Yellowface by @rfkuang.bsky.social! 💯💯

Just finished @markhoppus.bsky.social’s memoir which made me laugh, cry, and feel feelings. If you want to do any of those things, I think you should also read it.

Grateful for the people who created Fable today.

That’s it. Just happy it exists! 📚

My big win of the weekend was going to the bookstore, and as I was checking out, the employee said “wow, you have some great picks here.”

So I’ll be riding that high for the next few weeks.

Still ruminating on the time I was chatting with my tattoo artist and asked about his weekend plans as I was leaving the shop.

He said, “Stacking firewood.”

I said, “Well…have fun with your wood.”

🤦‍♀️

I’ve never run out of a place so quickly.

Bringing this 2-year-old video (a banger) back as I prep for a trip to both the bookstore and the library tomorrow 😈

And you know what, he’s correct

The perfect post doesn’t exi-

What’s everybody in Columbus, OH, doing this weekend?

(Thursday morning isn’t too early to start thinking about the weekend, right?)

Congratulations!! This makes me so happy for you 🥰

All right, here goes…

I want to buy a used typewriter. Important to note that I have never owned a typewriter before. If anyone has any recommendations for buying/where to buy/what to buy, shout ‘em out! I’m an idiot in this space 😅

A Google result for the definition of the word “apposite.”

I’m so sorry, but how have I never heard of this word before today??

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to expand my vocabulary, but… how did I miss this one?!

Also wrote a little writing prompt about this (more Fall Out Boy lyrics included, ofc): www.avrilmking.com/writing-prom...

What are your favorite lyrics from your favorite song? I'll go first:

“Detox just to retox / And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life / And perfect boys with their perfect lives / Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy.”

Stiff by @maryroach.bsky.social!

💯 From my perspective, working across forms and working fast are quite impressive! Why should everyone try to fit in one restrictive box?

Officially spending the rest of the summer learning as much as I can about the hybrid publishing industry to prevent more of my author-clients from getting screwed over 🫡
