I'm working on two books.
I'm obsessed with
- Dancing With the Stars (Brandon Armstrong stan for life)
- Cecil B Demented (my comfort movie)
- Fantasy romance
- Cats
- Musicals
- Art, music and dance history

Someone got me hype to watch John Carpenter's Vampires.

Yo, this is the WORST vampire movie, what are we even doing recommending that just because Carpenter's name is on it? Turned it off 20 minutes in and put on Let the Right One In instead.

I just finished On a Clear Day You Can See Block Island. Please direct me as quickly as you can to other similar books, because I have learned recently that family/generational trauma stories will have me gagged the entire time I am reading, and I LOVE it!

I've been trying to get my shit together, and of course, while this is happening, my hours between TWO jobs have been cut to the point where I'm working less than full time across BOTH.

Please consider that MA isn't just giving $$, it's also following people who just need a community behind them.
Julia Garner is a literal actual Nazi, she is not only a Zionist but she works with Chanel, and has admitted this is despite knowing their history. Life comes at ya in five months.

Also, Fantastic 4 was not fantastic. I fell asleep trying to watch it three times, so I gave up. #MarvelSky #FilmSky
Julia Garner is the GOAT, both because of her infamous Ozark meltdown,and because of the Norrin Rad fanboy meltdown over Shalla-Bal. πŸ˜†βœ‹πŸ»πŸ˜­

I almost didn't graduate high school because I *could not* stay awake in my last class of the day. Now, I purposefully keep to a biphasic sleep schedule that includes going to bed around 7, and I feel GREAT in the mornings having to be awake at 5 for my kids.
🎯 This is such a bullshit way to blame SOMEONE ELSE for your inability to self regulate when triggered, or to just say hey, I thought I could handle this right now but I was wrong. Ignoring content warnings and then getting mad about the content isn't just an occurrence in book spaces. #BookSky
I'm gonna be messy over here because this behavior is sickening, and common, and fucking needs to stop.

If someone opens their message with this, and you continue on with the conversation, you don't fucking get to then turn around and say that you were trauma dumped on without consent. 🎯
Hello BlueSky.

The difference between a bookworm and a book dragon.

Book worms are upset if they forget a book and don't have any.

Book dragons are upset when they forget their physical book, even if they have a tablet, kindle and phone to read on too. πŸ˜…πŸ€­

This season of Dancing With the Stars is gonna be LIT! What a fucking messy ass cast, I'm OBSESSED!

Anyone on BlueSky feeling generous? I forgot about my phone bill, and I cannot be without it until I get paid Friday. If you can help, I can pay you back. $60

Are we all still obsessed with Jesus Christ Superstar even though its been a week? No? Just me? Okay. πŸ˜…πŸ€©

Reading diversely isn't hard. It requires work, but it isn't hard work. I have to work to think of a cishet white man I read with any sort of regularity.
Every other day I forget this site exists. Anyway, here is my reading wrap for July.

If you have a 2nd & Charles where you live, please do yourself a favor and check them out! I got "used" copies of Delicious Monsters AND Tender Beasts that are actually brand new, because of deals they make with distributors for bulk quantity they then sell at used prices.

I hope my boss feels goofy as fuck for not just giving me the hours in the first place. Just fired a kid who liked to call off every other weekend, and asked me to cover his hours.

Re-uploading with alt text and a hearty thanks for the reminder why I hate it here. How are you all "progressive" with ZERO fucks to give about how easy it should be to make your important political content accessible?

Hi, hello, yes, this series is my new favorite Alice in Wonderland retelling. In case you needed MORE proof Black women just do everything so so much better than anyone else. This struggle with identity is the most true to the spirit of the original I've read yet.

I thought beefing with Wilson Cruz over performative activism was iconic enough, now I got Brian De Palma's ex wife up my cooch on Threads because I *GASP* insulted Tom Cruise.

I looked her up.

πŸ˜€

What a loon! Being married to Brian De Palma AND Tom Holland is not a flex. πŸ™ƒπŸ€’
A political choice made because of racism. Never EVER forget that we don't have nice things in America because that would mean having to give them to Black and brown people as a matter of law too.
Finished This Savage Song by V. E. Schwab. Started Arch Enemy, the third book in The Looking Glass Wars. About 5% into A Dream So Dark, the second book in the Blade So Black Nightmare-verse, also an Alice In Wonderland retelling. And I'm devouring the second African Immortals book. Whew. πŸ“šπŸ‰
June was a shitty reading month, but all of the books I read were 5✨ reads. Liselle Sambury is one you must read ALL of her back list, she never misses.
