    I had no idea John McWhorter was so problematic.

  • Neurodivergent readers

    Hey everyone! I am autistic, have ADHD and cPTSD, and would love to find some more neurodivergent people in the community to follow! It’s so nice discussing with people who think in ways similar to me, so if anyone else who is neurodivergent would like to become mutuals or even just get a follow from me (no pressure to follow back) I would love to connect!!! ā™¾ļø (pretend that’s rainbow lmao)

    ā€˜My people won’t wear masks’, ā€˜no evidence masks work’ - Haylee has been well and truly brainwashed by the Christian right. She’s a bit scary.

    I really can’t decide if I find Haylee or Roxanna more obnoxious. Hayley is only 14 and needs more parental attention, so maybe Roxanna?

    The joke of spring 2020 was that there were two kinds of people during the pandemic: those who shaved their heads and those who got into baking.

    I shaved my head. How about you?

  • Fave audiobook narrators!

    As I start listening to a new book by my fave audiobook narrator, it occurs to me that maybe having a fave audiobook narrator isn’t an, um, normal people thing. But I know I won’t be alone in this here.

    So, tell me, fellow book nerds: do you have fave narrators and if so, I’d love to know who, and what makes them your fave, and even your fave or first book experience with them.

    I’ll start. I probably have a few faves, but definitely top three is Cornell Collins. I first heard him reading one of KJ Charles’ Will Darling books, and then quickly listened to him perform at least 5 more of her books. But I think it was when I listened to Pansies by Alexis Hall that my love was confirmed. He’s a dramatic delight with hist rom and intrigue, but also did a beautiful job with the modern and deeply emotional story in Pansies.

    Your turn! Tell me all!
