I talked a bit about this on Threads too but it needs to be talked about
There's a privilege in being able to physically be with the one you love, and way too many people take it for granted. And that is why it's so important to fight for the right to love whoever and wherever
I think it's much better to be honest about why you dislike it, especially if it is an ARC. A 1 star for some is a 5 star for others
Though, I personally tried to focus on the "good parts" (no matter how small) when I give my "mid" reviews. Though that's usually very difficult π
Ive low-key been thinking of doing book videos where I use a 3D model as a stand in for myself (not a VTuber but like reaction pics) for the days I just can't be on camera
Thank you to Page Street YA for an ARC of Camila NuΓ±ezβs Year of Disasters!
A queer YA romance about a Cuban-American teen, featuring anxiety rep, parental conflicts, positive fat rep, and early teen romance!
Iβm super excited to read this one- it comes out March 18, 2025

Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.
I think I'm brewing on a cold. Thankfully I managed to get my air freshener to function properly because I can't stand the smell of sickness π₯²
Mine has learned to say "mama" and other quick toddler-like phrases and let me tell you it's wild to wake up at 4 am to "mama, food!" ("Mama, mat!")
I love him so much

Heyyy I did a thing! Some of my mutuals from that clock app, some of my favorite authors, and some amazing readers that Iβve connected with on here.
This is the first time in about 2 years that I've coloured my eyebrows and now I remember why I didn't-
I have to function for 30 min without my glasses π₯²
My little doom scrolling had me going "why did I stop going on TT again?"
And then the app glitched the way it usually does which reminded me all over again why I stopped using it π₯²
I felt like doom scrolling TikTok a bit this morning and here's my thoughts:
Content on TT is generally more my preference, comments are worse
IG is all over the place but is nice for discovering new stuff
TT gave me some inspiration/energy to make long form content again
Dragon cane for the dragon queen!! π
To those unfollowing since I began my book spotlight series for Black History Monthβ¦βοΈ

Anyone doubting that the puritanical wave has already stated in online book communities.
Heads up fellow Aro/Ace folks who complain about having sex and romance in media, these people are not our allies.
This is thinly veiled Christofascist CompHet.
Substack is going to be where I get personal and messy and share more of my life, more separated from my work. Weβre gonna talk books, sure. But weβll also talk politics, life, deconstruction, chronic pain, spirituality, race and whatever else I want to shout about. Follow along or donβt. π€·π½ββοΈ
Technically, yes. It might be very hard logistically but it should be doable
Day Five of reminding you that Black voices in publishing MATTER. Especially now. And you can help amplify mine by supporting my publishing imprint (where we focus solely on Black and brown authors) for $5 or $12.

If you read Black books (which you better) here are some must follow accounts! #blackhistorymonth
Solidarity is not transactional.
If you're supporting someone's human rights only out of the expectation they'll do the same, you don't understand solidarity.
Everyone deserves human rights. Everyone, everywhere.
And no one is free until we all have them.
Day Four of me asking you to help us open doors for Black and brown authors by subscribing to my publishing imprint for $5 or $12 a month.
For less than a fast food trip, you can be a part of a community that is actively fighting for change. Come be a part. β€οΈβ€οΈβπΎ

Something Iβve realized about making content on social media especially book content, is that youβre never going to please everyone, that you just put what you can out there and people are either going to love it or hate but you canβt take their opinion personally
Y'all, I feel like this list hasn't found the right side of #booksky yet because how are there only 35 people on it?!?! π€―
