💥Intro Post💥

Hi 👋🏻 I'm Chel (sounds like 🐚)

I'm the leftist athiest bitch your pastor warned you about 😘

AND I happen to make some 🔥 starter packs with the help of my community on #booksky

This thread is (hopefully) going to be a spot where I can organize my lists, so check them out below 👇🏻

Tiktok sending me video tips about an illegally bound #HarryPotter #fanfic wasn't surprising, just disappointing. This is why people say #Alchemized can't be separated from #Manacled. It doesn't matter that SLY wanted a clean break from HP, that fandom will never respect their wishes.

To other eldest daughters,

It's part of the human experience to be wrong sometimes. Even if it doesn't happen often. Surround yourself with other eldest daughters that have the guts to call you out when you're wrong. Otherwise you'll be stuck in a echo chamber 💔

Love, a #Virgo #EldestDaughter

Quick review of Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas.
TLDR: Beautifully written historical #horror with a side of a slow burn second chance #romance. Unique take on vampires and a great #spookyseason read!

My quick review of Defectors by Paola Ramos

TLDR: Nonfiction deep dive of how far-right ideologies have seeped into the Latinx community. I gave it 5 stars, definitely pick this one up! #nonfictionbooks #latinx #latino #nonfictionreads #deepdive #bluesky #booksky

I had Carissa Broadbent on my problematic authors list because of her neutral stance on Gaza. This is a step in the right direction, so I'm taking her off my list for now.

Of course! It's a lot of info but it's worth it to help other people not read problematic authors 🥰

Chel | Ink Drinker 📚 @unboundbibliophile.bsky.social · Aug 22

Here is my updated list of Problematic Authors and a blurb about what they did. 😮‍💨

Please don't shoot the messenger. I'm human, I make mistakes, if one of these authors apologized and is making moves to do better, please let me know so I can adjust my list

Same 😭 I had so much fun making starter packs but they weren't getting attention anymore

Chel | Ink Drinker 📚 @unboundbibliophile.bsky.social · Aug 21

I miss my bluesky book friends 😭 I've been slowly finding y'all elsewhere. Maybe once tiktok gets banned again the bluesky algorithm will push my posts out

Hi friends! My short story “It’s Okay” is out and it would mean so much if you read it. It is all about the ambiguity of death and what that means to each of us.

Alright everyone I’m gonna say it, the ONLY way Dems will ever win again is by going farther left.

Like we need to meet MAGA with their direct opposite & enact all the “socialist” policies they have terrified people about & that prosperity will pave way for republicans to be weakened indefinitely
