Miri Teixeira-Connor@miri.bsky.social · 4w agoI've played every cozy/life-sim/farm-romance game I could get my hands on since I was about 9 years old and I can genuinely say after the 1.0 release that Fields Of Mistria is my favourite of them all. The weddings actually made me cry, lol. Anyway guides coming SOOOON!
I’ve missed doing Christmas gift guides from my kids’ mags days!!!
Working Classicists@workingclassicists.bsky.social · 9mo ago✨NEW ARTICLE!✨ Our Christmas Gift List has landed, *just* in time for Black Friday! Let @jacquelinewrites.bsky.social show you some MAGIC gift ideas for the Classicists in your life. www.workingclassicists.com/zine/the-wor...
there are certain friends who come to visit and always borrow some books from the library of jacky and the feeling of taking their vibe and pulling some book recs out and then those books being a HIT is better than any high
nothing helps you stay hydrated more than an 11mo who just learnt to “cheers” cups and you have to drink every time
tiny bookshop doing what no teacher, movie, book shop or friend ever could and got me reading “persuasion”, my first austen (and literature classic of that kind)
tiny bookshop is the answer to what I didn’t know I was missing rn
I was unprepared for how much cardboard my baby would eat
people who critique mario kart world for the free roam not having enough to do vastly underestimate how much kids will just drive around and fill in with their imagination
sometimes I’ll be minding my own business and I’ll remember that in year 8 (13/14yo) our dance teacher had us pairing with boys to do CHAIROGRAPHY to christina aguilera’s candyman and am I clutching pearls a bit or is that an insanely weird thing to do to awkward hormonal teenagers
I didn’t even notice that the switch 2 came out today and it made me realise how much I miss being in the loop of gaming news and discourse and hype SO let’s try this app again hello
Painting by Murders | Aspiring artist Ginger has a killer secret: murder is her muse. But with a nosy BFF, a viral podcast, and a boomer detective closing in on her twisted vigilante creations, Ginger must paint the perfect lie – or die trying. Bella Mackie x Callum McSorley #scotwriterpitch2025
every so often I go to therapy and the sessions are so funny bc it’s always me: I have noticed these feelings to do with X how do I fix that therapist: what if those feelings don’t need to be fixed me: oh therapist: will that be cash or card
One thing about me is I LOVE to show my ticket on the train. Sitting up pin-straight with it ready in my hand, about to get top marks in Train.
I just read this in a day I couldn’t let it go and I don’t think I ever will
William Hussey@whusseyauthor.bsky.social · last yr.Just over 6 weeks since THE BOY I LOVE was published and I’ve just heard how many paperback copies we’ve sold! Mind well and truly blown! Beyond ANYTHING I could ever have hoped for! Thank you to everyone who has taken Stephen and Danny’s story to your heart!
this looks like a bit of me!!!!
Miri Teixeira-Connor@miri.bsky.social · last yr.My review of Wanderstop for GamesRadar just went up. I wasn't expecting to be so moved or challenged by a "cozy" game, but I'm glad I was. For all my pals working too hard, maybe make yourself a cup of tea and give this a read ❤️ www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...
Miri lighting up the life of anyone who has the privilege of knowing her✨✨✨
Miri Teixeira-Connor@miri.bsky.social · last yr.I’m so glad I met @jacquelinewrites.bsky.social thu Working Classicists. One of the real joys of my life in Scotland is being her friend. Shes literally always got my back - for pep talks, practical help, or specifically 30 vegan cupcakes made for an event. Love her so much, just a wonderful person.
my first evening away from baby followed by a metal gig and what an evening it was
Working Classicists@workingclassicists.bsky.social · last yr.Yesterday’s book launch event for A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology at Waterstones in Dundee was so much fun! 🤩 Some excellent readers, lots of book stamping, and a very cake-y finish. 🧁 Thank you to everyone who came and chatted with us, so good to meet you all 🥰
Sometimes it is just me and the books I have reread regularly since I was 13 against the world.
“ok that’s enough” I whisper to myself as I stop doomscrolling and roll over to read THE HUNGER GAMES for escapism
one more thing I think is important to mention is that I almost panicked and cancelled this briefly bc I thought “oh I’m not qualified for this what if people think I don’t belong here” then realised… that’s the whole point of the book!

I didn’t know what the wild robot was about and I am emotionally destroyed (in a good absolutely beautiful film way)
one thing about me is that if you let me talk about Medea I will not stop but in all seriousness this was so much fun!!!
