I have ruined
the corpses
making my

Happy birthday, Ray Bradbury, you were the king of dropping six-page stories a kid could read once in 7th grade English class and be haunted by for the rest of their life

My library hold hits and I transform into the “girl who is going to be okay” meme
Shout out to everyone on Libby hitting “deliver later” on the books I’ve got on hold and knocking weeks off my wait, you are vital pieces in the architecture of my will to live and I for one appreciate your inability to commit to that book at this time

Happy #BookLoversDay! 📚
Books are lifeboats sent by writers to rescue us, carry us away from the wreckage of our realities and into some other existence where the burden is briefly not ours to bear

It’s not you, it’s me 💔
“You're perfect just the way you are, and I wish I could be the person you deserve right now. Maybe we’ll connect again one day when the timing is right 💔”

I don’t know if I can keep making new elaborate passwords, man. I stg the next time I have to come up with one it’s going to require me to include a solved calculus equation and ensure it passes the Bechdel test before it’ll be accepted

Just give that babe a library. Babes love libraries
Appreciate how hard the media of my youth went with the “if he loves you, he will offer up the library of your dreams” messaging

I hated to send it at all, honestly. Be free now
I hope this email doesn’t find you, actually. I hope you’re never burdened with determining the correct balance of exclamation points to other punctuation to keep you from coming across as unhinged ever again

As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

Piggy, objectively correct and genuine in his beliefs, holds the conch mid-fight as a symbol of the democracy he has tried to help maintain; the boulder that crushes it and kills him is unaware of how right he is, and the side who released the rock could not care less

How nice to have a meteor to blame things on instead of just *checks notes* unchecked greed
Feeling a little jealous of the dinosaurs lately, tbh. At least they weren’t responsible for their own demise

I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don’t expect I shall return. In fact, I mean not to
I feel thin, sort of stretched, like one person spread over too much job without commensurate compensation
