Hi. If you're speaking out against ice in defense of immigrants & PoC but you're not speaking up for the trans community, you're missing an entire gen0cΒ‘de
Does it only matter to you bc ice is doing it so incredibly publicly that you can't miss it but the trans gen0cΒ‘de is quiet & "more ignorable"?
Book cover for Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron. The cover mostly shows a young woman in armor, holding out a vibrant green apple that is leaking green liquid on the bottom. The background is a nighttime, snowy scene
Sleep Like Death was a great read
This book is a Snow White retelling, and while it hits every major plot point of the Snow White story we all know, Kalynn Bayron puts her own fresh spin on each one, making it feel like its own, special story
It was beautiful

I've heard such amazing things about the audiobooks. And enjoy! I'm lowkey jealous that you're going through them for the first time. I finished today and I'm already jealous of that haha
Just finished reading the 7th Dungeon Crawler Carl book and I am obsessed
What an amazing series. Hilarious. So much heart. Deep, important themes. Fantastic characters and growth. Creative, fun, entertaining as hell
Part of my personality now lol

To the "that's illegal!" crowd:
We know
THEY know
They don't care
And since no one is enforcing the laws when it comes to them, court orders (and the law) mean nothing
Stop pointing it out. Stop getting shocked. That's not helping
Move past that and start focusing on what YOU can do

Not everything is done to distract from the files! THEY HAVE A PLAN. IT'S CALLED PROJECT 2025. WE'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS NOW. They're following the pre-laid plan. These things aren't done on a whim to distract. They're following a year's old plan & dismissing things as "just a distraction" is dangerous
This is exactly what we've been saying was going to happen. And it's going to happen more and more, and then on a larger and larger scale, because these are concentration camps and we are a nazi-like, facist country
I'm 13% into book 6 right now and LOVING the series
Collage of 6 book covers. From top left top to right, we have Oathbound by Tracy Deonn, A Thousand Pieces Of You by Claudia Gray, and Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton. From bottom left to bottom right, we have Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan, His Face Is The Sun by Michelle Jabès Corpora, and Sunrise On The Reaping by Suzanne Collins
Collage of 2 book covers. On the left we have Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. On the right we have The Things Gods Break by Abigail Owen
Of the 75 books I read this year, here are my #top6books + 2 special mentions
So many great books this year
The only reason DCC is on the SM list & not top 6: I'm only 4 books in & don't feel right giving it top 6 while I have 3 more books to read. But I'm OBSESSED
#booksky #bookskyππ #top6reads
Book cover for The Things Gods Break by Abigail Owen. Mostly in orange, it shows two crossed weapons that remind me of beetles
Finished The Things Gods Break today and loved it
Great, interesting sequel to The Games Gods Play
I couldn't put this down
The wait for book 3 begins
Ugh I'm going to be thinking about this for a while and I have so many theories

My husband and I dressed up as Bob and Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers. I have my arms around my Bob
My husband and I dressed up as Bob and Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers. I have my hand on his shoulder
Me dressed up as Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers. I'm doing Linda's "alright!" pose
My husband dressed up as Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers. He's holding a spatula and his pinching the bridge of his nose with the other hand. Think of Boh saying "oh my god"
Happy Halloween from The Belchers! ππ¦ππ
"Alright!"
"Oh my god"

Book cover for The Halloween Moon by Joseph Fink. The cover is split in two, like a reflection of a house over water. The top half shows a giant, orange moon with stars and some clouds. There's a house with a little upper window that shows a person's shadow. A tree sits on either side of the house. The lower half, upside down, shows a distorted version of this house
The Halloween Moon was a fun, spoopy, cute, quick MG book, perfect for October!
Good messages, good characters, fun adventurous plot, and all the Halloween you could want!

RFK: "children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism"
Which is why almost all amab jews are autistic, and why most afab jews aren't
(I say sarcastically, in case you somehow thought I was being serious)
Jews, who circumcise all amab babies*, don't have a higher autism rate than other cultures
Not that his "circumcision leads to autism cuz tylenol" theory has any merit, but this claim is very proveably false π
*there's a growing movement in Jewish communities that are moving away from circumcision
As the leaves change and start to fall, be careful jumping into piles of leaves or tossing them in the air over your head. Ticks love fallen leaves. πππ

Being a leftist is frequently fighting the urge to say "I told you so" every time something political happens
This isn't (just) about the files. These moves further both his authoritarian takeover and Project 2025, with the added bonus distracting. Saying every move they make is "just an attempt to distract from the files" is a gross underestimation of them, their goals, and their moves
I love all of them a lot tbh but Aisha's arc has been my favorite, I think. They've all come a long way, but I think she's grown the most. And in, uh, unexpected ways (iykyk, not a spoiler if you don't)
Oh gosh, I don't know! That none of them die? Lol
Book cover for The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah. The background of the cover is a white Islamic geometric pattern. In the center, between the title and author, is a golden compass with a palace, a person on a horse on a sand dune, a hooded, cloaked figure, and a lamp in its center. Red and orange fire, which appears almost like ink in water, splashes across the cover in a horizontal line, under and around the compass. Across the very top, it says ""A THRILLING ADVENTURE ABOUT FOUND FAMILIES, ANCIENT MAGIC, AND STORIES THAT LINGER." S. A. CHAKRABORTY, AUTHOR OF THE CITY OF BRASS"
Just finished both The Stardust Thief and sequel The Ashfire King
This series is quite the adventure. SO MUCH happens! It's truly a journey, in the best of ways
Great characters, great world building, great story
Cannot wait for book 3

I don't need the ortho to treat my lyme. But they SHOULD know how my lyme affects my joints
Is my injured knee/ankle the lyme congregating there and causing damage?
Or are they injured in a way unrelated to my lyme?
Because it CAN be the former (but is imo probably the latter)
I have been actively fighting for 9.5 years. It's both an active and a chronic infection for me by now (unless you clear lyme IMMEDIATELY after exposure, it'll most likely go chronic)
I need an ortho for knee/ankle injuries. But a doctor who doesn't know lyme can't always see or treat me properly
It's ABSURD that most orthopedic drs don't know lyme
An illness FAMOUS FOR AFFECTING JOINTS
Lyme makes you & your dr think you need a knee replacement, but lyme treatment makes those symptoms vanish entirely. No surgery needed
And most orthos don't know lyme at all?!
#LymeDisease #disabilitysky
I have an injured knee & ankle. Trying to make an appt w/ an ortho
Don't have health insurance
"Appointments w/o insurance are $410, but if the clinic happens to reside in a hospital, it's an additional $1,500"
EXCUSE ME?!
Enjoy extra proof that the #USHealthcare system is evil
#disabilitysky
Lolol never
I'd be thrilled to get to see you more
And half the time they're not even fucking helpful
Just #ChronicIllnessThings - getting sick of seeing doctors
Not wanting to go see any doctor for any new reason
Getting injured & not wanting to see a doctor because your whole life is already doctors & you're just sick of it
Brought to you by my injured knee and ankle (dif legs π) #disabilitysky
Book cover for A Thousand Pieces Of You by Claudia Gray. Starting with a white background, the cover looks to be a watercolor painting with splashes around the edges. The top half shows the London city shape in blues ans greys. The bottom half shows a Russian city, in pinks and purples and oranges, with some green and white
It may be an older series, but I just finished The Firebird Trilogy (A Thousand Pieces Of You) for the first time and I absolutely loved it
It's a very fun, exciting, YA, multiverse traveling adventure
I'm going to miss these characters and this world so much

Ah yes, the American SS. Or ASS, if you will
(Credit for this joke goes to my friend)
Yes yes yes yes YES!
