I always thought my soul cat would be a black cat or tortie but it turns out it's this little white floof who sleeps like this.
A white cat lies in a loaf position with its face pressed down into the white blanket it is on. A white cat lies in a loaf position with its face pressed down into the white blanket it is on.

When I have to work but have almost nothing to do today and would rather be trying to survive and escape a shady research facility (and dying with increasingly ridiculous descriptions) or being a cozy little hobbit.🥲

Two books I wish I had in high school.
Both are YA bi awakening stories. Even though I didn't have these as a teen I'm so happy to live in a time they exist for other baby sapphics.

I missed posting for Christmas in July because life has been kicking my ass since June but since being a Christmas bauble makes me happy I'm gonna share it now anyway.

A woman sits in an aerial hoop wearing a red outfit. She has red and green striped socks on. She's wrapped in multi-colored Christmas lights and the lyra is wrapped in silver garland.

If I could get people to read nonfiction books, Medical Bondage and Medical Apartheid are two at the top of my list.
Given what just happened to Adriana Smith knowing this history is more important than ever.

I am actually using a bookmark instead of whatever random piece of paper, business card, or receipt I happen to find closest to me. Everyone please clap.
Also, my library came in clutch with this physical copy because I was 17th in line on Libby!

Caitlin Starling writing queer sci fi horror can do no wrong.

The best way I can think to describe this book is erotica for adults who used to be Post Secret teenagers.

This was an entire sequence just because I wanted to do the twisty alien split variation thing.

Risking dislocating my wrist and fingers to yell about this duology for AANHPI month and kick off Pride Month.
This is fantasy sci fi universe is set in 1920s Shanghai and uses Romeo and Juliet as inspiration.
There's demi, aroace, bi, and trans rep.

I saw someone once refer to The Gearbreakers duology as Pacific Rim but very gay and I've never seen Pacific Rim but that seems legit.
This is sapphic, has mechs, a rebel group fighting back against an oppressive power, found family, and complicated sisters.

#Booksky 📚💙 #SciFiBooks 📚🪐 #AANHPIMonth
A left hand holds Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta I'm front of a case of books. The case shows two dark haired girls standing in the foreground with the profile of a mech head in the background. The one girl has curly hair and is standing with her back to the reader and is holding a kitana in her right hand with the blade resting on her shoulder. She is missing an eye. The other girl is crouching with her back to the reader and looking over her shoulder. She's wearing goggles.

WHY did no one tell me Hoopla has all the Life is Strange comics so I didn't need to sit around waiting and hoping one of my libraries would add the Max/Chloe ones to Libby?

I can't believe the current state of the US has me considering going back into healthcare because it's in demand elsewhere.🫠

The appeal of special editions has kind of worn out for me (I tried some of the subscription boxes and a majority of what was sent got put in little free libraries) but I had to grab these pretty editions of books some of my fav. Ghibli movies drew inspiration from.🥲

A left hand holds a special edition of Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono. It shows a girl wearing a dress and riding a broom with her black cat over water. The dust jacket has a daytime view and the hardcover design is of the nighttime. A left hand holds Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. The dust jacket shows a castle among clouds with a man and woman in the foreground looking towards it. The hard cover is a peach color with a light blue foil castle silhouette.
