If you’re afraid to write your book because you think its content stands no chance in the coming climate, Remember that banned books (and books victims thought the world would never see) are the only honest window we have into some of the darkest moments of history. Write the book. #booksky

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

I'm spending the rest of the day writing a fanfic about Vine and TikTok boinking each other in every single way.

All right #booksky I think I’m staying here a while. Some things about me:

🩡 The Sun is Also a Star is my fav book
🩡 Fantasy romance junkie
🩡 Not huge on contemporary, but do sometimes
🩡 Books are political
🩡 Audiobooks count
🩡 Cozy Switch gamer
🩡 I have a golden named Mr. Rogers (Fred for short)

I am so tired and angry. Ugh.

Thinking about kicking it here and YouTube. I’m sad because I had big plans to get my booktok page going this year, but now I don’t even want to open it. I think I’m going to try YouTube and see how it goes πŸ˜•

Well my TikTok is back up, but now I feel dirty using it. No thanks.

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

My introduction to #booksky I guess?

πŸ“š Reading is political
🎧 Audiobooks count as reading
πŸ“– Reading is not a competition
πŸ€” Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive
πŸ‘‰ If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it
🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off

Also very interesting to me that right before it went dark (we’re talking 20 minutes before) I had TWO Facebook and Instagram ads pop up on my FYP for the first time ever. #tiktokban

might be good to remember that banning TikTok was Trump's idea in the first place

I’m one of the 216% that downloaded Duolingo to learn Mandarin in the last couple days, so I’m all in on this I guess. Lmao.

The content coming out of TikTok right now is absolutely unhinged.

I just watched Jack of Jack in the Box pack his bags for RedNote, Drumstick said they’re moving to China, Arizona Tea claimed they’ve been Chinese spies this whole time, and Sony Pictures posted this clip. All in one scroll sesh.
