Pretentious readers are boring. Too busy deciding what “counts” as reading to actually enjoy the reading itself. And that shit is more performative than enjoying audiobooks or reading in public or having a color coded bookshelf ever is, btw. #booksky

I’m so sad to hear about Anthony Head’s passing. He was such a brilliant actor and I’ve never heard a bad word about him. RIP 😔

Very sad to hear of the passing of MARJANE SATRAPI. A lot of the 'graphic novels' produced since the format became popular, really are collections, not 'novels' at all. Persepolis was something special. A novel that lived in my mind long, long after I read it. A very sad loss.

Went to start Love Island only to find I didn’t pay my peacock subscription 😔

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only Buffy Big Brother Orphan Black Charmed Community Ugly Betty Parks and Rec Veronica Mars Gilmore Girls Breaking Bad Jane The Virgin King Of The Hill Weeds* Gravity Falls GOT* *note: I will retcon entire seasons out of my brain if I don’t like them

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I don’t know a thing about Summer House, nor do I understand even a little about what’s happening, but I’m glad to see the TL popping off about something!

The afroman trial footage is my dopamine hit of the night

What noncontroversy happened with Chappell Roan this time?

This is actually insane to wrap my head around.

Me this weekend

I hear there are complaints of this place being dead. This is just a reminder that off-season the bb community on x was comparatively quiet too. Things will peak back up soon enough!

I was on my way to a full night’s sleep until my husband woke me up to tell me he saw a centipede and now he can’t find it. So now I’m going to get a full night’s anxiety instead. 🥲

Watch me make my first order for my amazing Bloomf @salshere.bsky.social! Making these cups is honestly like therapy for me. Having a creative outlet in times like these is really keeping me grounded. If you want buy a cup use FIRST20 for 20% off maricrafts2much.bigcartel.com

I appreciate that even in February, if I’m feeling too overwhelmed or sad, I can come here and see at least one post about big brother.

I forgot the Super Bowl was today and was so confused when I got on here😅 I hope everyone is having fun!

“Someone once said” followed by a very surface level take is social media’s modern equivalent to these relics of the 2000s-2010s

I think the bsky community is more pro-plagiarism than ppl would like to admit 😏

Yall I just learned that the Grammys happened. I feel uncultured

Monsters Inc Ratatouille Turning Red The Incredibles I probably watch each of these at least once a year

What even is the point of this 😭 sometimes people really need to get another hobby. Which is insane, because bb is already the hobby for people without anything to do in the summer 😅

Jan 26 Book Reviews #1. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch 4 ⭐️ Sci-Fi This was my first Crouch. It’s easy to read, fun, and there was definitely some creativity put into this book. Dark Matter would be a great starter for new Sci-Fi fans. Points docked for a man who writes women like a man. #booksky

Finished this book tonight! As with any anthology, some essays were better than others, but this was overall a very enjoyable read. I would recommend, especially if you’re a fan of horror movies or queer literary analysis #booksky

There are egg haters?

@indiealison.bsky.social happy birthday friend 💕 I hope it is a wonderful one!

Darren Aranofsky should’ve stopped at Black Swan (Mother, if I’m being generous). What an absolute tool. #filmsky

Veronica Mars season 1 thoughts: (Spoiler Alert 🚨) 1. Wallace and Mac are gems and I hope we get more of them in s2 2. Weevil and Logan >>>. I want Veronica to end up with Logan but the finale makes that unlikely 3. The Kane family is boring as fuck and Idc about them 4. I ship Keith and Alicia

Almost finished with season one of Veronica Mars. The responsible thing to do would be sleep now and finish the season tomorrow. But that’s definitely not what I’m going to do.

Instead of using ChatGPT or even google for my stupid random question, I just ask the bloomfs 😎

Call me chronically out of the loop, but why is there so much ANTM discourse recently?

My skyline is so much sports today and I know nothing about sports but I just hope everyone is having a good time with it

Great news friends: I will start my final undergraduate semester next Monday 🥳 🎉

Week of Jan. 26 What I’m: Watching- How I Met Your Mother (rewatch) Veronica Mars (first time watch-through) Bone Lake (3 ⭐️) Reading- It Came From The Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror by Joe Valeese and Various others Drinking- Milo’s Sweet Tea Water Listening to- MGMT, Poppy #filmsky #booksky

In the off-season I never know what to post because I don’t watch many of the other shows people enjoy. I talk a lot about politics, but I would love to post some sources of my sources of joy on bsky too. So, I think I’m gonna start doing some nightly posts about hobbies and a sort of “QOTD” again

Every truth social post I see reads like a delusional teenager recounting their version of events in a diary

Literally bawling. Rest in peace Alex Pretti.

If we aren’t already following each other on Letterboxd, are we even friends? boxd.it/3b1Lx

“It’s ok dude, I’m not mad at you” And “are you ok?”. Keith and Renee and Alex. Family man and wife and mother and nurse. Executions. Murders.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Atp anybody who falls for propaganda from this administration is not just lacking media literacy— they actively choose to believe fake shit so that they don’t have to confront their own terrible morals. Their soul is fucking ugly and they don’t wanna look in the mirror.

The fact that an average week in the United States include people having to protest in -20 weather, kindergarten-aged children kidnapped by the paramilitary, and nazis murdering another citizen in the streets is fucking disgusting. And every representative doing fuck all to stop this is soulless.

Your citizens are being murdered in the street. The president does not give a shit. He’ll send another 1000 nazis in response. Strongly worded calls and letters are not enough.

Somebody needs to ban me from adverbs.

Today, in the tradition of capitalism, I will be grading the promo emails I get based on how cheap their “birthday freebie” is. In last place is chipotle. This is a company with a $53 billion dollar net worth, and they have offered me a free side with their $20 burritos.

So I’m watching People We Meet on Vacation rn and I keep thinking “Emily Henry should write a book from Sarah’s perspective.” And then I realized that’s basically what Funny Story is #booksky

Northanger Abbey is Austen’s best work. Argue with the wall #booksky

Good news friends: as of Monday, I will no longer be 25 🥳🥳🎉🎉

I’ve spent an ungodly amount of the last 24 hours in anger and despair over the state of this nation. I need to give my brain (and soul) a moment of peace.

We are not even a year in. Blatant acts of authoritarianism are being committed daily. Senators have been assassinated. Rights are regularly being threatened, stripped, and ignored. We are constantly on the brink of war. Innocent civilians are being killed. And nothing is being held accountable.
