RIP to the magnificent Tom Lehrer, one of the funniest people to ever exist.

Tom Lehrer made all of his music 100% public domain so if seeing people sad about his death makes you want to check them out… it’s free. he wanted you to share them.

One of the most healing hobbies I've developed is watching people listen to Gethsemane by Sleep Token for the first time and break down because SO many of us have been in the same toxic relationship with a narcissist (who is likely out there still telling people about their 'crazy' ex) #sleeptoken

The cover was the sole reason I read it; it was in my "suggested reads" on Everand! Kudos to the artist/designer. Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover :)

4 stars- conversational writing style might not be for everyone but found it funny and light despite the plot. Likeable characters, a sweet romance, and an interesting twist on a dark time in history. If you crave accuracy, stay away. If you want fun, a great little book #book #booksky #read

Cover of the novel The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling. A nun with screaming medieval children in place of her face, and she is holding a bee box frame.

3.5 stars - the beginning is incredible, the concept fascinating, the setting engrossing. Things get complicated when more characters are explored, could have used focus. Weird, creative, but the end is a jumble. Love the ominous "saints", though, huge points for atmosphere. #book #booktok #reading

3 stars. A book intending to parody American Psycho still falls victim to its tropes. Funny, wild and disgusting but tries HARD to be those things. All the "I'm not like other girls" unravels a bit when it goes Romeo and Juliet but entertaining for what it is. #booksky #books #reading #novel

Me

a character sheet of a person in several poses. the character wears a slim black suit and white shirt. they are blonde, androgynous, and wear a distinctive split-faced mask that reveals a skull within. they brandish a machete and are sometimes covered in blood.

My friends and I play a LOT of tabletop RPGs so I have many I love but I feel like Echo (a serial killer-turned-town sheriff with a psychic talking mask named Adam) and Polvo (a sentient octopus art forger/gambler) probably are the most unique and are my favorites to talk about 💕

Here is the only review I jotted in my Notes app from my week of watching movies: "Oscar Isaac is the most beautiful man ever sculpted by the sensual hands of Mother Nature and we are not worthy to look upon such a visage with our feeble blurry human eyes". #movies #oscarisaac #whatever #stillsick

WHY AM I SICK AGAIN!? WHAT GOD HAVE I ANGERED?? SATAN JUST LET MY SINUSES OUT OF YOUR ALMIGHTY GRASP GOD DAMMIT IVE WATCHED 16 MOVIES THIS WEEK AND I AM FUCKING STRUGGLING😭😭😭😭😭😭 #politics #books #art #music #world #pleasesomeonehelpmyimmunesystem #girlinthebubble #autoimmunehell

Yessssss well deserved!! 💖💕

Book cover for Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. An astronaut appears to be falling into darkness held by a tether that disappears outside the frame.

5 stars. Everyone was right on this one- it is clever, charming, funny, often tense and deeply memorable. Reads fast and has an addictive style. The science/science fiction is presented clearly. The characters are adorable, so brave and silly and lovely. Read it. #booktok #books #scifi #reading

Hitting maximum "me" energy today- sitting in bed silently crying at the new Sleep Token songs while reading an article about art noveau 😅 In another life I am a VERY dramatic art history professor #sleeptoken #music #arthistory #aesthetics

Love a purple tiefling, oof he handsome 👀💕 I had one of these in a recent game ^_^no one could pronounce her name so I had to spell it phonetically 😅

Found a wonderfully spooky sketchbook and hopefully I will do more than one drawing in it before it joins the 50 other unfinished sketchbooks I own. #artsky #drawing #illustration #sketchbook #art #fish

I've once again crashed and burned energy-wise and can not muster up the wherewithal to do ANY creative projects or finish a book or clean my bedroom so yeah, TGIF I guess?

Digital illustration of a pretty young woman with mint green hair piled in a messy bun dotted with flowers. Her brows match her hair color. She is wearing round gold glasses with a dangling gold beaded chain and has multiple small gold facial and ear piercings. Her shirt is purple.

My partner's ~6 year old niece wanted to see my art so I showed her this drawing of a DnD character of mine (Gaia) and she said she's beautiful, then asked a bunch of questions about her. Very nearly made my endlessly art-blocked self cry 🥺😭💕 #art #artsky #illustration #drawing #characterdesign

Cover of Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss showing a delicate green etching of flowers and insects shaped to resemble a skull

3.5 - Been burned out, found a short one to jump back in. Oddly written but it adds to the uneasy feeling. Much more an examination of abuse, power, and gender than horror. Tragic, painful, with a soft subtle romance woven in. A predictable but still upsetting ending. ♡Molly♡ #booksky #books

Lost sight of a house centipede behind a bookcase so goodbye cruel world

Photo of bands Ninja Sex Party and TWRP in Montclair NJ, with the crowd behind them.

Blurry zoom in of a girl in all black on the crowd shot of the previous photo (that's me!)

Photo of Poppy performing on stage (not the same show in CT because I have a bad camera but she wore the same white soft long sleeved shirt and shirt white matching pants at our show too)

Should I review concerts here? 🤔
Saw Ninja Sex Party Friday in NJ. Great vibes, high energy, poor sound mixing but the band worked around it. Played unexpected favs. TWRP was killer, Dan is adorable.
Poppy tonight in CT- loud, wild af, feet ache, worth it. Girl can SHRIEK 💕 #concerts #music

Cake it so.

After weeks of everyone being sick with various things, we FINALLY have game again 😭 So good to go back to our little worlds and escape reality a bit. Have an early concept I drew for one of my current dudes, Polvo, a space octopus (he's an art forger and gambler ❤) #dnd #tabletopgames #gaming #oc

cover of Y/N by Esther Yi, a black and white pencil drawing or engraving of a ballerina inside a music box, mirrored multiple times

4 stars. 100% see why some could hate this- I found it hilarious. Very short, fast paced, pretentious overwrought prose, classic "smart teenager writes bad fanfiction" style. Meta AF, fanfic within fanfic, cringe and surreal but all too familiar if you grew up in fandoms. #booksky #books #reading

cover of The Eyes Are The Best Part by Monika Kim showing a set of chopsticks holding up a human eye with a bright blue iris

4 stars. Super quick, super brutal, almost hilarious. The men are the real horrors in this short gross novel about racism, sexism, women's rights, and women's wrongs. You cant help but hope the MC gets away with it even though she's a disaster. A fascinating read. #booksky #books #reading #horror

I miss drawing, someday when I am not constantly sick or in pain I will do it again. This is Cal and Bodhi, two OCs of mine who I love very much 🥺💚

YouTube video by RTÉ - IRELAND’S NATIONAL PUBLIC SERVICE MEDIA Hozier performs Bridge Over Troubled Water - RTÉ Does Comic Relief

Hozier's pandemic lockdown cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkle, played in an empty stadium, still makes me weep. youtu.be/e5hP9H2ty68?...

The Civil Wars cover of "Dance Me To The End of Love" by Leonard Cohen isnt BETTER than the original but brings a different kind of yearning his didn't have, and is SO intense 😳

Sounds like a well rounded experience musically, that's awesome. Amazing the various musical backgrounds people come from and still find love for the same bands. Makes me hate the world a tiny fraction less 😭❤

No shame to them being young, there is plenty of time to learn how much beautiful, weird, crazy music is out there! I was just surprised it set so many people off, but I grew up with a dad who liked prog rock so I forget it isn't a normal experience 😂
