Anyone else doing a Tackle Your TBR challenge this year? I started the year with 233 books on my physical TBR (I know). I've bought 12 books so far this year. And of those 245 books, I've already tackled 66, which is CRAZY!!!
What are your TBRs/goals looking like this year?

You know what's more exhausting than writing the book or fighting to be creative?
The burnout that comes with not doing what you love.
Fight for your art and just do the damn thing. ✍️

An image of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere meme. A man in a 1700s red coat and riding outfit rides a brown horse and holds a lantern. He is shouting. In the distance a man runs from his home.
Disney backed out of its OpenAI Deal! Sora is shutting down! AI's bubble is gonna burst!
Nothing quite as satisfying as finding a book you've been searching for at the library used bookstore for just $1 🙂↕️ #booksky 📚💙
There's some sort of hope in the air this year. Not sure if it's the warm weather talking, but I think change might be on the horizon.
Too many books?
What’s next?
Too many hopes?
Too many dreams?
Me: I love books. I will never stop buying them. I will die buried beneath them like a cairn.
Me while packing: whose shitass idea was this?
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Screenshot of an X post by Kyle Cushman quoting Hilary Knight speaking about championing women’s achievements and saying it is not her responsibility to explain someone else’s behavior. The embedded image shows a press conference panel with four women seated behind microphones and nameplates, with a backdrop displaying sponsor logos including Discover and “Torrent.”
I am really tired of grown ass men needing “teaching” moments. If you can sign a multi-million dollar contract, I think I should be able to assume you know not to laugh at women or party with people accused of heinous crimes. This seems like a really low bar that doesn’t need to be taught yet again.

My favorite fiction book of the year (so far) releases today! Weavingshaw is an excellent dark fantasy, and the first in a trilogy. Cannot recommend this one enough! 📚💙
If you don't like Alysa Liu, I don't like you.
New writing ideas plague me
Finally got into the writing flow for the first time in months! Now to finish that next draft 🥳
📚💙
At this point, just rename the DOJ the DOCP (Department of Criminal Protection).
I'm begging someone going to Love Y'all Bookfest to go purchase some items from Bookish Animator for me. 😭 I'll pay you for them + shipping! I just want some cutie stickers and a First Time Caller print. DM me if you can/would! #booksky 💙📚
halftime show
what a shot
Bad Bunny absolutely KILLED it. Holy shit, what a performance.
I can guarantee you I will NEVER pick up an AI-generated book or a book written by an author who endorses genAI. The AI industry is not welcome in book spaces. Never will be. A machine can't write the human experience. #booksky 💙📚
Good call!
Impossible Challenge
I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.
If you decorate it, you absolutely have to show it off!
Even Though I Knew The Ending - super short Lesbian Noir about deals with the devil and curses!
Watching JD Vance's face fall as he was booed at the Olympics was a priceless treasure.
It's beyond disturbing. I applied to the same institution about 5 years ago and never encountered this through the interview process. Knowing this, I would have 100% been fired from my position.
Living in the south right now means my husband is ghosting employers after they ask him to fill out questions about why he supports Dems, LGBTQs, and Pro-Choice ideas 🫠🫠🫠 he just needs a job man. Not immoral ideological systems.
