Their relationship was the absolute sweetest!

I was kicking my feet as I read Love and Other Conspiracies the other night. He's an earnest, thoughtful, enthusiastic golden retriever passionate about cryptids. She's an offbeat skeptic healing after an abusive relationship. They show each other the care they need and deserve. #BookSky

The book cover of Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe. The book cover features an illustration of a white man with brown hair, glasses and a sleeve of tattoos on his left arm, holding a white woman with bright blue hair. Her arms are wrapped around his neck and one of her feet is kicked playfully into the air. A silhouette of bigfoot looms in the background behind them.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

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

AH! I must know your thoughts when you’re done! Scream is one of my favourite movies and series of all time but I wanted to hear some feedback before I bought it.

I have complicated feelings about The Life of a Showgirl, made all the more so because it’s the reason I can’t use TikTok right now. The algorithm has apparently decided I need to know the opinion of every single person on the planet about this album and I couldn’t be less interested.

Jen @popgoesthereader.bsky.social · 4d

I've read six autumn-themed romances this season and I think it's interesting that the best written and my favourites thus far are both YA - Falling Like Leaves by Misty Wilson and Most Valuable Player by A.M. Woody. So far, the adult romances I've read have been lacklustre. #BooSky #YALit

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters

Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

A white woman with red hair wearing a cream-coloured tank top and black witch's hat is driving a convertible at night. Next to her in the passenger seat is a smiling male vampire with dark hair and wearing a leather jacket. The text "65 2025 Young Adult and Adult Romances Perfect For Fall" sits above their heads in the night sky. A crescent moon sits in the sky to the far left of the pair.
