Doom scrolling is great right now because The Doom is always fresh. It used to be The Doom would get stale after a day or 2 but now the horrors are unending 😊

Ready to burn it down and drink their blood 😬 (for legal reasons, this is just a joke)

My wife: “they sell hot dogs for $1.50, I’m pretty sure they’re for the people” ☠️🤣

My therapist asked me today “how have you been since Monday?” I replied, “what happened Monday?” I really can’t believe this is still the same week… it has aged me yearsssss 😒

Ughhhh!!! This happened to me last time with Iron Flame. I love B&N but the launch day shipping lag is an issue. I ended up getting Iron Flame on Kindle just so I could read it the day it came out. Sadly, I will miss Amazon for this reason - that’s how I got Onyx Storm on Tuesday 😫

I totally understand! 😫 KU really does help indie authors though so keep it up. I did read that if you like a book on KU, you should try to purchase it if you plan to re-read as that supports the author more. Good luck out there ❤️✨

Best thing to do is use Libby as much as you can! Authors also tend to make more money that way too. I know that doesn’t always help with the hot, trendy books since the wait is so long. But, depending where you live, you can get multiple library cards and dip into inventory from various counties.

Take it with a grain of salt, I’m not sure how accurate it is tbh but like the OP said, Amazon is making their big bucks elsewhere, not on KU. Amazon has monopolized the book market so it’s hard to fully cut ties as a book worm 😫🥲 You can boycott Bezos in other ways that doesn’t take away your joy.

Another creator on here mentioned if you read 11+ books per month on KU, Amazon actually loses money. Not sure of the facts behind that but it did make me giggle 🤭 Stick it to the man???

AOC carrying democracy on her back.

My outrage has chronic fatigue syndrome.

Good luck! 🍀💛

Where is the “that would never happen, everything is fine, you’re overreacting” crowd at? It’s literally been four days and this country is a dumpster fire! 🔥

Noooo!!! I hope it comes soon! 🥲 One of my coworkers finished it on audible already and has no one to talk to about it with so it could always be worse? 😉🩵

It’s true! I have friends that preordered and still are waiting on it to be delivered. Tragic! I preordered from two places just in case (giving one to my sister though).

Anyone else reading about dwagons? 🐉❤️‍🔥 No spoilers, I’m only 200 pages in! #booksky #booktok #onyxstorm

Pausing my political tirade for a quick #Gojo, aka #Noodle, appreciation post. My wife @gaiaprime09.bsky.social has a million pictures of this plump turkey man. #catsky #meow

It’s literally been written on the walls for years and years. History is repeating itself, just in the digital age. We should be concerned and those who tell us not to be are delusional or ignorant 🥲 Stay strong out there! ❤️

@luceobrien.bsky.social come thru Ed!

I thought this was satire… @theonion.com is that you? 😳

This is the bad place

Oh… okay… ummm 😳

the speed with which AOC’s colleague jumps up to yield her an extra 30 seconds so she can land her closer: teamwork

Hello from Chunk #meow

You can try your best escaping, the universe is breaking. You say you can't take it no more. The pressure is building like buildings you jumped from. Wishing that wishing could lift this conundrum. The streets that you walk on are shallow. But do you feel as big as your shadow? #macmiller

Ok… breathe… find your joy… 😮‍💨

Here’s (another) sweet son of mine 🥹 Carl aka the Baby Cat aka Pepito aka Paby aka Paby the Great. He takes the crown for the most nicknames in our household, and is generally a fan favorite for his ridiculously good looks 😸
