@celineorelse Patron here. Proud, not betrayed. Keep being awesome. 🙂

Somehow, @maria_reads's Kindle recommendations drain my wallet even more than Steam sales... Highly recommended account as a source of excellent new reads, but don't say I didn't warn you! https://t.co/KfpzNZLrcO

She-ra is so good that I want to cry. I may actually be crying. This is everything I’ve ever wanted. How very dare you @Gingerhazing @DreamWorksSheRa

@RoAnnaSylver Tried, but it wouldn't let me write the review on the US site, so I left one on https://t.co/TZdezl3loa - hopefully that'll help at least a bit. I'm not the greatest book reviewer, so my text's probably too cryptic, but it's verified purchase & a well-deserved *****.

Thought about this show for the first time in ages today. I bet @shallow15 knows where I can find a good #GravedaleHigh / #MonsterHigh crossover story. https://t.co/xRbMzR3kWt

@pcmacgames I'd consider a WinterWolves rom-zom-com dating sim a must buy! Plus, it's already its own sub-genre... See https://t.co/kdjiSSFpd5 and the delightful https://t.co/qbgpUjMhQu

"Hopepunk says that kindness and softness doesn’t equal weakness, and that ... being kind is a political act. An act of rebellion." I am SO here for a #hopepunk short fiction anthology. (Contributor, audience or both.) Also: Read this essay.

[Alexandra Rowland (Newsletter link in bio) @_alexrowland]

I have a new angry essay out today about #hopepunk: "One Atom of Justice, One Molecule of Mercy, and The Empire of Unsheathed Knives"

Go check it out here: https://t.co/sMgCaXVHSS

Retweeting this as a reminder. Looks like my first print purchase will be Friday, Canadian shipping be darned! (@heyjenbartel ‘s She-Ra warmups warm my heart.) https://t.co/xaGIkm2e7j

[Jen Bartel @heyjenbartel]

Keep an eye on https://t.co/Yf1ITsGV5t this week! (especially on Friday 😘)

@maddieknicker A few examples: https://t.co/kpp1j7I3AK , https://t.co/9wO1dxKVKW , https://t.co/xsB8iO07EI (CPR ghost-wrote?), see also NWLC: https://t.co/c2Tph9pUS5 and CPR https://t.co/wjzxVTLzJn ('What X say' v. popular, many eds.). Plus biblio of 'Imperial Plots': https://t.co/3PTmg3HNv5

Why, yes, I just MIGHT be sneaking some #ValidationComic reading when I should be scrutinizing an 1890 Royal Commission Report on the Mineral Resources of Ontario... Ally's adventures are way too compelling. https://t.co/VaQ5evbtel

[Stray Silvers @StraySilvers]

OMFGWTFBBQ how did I not notice that the talented Kelci Crawford of #ValidationComic does pagan/witchy stuff? Four days left in the (funded) Gods & Spirits sketchbook kickstarter. Can't wait to see the finished product. *_* https://t.co/2dPFvSxJej

I picked up this delightful small doll at @CherryBombToys today. It looks VERY familiar, but I can't place it. It's not a Strawberry Shortcake, and the bottoms of the shoes are stamped 'HONG KONG', as is a sticker inside the dress. Can any #ToyHistorian reading this identify it?

[Stray Silvers @StraySilvers]

Finally found a chalice I'm happy with. Late 19th century (?), Hamilton Ontario. Serendipitous thrift store find. #Wicca

@GailSimone Behold, my two first #comicbookcrush -es in all their glory. I... may not have the best taste in physiques.

[Stray Silvers @StraySilvers]

@GailSimone Male: The Wesley Dodds Sandman, from 1980s Brazilian translations of 40s comics. Female: Squirrel Girl, in her first appearance in the 1991 Marvel Winter Special. #comicbookcrush

[Stray Silvers @StraySilvers]

... WANT. Very, very much WANT. (For those not in the know, @heatherosejones is the author of the 900+ page 'Cognitive Aspects of the Grammaticalization of Medieval Welsh Prepositions'. This should be GLORIOUS.) https://t.co/9XGDUmPkBm

[Dr. Heather Rose Jones @heatherosejones]

Had this weird epiphany about how gender/sexuality identities across time & space are like prepositional semantics. I may blog about it.

[Stray Silvers @StraySilvers]

This book was AMAZING and everyone should buy and read @AlyssaColeLit's masterpiece of squee immediately. I devoured 'A Duke by Default' with gusto usually reserved for decadent Carbonara, and was left wanting more. Much more, please. https://t.co/7gCuCUXxEP

[Stray Silvers @StraySilvers]

I respect, but can't understand the taste of anyone who doesn't find Jill Count hair pretty, at the very least. (Jill Count being the character below, from @IthaquaLabs's excellent Perceptions of the Dead game series. First one's free on Steam!) https://t.co/GM6NbsmFze

She-ra: this is Adora. She's gay. This is her frienemy, Catra, who is also gay

Me: excellent. Go on

She-ra: Bow and Glimmer are-

Me: yes, mlm/wlw solidarity, good,

She-ra: Look. Here's Scorpia. She's-

Me: Gay, and also my best friend now, yes

It arrived! Daughter of Mystery, by @heatherosejones, arrived today and will be on its way to my university's Pride library tomorrow. It's an essential read I can't wait for others to discover and delight in. https://t.co/E2XPawLfnq
