liana 🧸🪩

logging on during library week to tell y’all that i love the library

i finished my first knitted sweater and now i can start a new project and there’s so much possibility i’m teeming with creative energy

i completely forgot about this app

i realize i need more crafty friends like i love crochet and knit and i need friends i can thoroughly talk about those interests with

the urge to start a new book vs. the need to finish the ones i’m still in the middle of

hate doesn’t even cover it at this point like i need something stronger

me: this person is so immature omg
me a second later: liana be nice it’s literally YA they’re literally in high school

idk if it’s just this book or if i can’t stand YA that’s not fantasy or mystery

a little cotton candy sheep i’m obsessed!!!

going to london this summer to see beyonce and some dear friends and honestly i need something to look forward to so yay!

the grip that issa rae and omar epps have on nyt crossword writers

it is such a jumpscare when a youtuber i casually watch mentions ry and sjm like is no place sacred

is anyone else just extremely fatigued by social media and all the different platforms rn?

i’m not the biggest fan of the book cover 🫣

i have a confession that i fear people would be mad at me for

y’all will not see me in an airplane anytime soon

The current state of the world is just so disgusting. I can’t even fully enjoy my hobbies without my mind wandering off, and completely disassociating.

oh, and i still have to work my 9-5 in the middle of all this

i am once again humbled by the overwhelming feeling of not having enough time. not the “biological clock” sort of time but the “i have 5 books im itching to read, 3 audiobooks i need to listen to before they’re due, and i still want to listen to the aoty noms before sunday” kind of lack of time

Well, we knew they would blame the plane crash on DEI, and Trump's sycophants will just nod their heads even though it is a nonsensical claim. I don't know how Republicans live with themselves. I really don't. And frankly, most of those Democrats, too, as they put up no resistance.

i’ve been avoiding even looking into tome bc when i first heard of it it just looked like sjm/ry stans galore… is it still like that??

sorry i don't think there are "good reasons" to use chatgpt and i think less of people when i find out they use it, this is not a flexible opinion

someone put yeek on their radar

the blackpink girls collecting part filipino men left and right

my anxiety is at all time highs and it’s really no fun

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

The Death of the Author shouldn’t be interpreted that way anyway. In the theory, separating the art from the artist is largely about the artist’s opinion of their own work and how that should have no bearing on your personal analysis thereof.

it should be the norm! like an examples that come to mind was reading about ernest hemingway’s background before reading a farewell to arms and how his experience in wartime allows the story to be as impactful as it is

I’m really looking forward to Elaine Castillo’s Moderation! Her last fiction book, America is Not the Heart, was my favorite read last year and I can’t believe how long it took for me to pick it up
