Made myself a love song playlist and mostly what I have learned from this is that Hum Hallelujah still rings me like a bell.

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising.
IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar.
Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

A friend would like to memorialize her beloved pet and needs certain linguistic assistance, probably from the type of people who excitedly shouted “look he’s got a jumja stick” while watching star fleet academy:
And while that whole name would be a wondrous tattoo, I have this idea: Spicy Potato.

Hi #skystorians! A freshman in my History of Animals course wants to do research on the history of service animals. I would love some recommendations for secondary sources to get her started. Anybody working at the intersection of disability history and animal history?

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

One of my aunts didn’t know her OWN real first name until she saw it in a school award when she was 12.
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.
