I know no one who follows me on Bluesky cares, but I need an outlet for my bookish takes. I’m so sorry in advance.

I just know some of these people commenting “are you American by chance” under literally everything are actually tucked up in their beds somewhere in Ohio.

The more I think about it, I will never relate to a character more than John Grey because I know what it is to be in love with Jamie Fraser and know I can never have him. #outlander

Please can we make is socially unacceptable to sing with a transatlantic accent and say “this is just how my voice sounds”. Girl no it doesn’t. You’re singing weird on purpose.

The Broadway community has so much groupthink it’s disturbing. People are out here saying a show is “heartless” when they’ve never even thought about actually going to the theater. Then again, maybe if it didn’t cost $100 to sit in a half-empty mezzanine, we wouldn’t have this as much!

Never once have I started a series and quit before the end of the available books with the intention of possibly reading the rest. Never. This has to be something that only influencers do because they want to have more to talk about.

“I’m going to rank these books with a yes, no, or maybe.”
“I’m going to rate these books from my least to most favorite.”
How do you read so many books and not know what words mean??

When a book is good, does it really matter if there are a couple typos that got missed by the editor? Are we reading for the superior spelling and grammar or for the plot?

Today is the day from the TVD prison world (May 10), and I have not a single person in my life who appreciates it.

It’s okay that some music is just for elevators and that “top 40” radio station that’s still playing Bulletproof. If my favorite indie artist was always playing while I was picking up a frozen pizza, I’d be tired of that too. Let them live.

If you’re in the comments of someone taking about Angel Reese saying “Caitlin Clark is better” or anything to that effect or you’re liking or commenting on that, you’re the problem.

There’s something I really need to get off my chest. Dorian Havilliard isn’t exceptional. He’s just a rich, powerful, hot hot white man. #tog

I know they say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I do be judging. Some books need better covers. (This is about literal books.)

Maybe I’m being dramatic, but there is nothing more devastating to me than seeing the literal cutest things on TikTok shop and knowing they aren’t even worth the $5 they cost.

Anyone with a microphone attached to the table in front of them who asks a question and then interrupts the person answering with, “ANSWER YES OR NO ITS A YES OR NO QUESTION,” is automatically untrustworthy to me.

I’ve been watching Ari/Cynthia interviews for over a month in anticipation of this movie, and I’ve just now learned why people are holding space. Why are people not holding space on Bluesky? Is holding space just for c*nservatives?

I will never understand how someone could have so little shame that they would make a TikTok video using their own face where they hint at something and then talk for five minutes about nothing related to it without ever getting to the point wasting everyone’s time just for views.
