🪐📚 📚💙 A Winter of Fish and Favor, by E.M. Epps features a brilliant, unapologetically loud and gregarious, magically talented heroine solving a triple murder, while navigating family politics and some absolutely sparkling romantic banter with the owner of a local casino, a prime suspect. SO good!

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Always repost cheesecake boat

Elle @elleisanisland.bsky.social · Sep 12

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

🪐📚 📚💙 Good Mourning, Darling, by Azalea Crowley was delightful and hard to categorize! An odd little dark-but-cozy romantic fantasy with some horror, some spice, and a touch of humor. I loved the concept, the autism representation, and the characters!

Good Mourning, Darling, by Azalea Crowley. Cover shows a black-haired woman and a brown-haired man in a suit smiling, nose-to-nose. Behind the woman is a shadowy figure with a creepy, toothy grin.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

Can confirm. Husband was the Warhammer fan -- I insisted I would never, because why? And then I made Heinrix stutter.
Gah. 😂

The Warrant of Trade from Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader (2023) but instead of a load of small text it just says "I can do what I want."

🪐📚 📚💙 The Crimson Fire, by Abel Montero. A big ol’ chonky epic fantasy, with a slow-burn plot, four POV characters, gods that some worship, some fear, and some plot to overthrow -- and a society on the brink of change. SO compelling -- a book you can really sink your teeth into!

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

🪐📚 📚💙 What Comes of Attending the Commoners Ball, by Elisabeth Aimee Brown, was a completely adorable fairy tale. Hester invites herself to the Ball so she can stock up on food and ends up meeting two very different princes. What follows is a sweet Cinderella homage with a touch of fae magic.

What Comes of Attending the Commoners Ball, by Elisabeth Aimee Brown. Cover shows a castle in silhouette, with a coach, a pig. a boot, and huge streetlights.
