Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I need you to spell out how this world is different from the world as it was. In great detail.

Justina Ireland and P. Djeli Clark are two of my personal fave examples.

Sometimes it’s difficult for me to read alternate histories with magical realism. Partly cuz I actually know what happened and because I read just as much fantasy as I read history, so I got some high standards.

I just really hate that folx are making friendships so transactional. There’s a lot of ways to be thoughtful and generous without compromising safety, capacity, or boundaries, but folx are spending so much time repeating phrases without considering what community can be for and with them.

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 3d

Folx framing being friendship as “cost” and “inconvenience” is really fucked up TO ME. Like damn, capitalism wins again.

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 3d

I’m actually tired of hearing folx say “inconvenience is the cost of community.” And maybe I’m just splitting hairs, but I am consistently annoyed with the framing.

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 3d

I’m really happy for people who find their happiness. You just never know all of what they had to do to find it, so I’m happy for folx. Especially her.

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 3d

She posted this really vulnerable video a couple of years ago about being single that ended up going viral. I followed her slightly before that. But how lovely to know in retrospect that she was right on the precipice of her breakthrough.

I don’t normally get teary eyed over weddings. But this one woman I’ve been following on IG for a while got married this weekend and that shit was so beautiful.

I miss grocery shopping in food lion. Idk why I never go there.

Jasmine @jasminedaria.bsky.social · 4d

Highly recommend! Folx are amazed enough to ask me a question or two about what I’m doing and respectful enough to let me focus on doing something that they *think* is difficult, even though it’s not. The perfect way to be productive, look interesting, and mentally check out.
