sooooo w/r/t that thing where the hero leaves their partner for the partner's own good...

*climbs to the top of a mountain*

*switches on megaphone*

MARGARET OWEN'S LITTLE THIEVES SERIES IS SO SMART AND NUANCED IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR THE REST OF YOU.

ESPECIALLY ALL THE SPIDERMANS

if you need a read to ground you & fill you with energy & joy rn, kirkus is absolutely right about this lesbian historical—one of the best of all time, imo. Malinda Lo broke ground w gay girl YA, and this is my very favorite of hers
Insert meme of the dog with the world burning but also, my book Last Night at the Telegraph Club (which Kirkus thinks is one of the best 100 YA books of this century!) is on sale for $2.99 at all US ebook retailers including Bookshop.org! They have ebooks now! bookshop.org/p/books/last...

Can't wait to fly next month, I expect to just be shoved headfirst into a Cybertruck trunk and then trebucheted about 1000 yards into a ravine, where everything explodes
Thoughts and prayers to anyone getting on a plane in the U.S. right now.

Yes, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. But did he face it? Did he stare into the inky abyss and vow to destroy that horrible mocking doppelgänger lest it devour him and indeed all that is decent in the cosmos? C’mon, weather news, get us the full story

Love that our news-monitoring anxiety options are:

a) take little sips of poison all day long, try to shake it off between doses

b) wait to chug a gallon of the stuff until end of day or in the morning

c) ignore it entirely and be surprised when Trump-branded tanks roll down your street oh no

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.
