Check out my review of Pour Decisions. It's a funny, punny cocktail recipe book that's the perfect gift for your pal that just dodged a relationship bullet, whether they instigated it or not. #PourDecisions #NetGalley #pjisdoingstuff #PourDecisions #NetGalley #cocktailparty #booksky

Absolutely!! Our organization has lost a lot of funding thanks to the current administration, since we do a lot of equity work. We have a deep commitment to accessibility so if you would ever be interested in being on a tech accessibility committee for nonprofits, do let me know.

This is bananas. We are the furthest thing from war-torn. They are already dispersing illegal gas in the street (my daughter's apartment looks down on the ICE facility and she has seen it. The feds terrify me more than any Portland citizen.

She did our keynote (we're a tech nonprofit www.nten.org) and have an amazing talk on techno-ableism. Everyone I spoke to came away with their minds blown.

She has complained. Everyone in the building and the management company, too. The feds don't give a shit.

You know the horror book is going to be a rocking good time when it starts with a bang. No need for introductions. πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ @casskhaw.bsky.social #booksky #horrorsky #spookyseason #amreading

I completely understand that. If I start spacing out on an audiobook, I often switch to reading. πŸ’–

I saw Ashley speak at an NTEN conference and it was amazing. I got the book immediately after and enjoyed it so much. I've been gifting and lending it ever since.

I would love to hear what it is that they don't like. I'm interested in reading it and reviews are wildly different.

DEFINITELY cult horror. It cuts way too close to home! A Marriage at Sea is edgy, but you know how it ends. You feel the emotions of the couple, both on the boat and after rescue. I have nightmares about Wake Up and Open Your Eyes. Thanks to @claymcleod.bsky.social πŸ˜±πŸ–€πŸ˜± It's a terrifying masterpiece.

I loved Katabasis, but it seems to be a love it or hate it situation.

I just finished Katabasis. I LOVED it, but it seems to be polarizing. What do you think?

My daughter's apartment looks down on the entrance to the facility. She has been exposed to the mysterious green gas. It's frightening. Thank you for bringing all of this to light.

Hey #booksky I have been trying to mix in some new fiction genres this year to varying success. Thanks to @willowtalksbooks.bsky.social I have decided to dip into romantasy with The Knight and The Moth by #rachelgillig. Tell me what you think about romantasy: youtu.be/V_egJWc0J48?...
