thank you for welcoming Lilah & Arthur with open arms and eyes. they’re yours now. <3

bittersweet but congratulations on your new job!!!

i did also start the murderbot books though! adored the voice, i, like murderbot, would rather watch serials all day at work

oooh you make each of these sound so interesting, i just requested them at my library. recently i've enjoyed "the ministry of time" and the broken earth series. other than that i've been reading a decent amount but nothing special, unfortunately 😔

puzzland has been chill. i found a new job and a new apartment, which I'm grateful for. recently i went on a mini staycation with friends and really enjoyed showing ppl my hometown 🥰

Please give me book recs! I'd love to know what your favourite things you've read this year are.

Translating a romance novel????? Going to Italy??? Reading goals met???? That all sounds amazing, I'm so happy for you!

A Unique San Francisco Bay Marine Lab Faces Closure. It Has Days to Raise Millions | KQED San Francisco State University, which operates the Estuary and Ocean Science Center, has said it can no longer afford to keep the doors open, but $10 million could avert its closure.

This just kills me. This facility trains so many of the people who work to restore the health of the SF Bay Estuary. We will need this workforce even more than we do now as sea level rises in coming decades. This place is the seed corn. It cannot be replaced.

Critics Choice nominating Interview with the Vampire and Sam Reid (extremely well-deserved - don’t get me wrong, I am celebrating it) BUT NOT JACOB ANDERSON is beyond comprehension. Jacob was absolutely brilliant in the role. He is the beating heart at the center of this adaptation. Fuck this.

Publishers Association report reveals 'disappointing drop' in ethnic minority representation within industry A report by the Publishers Association (PA) has revealed that "ethnic minority" representation fell by 2% in 2024, with a decline in the numbers of Asian and British Asian staff.

It isn't disappointing. It is by design, so shut your lying faces.

You have the data to know it's a problem.

You have a gazillion think-pieces telling you how to solve it.

You are doing what you chose to do.

Digital illustration of Howl from the animated film Howl’s Moving Castle, except he is a little round bird chick with blueish-black feathers and blue eyes. He is wearing a drop earring with red and green jewels, and a silver ring inlaid with a small red jewel on one of his toes.

What if Howl’s bird form was just a little guy?

taggie from the books you have won me over with your earnest manner and your big cloud of dark hair and your cheerfully anxious housekeeping competence and the way you sob your heart out in your windy leaky turret in your 'they-ought-to-have-divorced' parents new yet unaffordable home
