I just discovered tumblr still has a post limit after not hitting it for at least 8 years all because of hudson williams with his little fan at the oscars

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Went very on theme with my snow day read btw #booksky #snowstorm #fern

Thought I'd post my weekly wrap up here too! 📚💙 🌈💙 #booksky

WHAT WE ARE SEEKING is a most-anticipated book for Reactor, LGBTQ Reads, Nerd Daily, Abigail Nussbaum, and *squints* Men's Health? OK sure why not. It is, in a way, a book about masculinity, which makes it a little ironic that I had to become a woman to finish it www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I made a few posts on ⏰ that the app (for some reason 🙄) didn't want to promote, but I'll try it on here! Queer Booktok friends- how are we handling the ⏰ tos update? I'm feeling especially gross about the idea of my participation in the app helping border patrol/ICE in any way. 📚💙 #booksky #ice

I have returned to BlueSky with crushing seasonal depression and a newfound obsession with Heated Rivalry that could be charged to my insurance hiiiiiii

I just saw a TikTok where a woman was listening to Edelweiss and said she finally understood how Captain Von Trapp felt. And honestly, same. Excuse me while I go sob into my pillow for an hour.

Got reminded that this acct exists right as I'm spiralling about the future of booktok so hiiiii 🌈📚

Rewarded myself on finally reviewing another handful of arcs by downloading & requesting even more arcs (that's how it works, right?) 🌈📚 #booksky

I finished btw ✨

The sheer euphoria I got from having accidentally 3d printed the perfect bookmark for my current read- it's gonna get me through the week 💙📚 #adeathindoorcounty

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots is well written, steeped in social commentary, fast paced, queer, imaginative, and fun. It’s also very angry and fiercely feminist. You root for the found family of super villains. I thought Hench was very good! 🌈📚💙

Natalie Zed@nataliezed.bsky.social · last yr.

I come bearing a tiny bit of good news: HENCH is the featured deal on @ebookdaily for only $1.99 ebookdaily.com/bargain-kind... It's also available of kindle for $1.99! www.amazon.com/Hench-Novel-... relevant fun fact: I named the institution of superheroism The Draft after the evils of the NFL.

still thinking about that (very good) short story collection I read that was mostly surreal-ish horror except from TWO STORIES that were entirely just about having being turned on by a goth woman and realizing you want to gay kiss your friend while high #booksky 🌈📚

Desperately desperately hoping The Rose Bargain gets the Bridgerton treatment & a fully fleshed out sapphic regency romance side story pleeeeease 😭 #therosebargain #booksky #diversebooksky 🌈📚

To answer my own question - my favorite things I've done at my library are probably DIY Sprayed Edges, teaching a yarn spinning class, making moss walls, and our huuuuge Pride & Disability Pride displays in June & July 🥳 🌈📚

I'm 100% not willing to jinx it, but.... I think this year may break my 3 year slump of like close to zero star reads.... 🙏🤞 #booksky 🌈📚

I just saw the 2025 US banned books list. I just want to say, go read books. Talk about them. Share them. And please write them. While many of these books will still be published, they do become less accessible when removed from libraries Be a book punk. Read them all

(2/2) Several OR cities are dealing with this due to property tax compression from taxes passed in the 90s, but no other city of Salem’s size in OR has even THOUGHT about shuttering their libraries. City Manager and Council seem all for funding the cops though!! More at savesalemlibrary.carrd.co
