I scrolled to the end of my TikTok fyp and this was the last one that would load…

American spelling is different from British spelling because Noah Webster (writer of the Webster Dictionary in 1828) wanted to not only to symbolize independence but also attempt to raise literacy rates by creating phonetic spellings rather than traditional ones (Color vs colour)

For those of you in or near LA I highly recommend downloading Watch Duty.

There is also a website called Broadcastify where you can listen to the fire department radio - they’re stating several addresses they are working on/headed to as well as flare ups

I have a literature degree and adore classic literature, I even analyze books for fun. I also have read a single scholastic book so many times the cover is falling off and I can quote it from memory.

Just bc you can read a grown up book doesn't mean you cant also read ones you just simply enjoy

What are some of your favorite books within either the action, spy, and/or mystery genres?

My dad’s been getting really into them and I want to get him a few for Christmas!

Spending my slightly rainy evening with a reading in the bath with some wine. Sometimes being an adult isn’t so bad. Maybe I’ll get some takeout after who knows

So tempted to re read a series of unfortunate events 🫣

Listening to an audio book while following along with the physical book reminds me of being a kid in school during assigned reading time and I love it sm

Reminder to those who didn’t meet their reading goals this year:

It’s not about how much you read but how much you enjoy reading.

If you read even a single book that you loved, you’re a reader.

Life’s too short to make something enjoyable into a competition

I love when I tell someone I have an English degree and they go “yeah you give off that vibe”

Little me is screaming. I have achieved ✨the look✨

Reposting because of how important it is for us all to read it especially with so much misinformation being circulated rn.

It’s short, concise, and very clear headed. This is not the writing of someone irrational or delusional. This is truly how US healthcare is right now.

This happened to me while I was in college. I read so much for my degree the last thing I wanted to do was read in my spare time. Once I graduated I started exploring genres I didn’t read much of before. It took a bit and I dnf a lot but eventually I found one that hooked me again!

This genuinely keeps me up at night I would pay so much money to know what my professor thought seeing that 💀😭

If it makes you feel any better my current WIP is literally just 'book'

so at least you have something to work off of lmaooo

I have so many ideas on how to make the perfect book tracking site and no ability to execute it im going to scream

#booksky 📚💙

I just wrote a full outline for a story that's been floating around in my head for a year... I need to do this more often

One of my biggest regrets was taking all my electives in classical and ancient literature. I should have spent my time taking things like squirrel biology (yes thats a real class) and the impact of harry potter on the modern reader. I hated college by the end bc i was so so tired of deep analysis

A little advice for English majors as someone with an English degree: take the fun classes. Take your intro to modern fantasy and creative writing. Not everything needs to be deeply intellectual, burn out is real and those classes can make a world of difference

my dad took me to the book store to get a gift for my mom and let me get one book that he paid for so I picked up A Discovery of Witches

will this be my first official book review? We shall see #booksky 💙📚

Sertraline and a long book/tv series to completely consume your daily life

going back home to my childhood bedroom to write bc ever since i moved out i have absolutely no motivation and i need SOMETHING 😭 #writersky

Friendly reminder to my costal CA residents/tourists: earthquakes and tsunami warnings can be very serious. Please do not go into or near the water. Even if the waves don’t look too bad that can change quickly

Current advice in the Bay Area is to be at least 100 feet above sea level

Look for data entry jobs! It’s a bit tedious but it’s usually wfh on your own hours and pays well depending on the company

This is lw why I hate publicly tracking books, it makes seem like a competition to some ppl. 600 books would be over a book and a half a day. Unless you’re counting children’s picture books, that’s incredibly unlikely even if you’re listening to audiobooks on 2x speed

Not bookish but this is the only acc my bf doesn’t see

do any PC gamers have headset recommendations(with a mic)? My bfs are falling apart and I want to get him new ones but idk what I’m looking for 😭 #gamesky #videogames

This was such a hard habit to break, especially since I had a mean shopping addiction. I was so lucky to have a refill store near me that was much cheaper than buying new so I just kept reusing and refilling things like cleaning supplies but I’m still struggling with the trinket buying a bit lmaoo

Not necessarily a murder mystery but I’ve been listening to the podcast Another Not Guilty. Defense attorneys talk about cases that their clients got a not guilty verdict. They’re not always great people but it’s a cool insight into the legal system especially for criminal defense

I just finished this series a few months ago! It was so good I really wish I could read it for the first time again
