A clown inflates its veiny balloon-like nose, to the delight of an audience of children.

Fun Clown Facts!🧵
Clowns can inflate their noses up to a diameter of 30 cm. This is known as "honking".
While this behavior is often seen when it feels threatened, a trained clown may also honk for entertainment. Releasing the contained air in a burst creates their iconic sound.

I hadn't even heard of Elio until now 🤦🏻‍♀️ it looks so cool! I also loved Strange World, which was barely marketed.

YOU CANNOT GRIND THE BONES OF YOUR ENEMIES INTO DUST TOMORROW IF YOU DO NOT TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT.

That would make me feel nice, honestly. Like they trust me enough to show their vulnerability and ask for help. ❤️

A collage made of magazine clippings, with the text "I am not what they said I am".

Another #collage, this time about being misdiagnosed as a child and feeling "othered" for a good chunk of my life.

So it was targeted just because of the author. I wonder if they even bothered to read it 🤦🏻‍♀️

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was my first King novel, as a preteen. I can't imagine why it would be banned??

2/2 These two pages are to track series. The first is for series I have not completed or that the author hasn't completed. The second is for completed series. I also used a tutorial for these. ❤️

A colorful spreadsheet tracking book name, author, rating, pages/hours, genre, date started, date read, and if it's a favorite.

A colorful spreadsheet tracking book series name, author, books in series, status (ongoing or completed), # read, # to read, percent progress, date started, date completed, and if it's up to date or not.

1/2 I've spent several hours a day for the last week teaching myself how to use Google Sheets so I could make a budget/spending tracker. Instead, I made a reading tracker 😁 I'm going to tweak the colors to make them lighter, but I'm pretty happy with it. I did go off a tutorial for the first page.

I've had The Surviving Sky on my TBR since before its release. I'm not even 200 pages in, but I'm really enjoying it! Also, the cover art?! 😍

Seconding Our Hideous Progeny! Excellent writing, great vibes.

I LOVED the Foundryside series! One of my favorites. I recently read The Jasmine Throne and its sequel by Tasha Suri. I loved the writing and the unique magic system. Can't wait to read the third in the series!

Meme of an exasperated-looking woman in aristocratic garb, saying, “I’m anxious, overwhelmed, and have a terrible headache.” A demonic-looking skeleton replies, “have you tried consuming nothing but coffee and horrifying news updates?”

Yes, I have tried that, thank you very much.

A Tumblr post titled "Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis"

Paper collage featuring marigolds, sunflowers, a young girl peering at light in her cupped palm, and another young girl looking at herself in a mirror. Green background.

My first #collage in a while. Inspired by my feeling lately like I'm finally aligning who I want to be with who I am.

I went to my first event at my city's Pride Center! It was a paint & chat night. I had a blast 😍 For a first-time painter, I'm pretty happy with the results!

I'm just generally interested. I've come across a few factoids about different prion diseases and want to know more.

I just finished The Radium Girls by Kate Moore. It's unfathomable how many people not only knew, but actively worked to cover up the dangers of radium. 4.5/5⭐

Does anyone have any nonfiction book recommendations about prion diseases? Preferably something that explains the science in an easy-to-understand way.
