I do art, read books, and yell about government

Healthcare provider turned paraplegic patient, I became homeless with kids but we are now housed!

Follow along for the plot✨️

📚Reading:
Wordslut by Montell
Horrorstor by Hendrix
The Hike by Magary
Very much enjoying #abeautifullyfoolishendeanvor #hankgreen

33% and the only thing I've not enjoyed, is that I can't understand the book if i listen faster than 1.75x when I don't have my copy in front of me 🫠

My review of #katabasis on #Fable cannot possibly cover everything I loved about this book. Every book of #rfkuang that I pick up (which is all of them), I am taken aback by how the worlds and characters build upon themselves in such a natural flow. Her writing is a well polished mirror to humanity.

Yet another wonder from the first individual to make me understand "auto-buy authors".

I want to blow through it but also savor it slowly, which do we think will win out?

This audiobook is a raw and vulnerable expression of a life one didn't get to choose.
Check the trigger warnings, but I can't recommend supporting this individual more. We gained from their media presence while they lost so much, and here they share again

Dipping my toes into my first ever #emilyhenry book, thanks to my local #littlefreelibrary #freelibrary #lfl

I see her recommended all over, but I've never picked one up before. I figure this is a good break from the spooky and scary I've been reading lately, so we're giving it a shot!

Over halfway through #bloodoverbrighthaven and I'm so thoroughly enthralled by the magic system and the commentary on all too familiar political systems

I made the mistake of showing my kids I can make animals and things out of pony beads, and this is all I get to do now. Thankful for audiobooks 👐

I don't know how to express exactly what this means to me after two years of homelessness/hotel living after my accident, but I think it's an iykyk situation.

Caught Salami mid yawn, and he knows it.

Oh no! Salami stole my wheelchair seat again! I guess I have to stay in bed and read 🫣📚

Salami is waiting for Joe to hop on the zoom they had scheduled

I'm Reid!
29, ND, Queer, doing my best

I worked bedside nursing in covid units and in-homes until a car accident paralyzed me in 2022

We were evicted and I became homeless with my kids for two years, but we are now housed!

I rediscovered reading in recovery, and I welcome you along the journey📚

Salami is asleep, but prepared for attack.

Spending my birthday with V.E. Schwab, and when my kids get home from school, a GF chocolate cake they made yesterday 🎂

My January Reading Wrap!
Clearly R.F. Kuang dominated my month. The Anthropocene Reviewed was possibly my favorite book of Jan, with Babel being another 5⭐️ read.

What's the best book you read last month?

As I attempt to recover from #thepoppywar trilogy, you can find me deep in another wonder by @rebeccathorne.bsky.social

Also please don't try to find me I'm busy 🫣

I know I know, it's #onyxstorm release day. I tried! But I'm 23% through #thedragonrepublic and I think I'm physically incapable of reading anything else until I've finished this trilogy.

My cat's full name is Salami but we usually call him Sal. He has a very lovely cat tree, but he prefers to steal my wheelchair seat the moment I vacate it.

📚The Poppy War
🖊R.F. Kuang

I read this after reading #Babel, and #thedragonrepublic right after. @rfkuang.bsky.social made me understand other reviewers having "auto-buy authors". For consistently tackling heavy subjects eloquently and with deep understanding, I will rave indefinitely.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

58% through #thepoppywar after reading #Babel, and I have quickly found R.F. Kuang to be my first ever auto-buy author.

Rip my soul out with #thepoppywar and attempting to repair it with #thetellerofsmallfortunes

If you need me, I'll be here having a mediocre coffee and a good cry.

Why not start 2025 by ripping out my own heart, honestly
