I'm particular about the #books I read. When I find a new favorite author I like to inhale their entire catalogue then go back to other favorite reads. #BookwormLife
When I'm watching a movie or TV show, I'll tweet my reactions and thoughts. #NoSpoilersPlease

So first you make it harder for people to vote in person, then have roadblocks for others to vote by mail, and finally you gerrymander the districts so tough certain votes don't matter at all #SecessionTime

The prices are also a deterrent cuz whatchu mean $11 for an ebook?! 😲
Especially from a new to me author. Even my faves might have to wait a second before I shell out cash like that for them

6. I do plan on reading the first book I bought eventually but l also think my purchase of the rest of the series will be the tipping point for whether the author keeps on writing or not

Eric was literally told she is essentially a child and he still kept trying stuff with her!
And if Victor had good intentions in the end why not hire a tutor or teacher for her so he could keep the paternal role like with Eric? And yes it was necroph*lia given her parts are technically dead

jj7twin.bsky.social @jj7twin.bsky.social · 2d

Victor may not have created her for that purpose but he also barely questioned building a live s*x doll for Eric either. Which is literally all The Bride was to Eric. He called it love but aside from flowers he didn't do anything to build a relationship. He didn't even want her to learn to talk!

Just finished #CreatureaCommandos and
1. Justice for Nina and Weasel
2. Did anyone else see Victor's relationship with Bride in a grooming kinda light?

IF, & it should be a big IF, this should come to pass, and the SCOTUS does indeed strike down, or even weaken our VOTING RIGHTS, the next time Dems have majorities in BOTH houses, some justices NEED to be impeached (it works the exact same way it does with presidents)

I get the gender neutral appeal of a jumpsuit with pants but they are also kind boring #StarTrek #StarTrekTheNextGeneration #StarTrekTNG #STTNG

I'm probably gonna judge every #StarTrek series by their uniforms.

Okay it seems they don't have a history but Picard either feels some kinda way solely because of the events around her husband's death or because he had feelings for her prior to all that and now has to deal with that

I don't want to know if Wesley is secretly Picard's kid but I am guessing before the marriage that Crusher and Picard had a little thing going on😏

Dang Dr. McCoy is 137?! Aren't Vulcans a long lived race as well? So Spock should be running around here somewhere #StarTrek #StarTrekTheNextGeneration #StarTrekTNG #STTNG

jj7twin.bsky.social @jj7twin.bsky.social · 4d

Yes I'm back to watching #StarTrek even though I didn't finish my rewatch of #Lucifer or #TheWalkingDead. I'm about to be hella busy with the holidays so new shows have priority again

Lol wait is that Dr. McCoy?! Lol Admiral McCoy! Dr. McCoy lived to be a centurion? #StarTrek #StarTrekTheNextGeneration #StarTrekTNG #STTNG

If I hit one more sad day this month I gotta immediately re-read one of my crying books to just purge the feelings all at once. #BookwormProblems #ReadingWoes
