heart. Deliciously speculative. Published in @innerworlds.bsky.social

So delighted to have gotten a chance to read it! I have such a clear visual on the final scene I don't think I'll be able to shake it 🔥 inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-pupa...

My eyes are too tired to read ATM but all I want to do is keep going on the inner worlds zine 😂 however, I AM very much enjoying the Son of the Morning audiobook #blackbooksky #booksky inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-nine-e...

Watching everyone encounter the brilliant stories that I've been thinking about for the last two months is absolutely the best bit of getting a new issue out 🥰

ahh this story has me feeling all sorts of ways…so good I am now thinking of the monster in my own house

A haunting story about periods, bodies, and the moon. The end of a relationship that might also be the end of the world. There's always an opportunity to be true to oneself. Even at the last moment. by @nomonbooks.bsky.social in Phano @ammansabet.bsky.social

I'm not a big Christmas person but also - when else can I have a TREE in my house?!?

The Palestine Action case is really simple. What terrorism have Palestine Action committed? None. Case Closed.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate how cute and published I am. www.phano.co/contributors... You're welcome.

💀 how stressed am I about doing a course about facilitating stress reduction techniques 🙃

We’ve been conditioned to believe that empathy, care, and justice are scarce resources, and that if someone gains rights or support, someone else must lose them. This isn't the case. We made this shit up. Wanting better for everyone isn’t a threat, it’s the foundation of collective liberation!!
