First Lines Friday with a NONFICTION book this time! Can you guess it?

"Is it wrong to begin with Bismarck? On several levels, he was a key figure in the coming of the Third Reich."

Make your guess in the comments, and I've posted the answer there as well!

Well, it happened.

My dreams have officially bled so far into reality that I can no longer distinguish the two 😅🙈

My only hint is that if I can’t picture *exactly* where I was when whatever I think happened… it was probably a dream.

Cal: What’re you going to do with this one life you’re given?

Avi: I’m gonna eat fatty foods, have sex, stab my enemies, and visit all the national parks.

C: So… there’s nothing profound you want to aspire to do?

A: I think enjoying my life is profound enough. 🫡

Happy International Asexuality Day!!
💜🤍🩶🖤

Learning that this is a thing, when I was already an adult, completely changed how I viewed myself. For the BETTER
I know now that I’m not broken.
That I’m perfect as I am

So, if anyone needs any book recommendations featuring ace characters, lemme know 🥰

It’s International Asexuality Day! 🩶🤍💜

I am grey ace AND bi, and yes that is a thing ✌🏻🥰

I’ve known I was bi since I was a teenager, but realising I was on the ace spectrum in my 20s was a HUGE revelation. Suddenly I didn’t feel broken anymore 🩷✨
