Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm overthinking, I know.
"Sure, cottages are cute but a thatched roof is no picnic! And don't get me started on aphids and dry rot!"

I like the aesthetic of both cottagecore and dark academia. But I’d like them to come with WiFi.

~t, with permission, I'd love to let Rick know he has a fan. (also stick around for a certain m-preg in space / espionage short story by someone who is likely me in July, maybe)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I learned to avoid the T. Kingfisher horror stories - read one and it seriously scared me; I was glad I was reading it during the day rather than at night. I do, however, love her other work, so I'll keep buying those.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Please do, hippocampus! And, of course, I will eagerly await July

Now this sounds more up my alley than baseball...I do these things for you all .... (also it was a lot of fun to write)
Another heads up is a Goblin Market meets high fashion during New York's social season story coming out next month in Uncanny...

IN other News, not about me: help my reading is going too slowly. I think I broke myself by reading The Obsession, which was recommended bc I'm looking for a romance/thriller for the syllabus and that is NOT what we will be using. Who's got recs.

For Murderbot fans, there's a short piece called Home online. I'm not reading the series, but I understand it falls between Exit Strategy and Network Effect.
