i too would love for there to be many options of bluesky servers besides this bluesky social media app. but i don't think that's coming any time soon. so it's a horrible shame that bluesky admins don't really seem to want to sustain the actual users they have here with the moderation we deserve.

Alright girls, no more false starts or ADHD distractions, today I am *finally* sitting down for real to read @dirtbagqueer.rocks's debut. I spent most of middle school running around with my dude friends playing pickup football in the park and my front lawn, so this feels written for me 😙

I would love to be one of those people posting weekly updates on how many pages they read of what books but that requires, a) way more tracking than I have the energy for b) me actually reading more than 10 pages of a book in a week

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab. Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls. If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

Hey friends! With the Philly Bookstore Crawl briskly approaching and sponsorship funds not quite cutting it, I’m sharing my lil’ tip jar link. Could use a hand to help order our bookmarks and other printed materials, and pay our brilliant illustrator. ☕️ ko-fi.com/ericsmith

i can’t remember anything that has felt more foisted upon us than AI. repeatedly telling us why we actually need is like thinking a joke will get funnier the more you explain it.

My opinion, which everyone asked for, is that the font in the new Goodreads is cool, but they need a new color scheme to go with it. That font feels so contemporary literary but the color scheme still feels very "dusty library with yellowed pages and crumbling covers"

I hate when you try to reset your password somewhere and a website/app is like "If an account for this email exists, you'll get it shortly!" No! Tell me if I put in the right email! How am I supposed to know if I put in the wrong email or your website just takes like 20mins to send the reset link?!

New hat got delivered at 1pm, and I came home at 9pm to this...
Photo of the aforementioned hat, now chewed up on the visor and where the visor meets the head of the hat. I am holding it up in front of Ruby the Dog, who is looking at it like "Oh shit."

How many words do you think you could write in a 48 hour period at a writing retreat with five friends there to distract you but also sometimes to threaten you to put your phone down and write? #WriterSky #BookSky

Alright, #BookSky, what are you reading rn? Or what book are you about to pick up now that I've reminded you you're in between books and need to start a new one? Personally, I'm about to pick up When Javi Dumped Mari by Mia Sosa, since it's been over a week since finishing The In-Between Bookstore

also a diploma's not a legal document, which is why trans people can get their real names on them even if they haven't legally changed them! (and any school refusing is just being annoying) a transcript on the other hand... that's the legal one 😅

This is mayhaps one of the dumbest things I've said on the internet, but normalize the semicolon 😭 Sometimes I'll go to use it but I end up taking it out because it feels so pretentious and I'm not trying to come off like that lol

I majored in Spanish, so I have the alt codes for all the letters with tildes memorized. What's memorizing one more code for an em dash?

Ben Ace 📚 @blog.aceofbens.com · 07/07/2025
The alt code for em dashes is ALT+0151, by the way. I do, in fact, have it memorized. Plus I set up a text shortcut on my phone so typing "emd" will make an em dash show in the text suggestions above my keyboard Person in the screenshot is simply ignorant of the joys of grammar and punctuation smh

Lol fair. I don't remember the episode number anymore but I think it was somewhere in the single digits where the 09 series diverges from the 03 series, but just from the first couple episodes, I remember it being pretty similar
