I will say this: “Library” is not always the answer to book piracy. Sometimes a library will never get a book, whether that’s because of Amazon restrictions on availability or library pickiness or you’re the only patron who wants it. Sometimes the answer is: You don’t get to read this book right now

@thestorygraph.com I still think this is a good idea that cannot POSSIBLY go wrong

Frankenstein (2025)

great news: this hasn’t happened so far. terrible news: i’m behind on my word count

this is still happening

Sometimes I wonder how you people see all these stuff you’re mad about and then I realize you’re not exclusively on the Following page

okay bluesky has got to be one of the dumbest social media platforms. everyone go back to tumblr where borzois get inexplicably flagged as potentially mature. it’s also stupid there but we know they aren’t doing it on purpose.

Hurts to see others living your dream (writing a bad book but other people think it’s good for some reason)

I'm going to get into trouble and do the Reedsy novel sprint this year. I'm extra excited because you can't copy and paste anything so that means if I do get the urge to write in a notebook or whatever I guess I have to just type it all in the middle of the night or something

You might think that you eventually grow up and put away childish things but I tell you I spotted the Backstreet Boy IMMEDIATELY. Twelve-year-old girls are eternal. Anyway now to finish reading the thread

Connections has the stupidest categories ever. Leopold Bloom isn't even a real person

Instead of giving Stranger Things finale a theatrical release, how about just expanding the release of Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN? 🥺

I love going on Tumblr because I can go there and see the most amazing takes. Today they told me that jewelry isn’t art

I wonder if my library knows I’m using Transparent Language…like do they get stats…does line go up…

Donating blood is so cool. Here is some of my juice for you. I can make more for free

Thinking of starting a new free online literary zine (hosted on Tumblr, naturally) called The Epistle to Enoby, where the one strict requirement is that all submissions must be epistolary genre fiction. Horror encouraged, others welcomed. Everything subject to my whimsy and caprice (undescribed)

I just found out that the Apple computer mouse emoji is their hateful bad magic mouse and I believe it is time for us to destroy Apple now

The other problem with Libby, of course, is that it sucks and is bad and they should never have spent months replacing my beautiful wife OverDrive with it for no reason

People were mad about the Libby hold change but no one is mad about the real problem with Libby: hold slots and loan slots should be the same. What’s the point of having all my hold slots taken up and all my loans free if I only want to read the books I have on hold

Everything reminds me of her (CaitVi Kinktober)

sorry bram bluesky said those vampire women didn’t get clear consent from jonathan before trying erotically to eat him :( so it’s illegal :( i wanted to post my dracula fanart here but :( mister bluesky said no :( he probably won’t be happy about what you wrote either tbh

- @wordlandlord.bsky.social: Perhaps a vitamin D deficiency will be their undoing. - Me: Scurvy all the way. - Me: wait, that’s vitamin C. - Me: I’m so dumb. - Maureen: They can get that too.

It used to be you got sent beautiful engraved invitations for protests in the mail. Nowadays you’re expected to RSVP online and half the protesters just show up without even doing that much. Kids these days. SMH.

One of my first reactions to the "RSVP to the protest" thing was: "Lol I would not do that how about if you RSVP to my BUTT." But then I thought..."RSVP to My Butt" sounds like a @chucktingle.bsky.social title about people who are very excited to make intimate plans. And I think that's beautiful.

damn that’s crazy

I’m having some fun responding to the Bluesky community guidelines survey

I don't know that I've ever seen a service I pay for discontinue its free tier, so I view Dashlane's move with suspicion even though I'm not really sure why. Anyway...I'm keeping an eye on all password managers with family plans (I love my family so I paid for the family plan just for them)

what the hell are some of you people even talking about

I dunno, feels relevant to the way some of you people are acting about Roy Cooper on here

Me running for office: I’m not going to drain the swamp because swamps are good. I will however present to you my detailed forest management plan for the swamp. Get your waders on

I need all of you to stop giving in to the swamp metaphors in politics. Stop slandering swamps. Wetlands are important ecosystems. Do not drain them! Swamps are good! Corruption is bad! If you drain a swamp you’re part of the problem! Have some respect for the world around you!

Gorilla Twins is currently 99 pennies

I need subscription services to know that that is NOT “$7.50 per month billed annually.” It’s $90 per year. It’s stupid to talk about annual subscriptions in terms of anything monthly. I’m going to kill you.

I can't believe I missed the low-hanging fruit (rimshot) of saying this show doesn't even have Cheryl Blossom

Every time I hear there's WorldCon news I have to treat it like I'm tuning in to a new episode of Riverdale. And THIS show doesn't even have the serial killer gene.

I have endured bad wi-fi to make one (1) north carolina politics meme

Anita Earls plugged her tiktok and I followed her on bluesky because I’m a square <3

I have to stop coming here and complaining. Time for positivity. I love my dog

I can’t believe you people let booktwt move to threads. I have to look for drama there now. Exhausting.

happy pride to baron von steuben and the continental army

happy pride to animorphs 🏳️‍🌈🦎

Not enough people are haters of the things I want to see haters' thoughts about and too many people are likers of the things I hate

Okay today I learned that if you want to give someone unfamiliar with computers and such a Kindle but you don’t really want them to get into online shopping what you need to do is put it in airplane mode and just load it up with books from the public domain

Really admirable self-control exhibited by everyone who did not write the headline “North Carolina’s biggest little bitch finally gives up”

So I'm glad the local small businesses are doing well or whatever but whyyyyy is this coffee shop full and why did someone have to be at myyyyyyyy table

I wish the organizations and events that give you a free t-shirt would sometimes mix it up by giving you free pajama pants instead

Lori Beth Denberg was my favorite part of All That and I'm delighted to see she's just as funny now as then.

Will people vote for Democrats if we tell them that Republicans not funding the DMV means I have no idea when I’ll get my driver license renewed and basically they’re trying to stop me from getting things ready for the church service on Sunday? Can’t do my job if I can’t drive to work.

girl just clarify your words where everyone can see literally everyone's blood pressure will go down

Every so often I think about authors who have ruined their reputations after beefing with Goodreads reviewers and listen. Go read the reviews for any book you didn’t write and you’ll that some of these folks are the stupidest people on the planet. Don’t fight with them. Get a diary.
