Skylark in the Fog by Helyna L. Clove @helynalc.bsky.social Lanes are artificially formed wormholes that are unreliable, dangerous, and allow interstellar travel. When a new lane opens right on a planet, it is total destruction. A fun read, highly recommend! 📚👀💙📚 #sff

What better way to celebrate the season of goodwill than by finishing @scumbelievable.bsky.social 's Manhunt this morning? A virus ravages everyone with high testosterone. Gore! Hot trans and queer people! Zombies! Creepy billionaires! Bloodthirsty TERFS! I absolutely loved this book! Go read it.

So... @scarlettaddams.bsky.social has a boat on second life. Unsinkable, like its namesake.

The Murderbot Diaries are a fantastic read, I hope the series is just as good

Alexander Skarsgård Stars In ‘Murderbot’ Sci-Fi Series Ordered By Apple From Chris & Paul Weitzdeadline.com Apple TV+ has officially picked up Murderbot, a 10-episode sci-fi drama series starring and executive produced by Alexander Skarsgård.

Bookshops & Bonedust by @travisbaldree.bsky.social This prequel to Legends and Lattes is even more fun to read. Necromancy, magic, and a lovely little bookstore. Watching Viv discover her love of reading is delightful. Highly recommend! #queerAdultSFF 🌈📚👀💙📚 #sff

Are you able to confirm, @jillianw.bsky.social ?

If you could eliminate just one thing, what would it be?

Do not feed the murder lizards

The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin @nkjemisin.bsky.social Every city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She's got five, one for each borough. A brilliant homage to New York City. Highly recommend! 📚👀💙📚 #sff

The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.bsky.social "As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure." A part robot part human tasked with guarding humans. Thing is, Murderbot doesn’t really like humans and would rather watch entertainment videos all day. Highly recommend! 📚👀💙📚 #sff

So many people requested System Collapse from my local library that they bought 23 copies of the ebook and 60 copies of the audiobook in addition to print copies. You never need to apologize to authors for getting their book at the library. Your library bought it.

so we got some great news this morning. I put in for early social security a little over a month ago, and I learned this morning it was approved and we received our first payment last Wednesday! It will be enough to pay rent, which is huge.
