#AmReading Winter of the Witch
😍 I have been since it came out. It's really long.

Hey Hey Hey Hey folx! I found out about a new #serialized #YoungAdult / #YA #magazine online!

https://www.foreshadowya.com

It has people I've heard of, and for you, my friends:

🚨 They accept submissions 🚨 , and they __especially__ want 🚨 marginalized voices!🚨

Yes, they are a paying market.

I thought #AmWriting folx on the fediverse might want to know. #Writing

#AmReading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo. About 40% through. Got it from the #library but I think I may need to buy it because it honestly seems like a great reference. It has the best explanation for checking your privilege I've ever seen. Like, I don't think I was fully examining it before. I do get it's a continuous process though. #SocialJustice #Nonfiction

Yes. #PodcastAddict keeps statistics. Is it weird I look at these and go "I need to listen to even _more_ #podcasts in 2019" instead of going "Gee maybe I should get a life"? And other than language lessons these are 100% podcasts. Tried #audiobooks last year. Zone out too much for them. #IRegretNothing

Yessss, #IDEOTV had another digression about Transformers Sex (I was going to bring you Transformers Erotica for #FanficFriday because I loved the first digression so much, but I thought maybe this was too much.) They should do this digression every time. Just make it a segment.

I get it for library reasoning (organization- Dewey Decimal) but having a big-ass display that says "New Nonfiction" and having two issues of #Saga there raises questions??????

D-Dog! 😍 #MsMarvel

I read #SquirrelGirl Trade 2 on January 2nd (yes, use your #Hobonichi / #BuJo to mark when you finish books, even if/especially if you want to do a full review later!) So good. My brother wanted me to stop so I'd play Smash Brothers, but not even for Smash! I'll either read the next #MsMarvel today/this weekend or more Squirrel Girl.

Btw, while I'm shilling for Winternight, if you're a #Tortall / #TamoraPierce fan, I highly recommend reading it.

It has a similar feel in "why can't girls do this?" (prose is totally different though), and Tamora Pierce Blurbed the first book, so you know it's good. Even if I hated her books (never), I'd still love her taste.

While I reread the previous books while I wait for Winter of the Witch to come out, I want to reflect on something and hopefully help others.

When I was younger I didn't read series until they were done. What if the series went bad?

I understand where I come from. Problem is, there's a worse problem from not reading (yes even from the library) the books as they come out: the series could get canceled due to lack of demand. Now you'll never know how it ends.

Read in the moment. #PSA.

@zephasaurus_hex
I like how the moment I came to the conclusion that Nick could be a handsome boy so Satan has Sabrina as queen (like speculated the last episode) your co-host immediately said it. It makes me feel like I figured out something passively watching.

Also I can't recall, have M. S and Nick met? I'm not saying she would recognize him, but I think she'd be most likely to.

#Podcast #Sabrina

Btw the senility is not intended as an ageist slam. I pitched this idea to my brother and he suggested the senility is a side effect of some serum? He knows slightly more about the guy than me.

I had an idea for #CaptainAmerica fanfiction (or a comic? Come on, hire me!) despite knowing nothing about him. The uh... original Captain America is a ghost, and haunts a new one, a jaded millennial or younger. (absolutely crucial they are jaded/cynical though)

There are generational differences, and it's clear that Original CA is senile.

New CA keeps trying various religions to exorcise him, but it doesn't work.

At no point does actual combat go on.

Also Harvey bored the shit out of me at the beginning, but I feel like he's finally coming into his own. My sweet babies. All the characters are the best character, except for Prudence, who is queen of the best characters.

You know, now that we've absolutely confirmed Harvey is off the market, how about #Sabrina and Prudence get together? I want Prudence in the show all the time (or the show to just start being about her) and them getting together seems like the perfect way. 🤔

Me: my back hurts. I can go to the library if I don't go hog wild.
Me: *checks out 9 things*
Me: oops.

This is called "all your holds coming in at once."

"knitting her own death shroud"
Me: 😡 That's Clearly Crochet! FFS!

Oh shit. I think my kindle is "broken". (It's not taking a charge)

I told my dad I'd look into it. I'm hoping I can fix it so I don't get sent a new one.
