“Beauty requires perfect stillness and hunger is always movement toward.” - @nghivo.bsky.social I love you and thank you for posting about this book today. I’m utterly enamored.

Seeing Ed Sheeran's own band quitting on him is, I have to say, really doing it for me. Restoring one shred of hope for humanity.

I have a data-entry intense task at work this week and I’m burning through my TBR at record speed. FINALLY getting around to reading @seananmcguire.bsky.social ‘s Overgrowth and I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It’s shocking how unbelievably Seen this plant//alien story makes me feel.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

so it turns out asking someone to accept an award on your behalf is the 21st century equivalent of asking them to be your second in a duel, in that they are risking life and limb for the sake of your honor

if southern gays and fakeass cowboy republicans BOTH like somebody, it doesn't mean she was "neutral." it means she was a hell of a songwriter, and one of those two groups is stupid.

It has been a Long time since I felt magnetically drawn to a book like this one, and I realize she's not Really on Bluesky, but Goodness this one has me by the heart and isn't letting go. @natashapulley.bsky.social has an absolute legend of a book here and I hope it gets all the praise it deserves!

My biggest frustration with writing is that quite often, the SWOOP that takes a book from midlist to BIG DEAL is pure luck, and I personally can't do anything to make it happen. Publishing is not a meritocracy. It's skill + time + luck, and all you can do is be in position for possible liftoff.

My kiddo got this from McDs today and I think it’s a sign that I need to finish @wiswell.bsky.social ‘s new book 🤣 Don’t mind the blur, the 4 year old had some complaints.
A 3 headed yellow kitty and friends toy from McDonald’s being held by a possibly wiggly 4 year old’s hand. The 3 heads of the toy look suspiciously like the 3 headed dragon on the cover of The Dragon Has Some complaints.

Awkward scene to be reading at the dinner table 🍖😅🤣 Loving it so far, @wiswell.bsky.social ☺️
A picture of a Caucasian hand holding a very small handheld ereader over their dinner plate of meat and a potato. The text on the ereader is a scene from John Wiswell’s “The Dragon Has Some Complaints” that vividly details the dragon eating a human. Very vividly.

I can think of little that’s more American than an all-Black tumbling team in a July 4th (5th?) parade having to hurry away because the cops behind them are forcing them along with their lights and sirens blaring (the team did get to do some awesome tricks… it’s just hard not to see the parallels)

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.
