found out the other day that my printer is subscription based… meaning i cannot print anything (even though i have a physical printer with ink inside of it) unless i subscribe to pay monthly 🙂 what the fuck
@spiicymiiso
we really need to revert back. sometimes technological advancement is not the move… especially when greedy corps take advantage of literally everyone
@trustbeIlamy
THATS WHAT IM SAYINGGGG!!! like they didn’t even advertise it as a subscription either. they said “get 6 months free toner” and that’s it. i thought it meant i’d just have to buy more toner later but NOPE ITS A SUBSCRIPTION TO EVEN USE IT
the way booktwt views their “english degrees” as entitlement is insane to me. i also have an english degree and i do not think it makes me better than anyone else. i am not holier than thou bc i’m in debt and know how to read big words. the ego in this space is insane 😅
i don’t understand the people who refuse to DNF books bc me??? i read one sentence that i don’t like and im deleting the whole book from existence and never thinking about it again 🤷🏻♀️
i actually don’t like telling people that i like to read bc then they ask me what kind of books i like and i have to be like “oh, uh, well…” and try to come up with something that isn’t a devastating, gut wrenching gay sports mafia series
idk why people act like “problematic content” in books is some new thing. books have always challenged status quo, they have always been an avenue for highlighting sensitive topics and portraying questionable circumstances/existences.
@imdatfeminist
women after a break up: let me study myself + heal, gonna stay single + celibate while I learn self love
men: let me ruin yet another girl bc I refuse to believe women are actual ppl + not just dolls to throw my unresolved emotions at :) oh and I need someone to do my laundry
@Ophallic
it’s insane???? why is this even a thing 😀 and apparently the subscriptions are page based. you can choose 50 page printing, 100 page printing, and so on………… like how am i supposed to know how many pages i’m gonna need?!?!

I was painting my parents kitchen with my mom last night and she kept saying she was gonna “focus on edging” in the corners of the walls and I was like

“stop reading books because it’s not a real hobby! the only real hobby is athletic activities and using toys nobody has ever heard of! i’m so much better than everyone because of these absolutely obscure and niche interests!”
that’s you. that’s how you sound.
i’m convinced that smut haters are just not comfortable with sexuality in general and that’s why they get so uncomfy when they think about fictional characters having sex
people on this app are so pretentious. just say it with your chest 👐🏼 you think romance readers are DUMB, you think you’re better than them, and you’d rather people never read a book ever again if its not from your pre-approved list of intellectually stimulating discourse 😀
laurent saying “you can tell my uncle boykiller that he can cut the head off every child from here to the capital. It won't make him into a king, it will simply mean he has no one left to fuck.”
i am in love with him and his filthy unfiltered mouth
for the love of god yall need to stop reading dark romances if you can’t handle the triggers that are fucking listed and then whine about it when it goes against your delicate sensibilities holy fuck how many times do we have to have this conversation i’m being so serious
do you ever read a book that’s so well written so frustrating so interesting so amazing and makes you feel a rollercoaster of emotions that either lowkey ruins the next books you read or makes you feel the urge to wait weeks before starting a new one cause you can’t get over it
the only weird thing about 🌽 is that men don’t moan enough for my tastes like where’s the whimpering where’s the dirty talk where’s the incoherent mess of noises that just slip out ???
i block people i’ve never interacted with before on booktwt bc i see them in a moots replies and i decide i don’t want to see their shitty ass takes on my feed ever again
i present to you: the water wheel.
insane concept, works exceptionally well, can be built from natural resources with zero modern technology, was created in the 4th century and is still used today in 2024. wild.
unfortunately there is not a single cell in my body that wants to make the effort to be in a relationship irl so i’ll just stick to my books until someone comes along to change my mind - and if that never happens… well
@MsMichelleR
i would be SO upset if i read a romance and it ended tragically without my knowledge… i have to know if there is gonna be a HEA or not beforehand
news just in! millennials and gen z “splurge” on groceries instead of restaurants, expensive clothing and vacations! almost like! we are all broke and can only afford basic necessities!
normal booktwt accounts should consider this before following me:
i read about gay boys with fem kinks, i read about straight guys doing very very gay things, and i read books w/ taboo tropes & forbidden love
my acct is not an acct for delicate sensibilities i fear 👐🏼
see a tattoo, post a tattoo
my oldest sister passed away november of 2022. i found a card where she had drawn a heart. i then got my other three siblings to draw me a heart, and i drew one. i had them tattooed in age order. this is my absolute favorite tattoo i have so far.
yall have got to stop reading books that you clearly don’t enjoy the tropes of… i beg you… bc if you read the synopsis of this book you’d see it’s a romance between a girl and her dads best friend like why are yall surprised you’re getting exactly what you signed up for 😐😐😐
Is the problematic trope being glorified or does the creator just expect you to be smart enough to already know that the thing being depicted is problematic
