Obligatory, and with apologies: if you have any LGBTs in your life who like recreationally exacerbating their anxiety disorder, they may enjoy this book as a weird gift for the holidays ❤️ bookshop.org/p/books/thes...

When I said I was going to get a lot done today, I was a person who had no idea my shirt was going to feel so weird

I wonder if it is possible for me to make dinner and leave my house at 6:30 for extra dance time before class… (no) (i am dancing friday and saturday probably so i shouldn’t anyway)

I think that I have been so conditioned by that other site to be cynical that I am incapable of being sincere and benevolent enough for this site

it’s kind of a relief to know that they didn’t really smoke all those cigarettes on mad men but then you read about how the herbal ones they used instead tasted like “pot and soap” (jon hamm), it feels like maybe original is almost better

I love when my boyfriend calls to me from the kitchen “is this done” about a food that he is cooking and I cannot see from here

I have been struggling to find motivation to read, but the book that made perhaps the biggest difference in making me want to sit and read is @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social ‘s CHEF’S KISS. it’s funny and charming and I love it!!

april @aprilreads414.bsky.social · 31/01/2024

I will talk about it much more in the 2.5 months before it comes out, but THE PROSPECTS by KT Hoffman is an upcoming queer/trans romance novel (out April 9) and it is excellent—sexy while also sweet and filled with heart and trans joy and also baseball (if you're into that)

A friendly reminder to any and all school districts that you can ask a local bookstore to maybe host your book fair. It doesn't have to be Scholastic. There may be other options beyond the default. Credit: Maggie Tokuda-Hall from an upcoming (Friday!) Podcast episode.

i think this is objectively one of the funniest things phoebe has said in an interview

a screenshot of an interview quote where phoebe bridgers said "As someone who doesn't qualify as gay, I can't participate in this conversation. I haven't sent in enough chips to corporate. [Laughs]"

Gonna say something here that I would never have said on the Ex-Bird App but: Don't buy books from Amazon please. This is not a moral exhortation but advice for you, as a reader. They manage to screw up every stage of the book-selling process in original and maddening ways.

Honestly kinda offensive when deep feelings of despair just go away with a snack and a glass of water like I’m 5 years old
