Not the "audiobooks isn't reading" discussion coming on this platform too... I thought we were past this. If you don't like audiobooks, don't listen to them. But don't declare they aren't reading just bc you feel like you're better than people who do. You aren't. #booksky

unsolicited ✨reading advice✨
you can just DNF a book. even if it's critically acclaimed. even if everyone has read it. even if you thought you'd like it. even if it sold a million copies. you can DNF.
*ALSO: don't go DMing the author to tell them or tag them in reviews where you blast the book 😘

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

It depends! If I’ve invested enough time in the book and I’m not bored — usually just annoyed or mad — I’ll finish it. But if I’m bored/very disconnected from the writing, I’ll probably DNF
Do you DNF books or do you torture yourself and read them to the very end?

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?
what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?
what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?
what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”
This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.
Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

Never have I felt so connected to words written in poetic form, from feelings expressed with such simplicity, to beauty told with such directedness. I adore how Cisneros touches on different topics (love, grief, loneliness, ageism, sex…) with the most care and raw emotion imaginable.

The most consistent through line in every period piece & fantasy ever created is that the single most reliable ally of The People is the courtesans & yet you still disrespect them.
