Been monitoring my blood sugar levels for 3 days now and I have to say, I don’t think I have GD lol I’m barely changing my diet and my levels are fine. But better safe than sorry! Want to make sure baby boy is okay!

Update! I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes 😭

If you’ve had GD, let me know some of your favorite meals to control your levels!

I failed my 1hr glucose test and now I have to do a 3hr one on Monday to make sure I don’t actually have Gestational Diabetes. I am so stressed because I feel like I’m going to fail that one too 😭

Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunters and you all were right. It is so good! I can’t stop watching edits of it on TikTok haha

Been out of work since July 4th due to accidental water damage in the bookstore I work. At least this is giving me time to catch up on my reading. Currently reading Night Shade by Autumn Woods 📚 #currentlyreading #booksky

The indie bookstore I work at was affected by a flood and is closed for the foreseeable future. Their sister store is still open and taking orders. It would mean a lot if you ordered something from them to show your support!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

What scene from a movie never fails to make you cry? I’m talking one that even when you just describe it to someone, you end up in tears.

Mine is when that one dinosaur gets left behind in Jurassic World 2

I just finished watching Sinners and dare I say that it was one of the best, if not THE best, movie I’ve seen so far this year

If you create content on TikTok, have you noticed your views just tanking? I usually get a few thousands views per video and the past four are stuck around 400 views 😭

On my way to NYC for my first ever publisher event! So excited to celebrate with @binderybooks.bsky.social

No one talk to me. My favorite fantasy show has been cancelled

Cassidy Reads @cassidyreads.bsky.social · May 24

I am so sick of starting a show on a streaming service, only for it to be cancelled. Makes me not want to start anything new.

And yes this has to do with the cancellation of The Wheel of Time. I’ve watched and loved it since it came out in 2021.
