I can finally embed Bluesky posts in Intergalatic Mixtape after Buttondown did some coding magic on their side. I'm about to be unbearable and share so many of your jokes. :D

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

I suddenly ended up 5+ chapters deep in three books, which hasn't happened in a minute. People who can do this regularly are wizards.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

I finished reading the @kateelliottsff.bsky.social duology The Witch Roads / The Nameless Land, and if you've been sleeping on those books, put them on your TBR immediately.

SO. GOOD.

Reading @kateelliottsff.bsky.social's Witch Roads and enjoying it so much. Worldbuilding! Determined middle aged women! Seductive dragons in human form (sort of, it's complicated). Creepy mushrooms!

Amazing list from Renay! Some of mine:

The Spear Cuts Through Water
Saint of Bright Doors
Planetfall
Ancillary Justice
The Steerswoman
The Fifth Season
The Bone Orchard
While reorganizing my bookshelves, I somehow found the strength to not open books and start reading them, but I compromised by making a list of the ones I wish I could read again for the first time!

We finished Severance S2 last night. It's a delightfully weird show. The fact that there's no solid news about the next season makes me desperately miss the old style of long seasons and predictable fall/spring releases. I want to go back.

An initial list of books I would love to wipe from my brain for a reread:

- Warchild
- The Light Brigade
- The Goblin Emperor
- Driving the Deep
- The Raven Tower*
- A Master of Djinn

* I rec this one the most to strangers I have only just met
