I read 5 books this year. Only 5. Should I feel bad about that? Absolutely not, because I still read despite everything. I share this mainly for others who feel they didn't do enough reading. You did. I did. Be proud. #booksky

I'm thinking about posting the sims/sim creations I made here during my hiatus. I got some good ones including but not limited to Glenn Rhee and a nice 3 bed pink house.

I was unhappy with the Rhaenyra's in the gallery, so I made my own (and uploaded it btw for those who were gonna ask). What I learned? Sims can only carry the GOT aesethic so far before you gotta get creative. #houseofthedragon #gameofthrones #sims4 #rhaenyra #targaryen

You shouldn’t finish every book you start.
Abandoning a book is not an admission of failure—it’s a sign of wisdom. You’ve decided to let go of sunk costs.
The purpose of reading is to be entertained and informed. If a book doesn't bring joy or insight, it’s time to move on.

Contemplating some nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, or otherwise gender expansive books? Of course we have recs! We’ll always take more, though. 🤩

Latinx romance book rec of the day.
A driven Puerto Rican-Filipino actress healing from a break up. An anxious Puerto Rican telenovela star with a secret. They both have one rule: don’t date your co-star. Easier said than done…
I loved this SO much!! #booksky #diversebooksky

Spectrum provides internet, or at least they're supposed to. I've personally found they tend to go out of their way to NOT give you internet when you're supposed to have it. Anyway, another outage. Shocker.

Anyway I've been playing a lot of sims and you should SEE my girls they're BEAUTIFUL.
