Just finished @markhoppus.bsky.social’s memoir which made me laugh, cry, and feel feelings. If you want to do any of those things, I think you should also read it.

My big win of the weekend was going to the bookstore, and as I was checking out, the employee said “wow, you have some great picks here.”
So I’ll be riding that high for the next few weeks.

Still ruminating on the time I was chatting with my tattoo artist and asked about his weekend plans as I was leaving the shop.
He said, “Stacking firewood.”
I said, “Well…have fun with your wood.”
🤦♀️
I’ve never run out of a place so quickly.

Federal vaccine advisers picked by RFK Jr. voted to effectively remove an ingredient from flu shots, achieving a controversial goal of anti-vaccine activists and illustrating how their priorities are becoming official government guidance.

I want to buy a used typewriter. Important to note that I have never owned a typewriter before. If anyone has any recommendations for buying/where to buy/what to buy, shout ‘em out! I’m an idiot in this space 😅

I’m so sorry, but how have I never heard of this word before today??
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to expand my vocabulary, but… how did I miss this one?!

What are your favorite lyrics from your favorite song? I'll go first:
“Detox just to retox / And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life / And perfect boys with their perfect lives / Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy.”
From Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes by Fall Out Boy.

Officially spending the rest of the summer learning as much as I can about the hybrid publishing industry to prevent more of my author-clients from getting screwed over 🫡

My tip for hot girl summer?
Support your local library!
Get your library card (even if you won’t use it). Go to free programs. Borrow books, movies, and so much more.
This administration wants to make us siloed and uninformed. Your library is the best place to embrace knowledge and community! 🤗

Imagine throwing a huge masturbatory birthday party that nobody came to. Meanwhile, millions of people across the world threw huge events devoted to how much of a piece of garbage you are.
Oh wait.

Yes I do skip that song every time it comes up on my playlist. No I will not take it off of my playlist. It’s my emotional support song and I will be taking no further questions at this time.
