A month in and #Sinners is back on top of the box office, as it should be. If you want to keep the vibes going, here are some books for your TBR. reactormag.com/what-to-read...
I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.
My belated suggestions for WorldCon Panels in Seattle.
-Cannibalism, what is it? How can I monetize it? Does it only occur in fiction?
-An Oral History of Writers Making a Stupid Goldfish Face For Selfies at Cons
-Is Steampunk the Future of Genre Now That Hopepunk Has Gone Down the Drain?
I am begging my fellow librarians to just stop. Stop it. ChatGPT isn't our friend, it is making you worse at your job, and patrons are going to lose faith in us if this doesn't stop.
I’m FINALLY watching KAOS and I am just so devastated that it wasn’t renewed for a second season. This is SO good.
A white hand holds two brown paper bags with plastic windows to see baked goods inside. The top bag says “pretzel nuggets” and the bottom says “focaccia bread”. Both labels have ingredients listed.
One of my coworker pals recently decided to start selling her homemade baked bread goods at farmer’s markets and online for weekly orders! I got my first batch today (she’s been bringing the goods in to work for us sample for a while) and I am just so excited about it and happy to support her!
Every time I see a cybertruck, I think about how the dude that bought it thought he was going to look SO COOL driving it, and instead he is roundly mocked by both drivers of regular trucks and drivers of non-Teslas. And also, apparently, small children

Quick and easy to do. Queer people owe everything to our trans siblings.

I rarely take naps because they are never planned well, but today called for one and I think someone was very pleased with the change in off-day plans.
So overjoyed to share this cover with you all!! I’m so thrilled with beautiful this @marymetzgr.bsky.social art. I hope you all join me on this tragic sapphic adventure through the fens!
Coming Sept 30. Preorders open now.

If you only pick through and read certain sections of a book (specifically nonfiction in this case), would you could that book toward your reading goal? I’m dedicated to my reading log, but I don’t always read nonfiction cover to cover! 😭
So is anyone else canceling the majority of their streaming services and intentionally moving away from them at this point? Or is it just me?
@ashandchess.bsky.social have really great stickers if they’re not already on your radar! Queer & trans owned in NY - not sure if they’re doing any donations at the moment, but they often elevate other queer makers doing great things. (They’re more active on IG, but their website is up to date)
Alright, y’all, I really want to branch out my music listening (and maybe not have the same artist be my top artist every single year) and I’m thinking about trying out a new album each week - listening from beginning to end. Anyone have good recommendations for where to start?
The thing about ChatGPT answers is that if you are already enough of an expert to know if they are correct, you don't need it, and if you aren't enough of an expert to know if they are correct, you shouldn't use it.
I've stayed in a pretty good mood this week by dissociating from reality
Just finished my ARC of The Dark Mirror and let me tell you it’s absolute torture that the book doesn’t release for another month AND THEN we will collectively have to wait another couple of years for book 6 in the series. Devastating.
I was so nervous about training someone way above my pay range on the BASICS of our ILS and then it took less than an hour and they were overly grateful that I took time out of my day to help them. Sometimes it does feel nice to get validation that I’m good at my job.
My therapy appt was canceled today (of all weeks 🥲) so I guess I have more time to read before work?
Alright, it’s time to start over. What’s good, Bluesky? Any other library folk lurking around these parts after leaving the Other Place?
