I read a LOT of #Webtoons, and I think they don't get enough love in reading spaces. So here are just a few of my favorites!
Disclaimer: I'm not caught up on Moonchild yet, and whil it's giving some ✨queer✨ vibes amongst the horror, I'm not sure and have left the sticker off for now. #booksky

Read #Latinx authors! Read #trans authors! Read #queer authors! My current read is The Sunbearer Trials by @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social and I can't get it out of my head. Absolutely amazing. #booksky

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

On the note of being on the ace spectrum in bookish spaces, please drop your favorite books with ace rep here! I just finished Don't Let the Forest In by @paperfury.bsky.social , and it was so beautifully disturbing that I'm hungry for more. Do check the trigger warnings first! #booksky #ace #acerep

Why is it so hard to make bookish friends when you're 1) a critical thinker about most of your reading & 2) on the ACE spectrum & surrounded by people who only read smut? And why do these things seem to make me a bad person to my friends? I don't judge smut readers, why are they judging me? #booksky

Snippet from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, originally published in 1953. Written before that even, & published as short stories as "It Was A Pleasure To Burn."
I implore you to read this section at least.

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.

Lemme reiterate: I do NOT tolerate toxic positivity.
DNF’d a book? Gimme deets!
Hated a book? Tell me!
Wrote a scathing review? Link it!
Posting negative content is not “being mean.” It means you’re thinking critically & recognizing harmful content (& sometimes just plain, shitty writing).
