i thought everyone detached from their brain at dusk and let it wander where it will like mist, until first light....
bex (he/they)@drawnbybex.bsky.social · 7mo agoI appreciate your bravery in sharing something so personal 😌 i do think it's a little unsafe to let your brain play outside like that, they're generally safer and feel more secure within a body, human or otherwise
"When I was six, I lay down for a nap on the couch and woke up inside the oven. Mother is God. I'm Sodom and Gomorrah. No ounce of good left in me. Run." Only 16 pages into "Model Home" by @riverssolomon.bsky.social, and I've said "Damn, that's a banger line" out loud 5 or 6 times already. 💙📚🩸

Reading “Mother is Watching” by Karma Brown while it’s 46 degrees outside. Questioning my decision to buy a chilly drink 😱🥶 💙📚🩸
Don’t mind me. Just drooling over this ARC of “Operation Bounce House” by Matt Dinniman 🧡🤤 Thank you @mattdinniman.bsky.social & @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social! 💙📚🪐

Life has been doing its thing, but I’ve finally created space enough to breathe. Indulging in a lazy morning with a coffee and “Overgrowth” by Mira Grant (@seananmcguire.bsky.social). I love plant aliens 💙📚🩸

Book: Between Two Fires Author: @buehlmeister.bsky.social Rating: 5/5 ⭐️ Full review: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/6cc3... Buehlman has flipped the Script(ure): God has abandoned us to fallen angels. How are a knight, a girl, and a priest to overcome the depravity of this medieval hellscape? 💙📚🩸

Is this what they mean when they say, “That girl has range”? 😂 (It isn’t.) • “Siddhartha” by Hermann Hesse • “Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees” by Patrick Horvath 💙📚🩸
This week in the world of Wyrd Wit: 1. Partnering with an author who’s submitting her horror novella into a competition tomorrow. 2. Finishing a beta read for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel. 3. Wrapping up a buddy read of “Between Two Fires” by @buehlmeister.bsky.social (crying) Books rule 📚💙🪐🩸
Don’t mind me. Just over here growing my Le Guin, @sgj.bsky.social, @agustinabazterrica.bsky.social, & @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social collections. 💙📚🩸🪐🏳️🌈
I kind of laugh at the idea of a "reliable narrator". Have you met people?!
August top reads 📚💙🩸🪐 1. Just a guy with a dream who can’t catch a break. Cue that Chumbawamba track. 2. Beware of secret doors to alternate Earths, talking marmots, and being pouched. You may like the pouch though. 3. I also love my sister, cats, and intimidating those who derail my routine.
On average, 9/10 books I read are fiction. Call it escapism, if you must. With nonfiction, I tend to be drawn to themes of interconnection and equality, which naturally lend themselves to social justice and the natural environment. Hoping for a glimpse of hope in “The Serviceberry” 📚💙💡🌱
“If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.” From “The Dispossessed” by Ursula K. Le Guin. The perfect distillation of this novel at its core. 💙📚🪐
The Wheel made me do it. The Wheel knows what I crave. The Wheel is omniscient. Next ARC read = "You Did Nothing Wrong" by CG Drews 🩸📚 💙📚 @paperfury.bsky.social #ARCreader #indecisivereader #moodreader
The latest PDX heatwave was followed by overcast skies and #Summerween cravings. You can find me tucked into a corner at the book pub with “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” by Shirley Jackson for company 💙📚 🩸📚
